Somebody buy this bike- CHEAP!!
« on: June 02, 2006, 01:58:53 AM »
Hey Guys,

I won this off ebay and I don't know why I ever bid on it in the first place.  Would make a good parts bike for you 550 guys.  As you can see I won it for $26.00 and I have no room for it so if someone wants it they can have it for what I payed plus shipping.  I  don't care to make any money off this.  If you are interested pm me w/your email address and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Item # on ebay-  4644043197

Thanks,

Clint

                   Well Clint,
                                  First, we don't know where you are and secondly, we can't see what you are
                  talking about since you have bought it. Could you enlighten us?

                                                    Later on, Bill

Bill,
 Its a 1976 cb550 frame and engine with rear wheel, etc. Looks like a great snag for $26 alright. But the shipping would be a killer!
Here's the eBay listing

Geez, for 26 bucks you can't go wrong! Lucky for me it's not a 750 or i'd be weeping............... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

If I were within 4 hours of Georgia, I'd be all over it.  I'd really only be interested in the engine and a few bits, but not the frame - don't need that temptation in my life!

I may have to come through your way anyway on my way west as my grandmother is sick with inop cancer. I'll let you know. It will be the longest trip on my 750 to date and one of the longest runs I have made yet. But I do have to come your way your get there.

              Now, it's my turn Terry. It's not a 750 but, it is a 550 and Clint sent me a link so that I could
        see what I'm missing. And so, now it is my turn to weep once again. My van would cost me a
        bunch in gas or I'm be knocking on Clint's door, as we speak. Oh Woe Is Me!!! Well, I guess I'll
        get over it, sure would have benefited from it though.

                                                        I'm gone,    Bill

I dunno Sammy, just getting out of England for a few days would be a welcome change, I'd reckon? Ha ha, Cheers, Terry. ;D
