Yeah but why were you exposing that nice 750 to the elements? A Russian bike I'd expect but...I'd 'assume' you weren't taking it out too??
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

No surprise there, Wehrmacht made it all the way to Stalingrad on those - ok, it was the original, but you know what I mean:)
