Stellaaaa!!! aka The
Torque Monster
(Karen's 1975 Honda CB360T)
1975 CB 360 T, known to some as the “Torque Monster”
but I just call her Stella. Stella is a sleek and energetic machine
with a slight vibration to please any woman.

Stella can be slightly problematic at times but really has heart
and soul…she just needs to be finessed the right way. Being
my first bike, Stella has brought me many many good times and fond
memories….even the times she has left me stranded, I’ve
come to know as fond.
Because of this, I refuse to part with my dear Stella. She turns
her plugs black and oily so I’m currently researching a top
end rebuild….Stella tells me that this is what she needs in
order to have strength to keep going.
The top end rebuild is the priority right now and then I’m
thinking about throwing on some clip-ons. She’s also been
given the nickname of “squeaky” because her brakes squeak
so I also have to put an end to that.

Stella can be seen running over old folks and small children in
the streets of San Francisco. |
