Just a little update...
I tried Neutral, no difference.
I can feel the pull just after I start moving a few miles per hour, and it really gets no worse with the increase in speed.
I will probably swap tires tomorrow. Since I don't have my tools right now as I am transiting from Germany to Georgia, I have to use the spare to do it and swap them one at a time. Lots of fun.

Well, it turned out to be the tires. Swapped fronts and it pulls left. It's hard to believe there are two bad tires out of four, but I guess it's the same luck as not being able to get to a known good link on the web.
Anyway, thanks for responding, I appreciate it.

I had something similar, maybe it'll help explain?
When we inherited a '98 Accord it had one mis-matched tire. When I rotated that pair to the back it began pulling. Apparently, some alignment shop somewhere had adjusted it so it didn't pull, compensating for the mismatched tire. There was a rather largeallowable rangeofcamber angles, so this was done within the 'acceptable' range of camber.
I got an alignment & I asked them to align by the measured angles, and please ignore the pulling when they did a test-drive. Then when I replaced the tires it was OK.

Strange things happen when rotating and alignment get neglected. It sounds like this was the case from the previous owner ...... lesson learned! Good luck with your new-ish Honda!

Actually, all four tires are new, installed by the dealership, so I'm not thru with them yet.
Here's an article about tires causing a pull.
