1995 Honda PC800 Pacific Coast

We owned this Honda Pacific Coast from June, 1997 until September, 2004. At first I rode it (~45K miles). Then Nancy "inherited" it and rode it another 30K or so. It was a great bike for us. It was reliable as an anvil and never needed any serious mechanical repairs. We sold it to another riding couple. He had a black ST1100 like mine and the matching PC was for his wife.
