Another convert..maybe..
« on: June 13, 2006, 01:27:54 AM »
I took my bike downtown for it's Warrant of Fitness. Wasn't parked for more than 10 seconds and this guy advances on me then starts telling me about his glory days on his K1. I started up my bike and he said "Boy, that takes me back"..All his rides and his mates in the Christchurch CB750 Club, long since disbanded. It took him about 20 minutes to pour it all out.

I said that he should get himself a nice CB750 and get back on the saddle. I Hope that does and  sources a nice bike and that I run into him again. He was stoked!

I'd say 2 out of 3 gas stops somebody coming up and telling me about their old 550 from days gone by...

The first day i had my bike around town after i bought it a guy flagged me down while in his car and i thought something was wrong, but it turns out he had the same bike when he was younger and offered to buy it, but at the time i had just got it so i didn't really want to get rid of it.

I always tell them I have one for sale at the right price ;D. No not mine, but I usually have one in cue somewhere.  ;)
