Thank Jeff. I'm a rookie when it comes to GW's. I'll be the first to admit it. This one followed me home(Haha) about a month ago. 1977 original with under 10,000 miles on it. Needs the usual(tires,brakes,carb cleaning,etc) that all older bikes need that have been parked and not rode. Did do the t/belts and that was a adventure. Was having trouble with the pulley marks and case marks lining up, but I think I got it where they need to be. Next the carbs will come off. It will be a while before this Wing is road ready, but I did ride it for a few miles right after getting it and talk about a Cadillac this Wing is Sweet!!!

By the way since the first picture I have rearranged and cleaned out my limited garage space. Now the bikes don't have to be rolled out in the driveway to get to my mower. And I think I might even have room for a bike lift ;D

Here's a "few" of my rideable bikes. Have a couple of CT's in parts in the MC garage, along with a SL175, CHF50, and a customers VTX1300 that I'm putting a V&Hines Big Shot pipe on....
And, a shot of the Wing Bob I want to recreate in Candy Orange and Black, with a set of Black Chrome wheels on it... 8)

Cut the grass today. And to get to my mower I have to roll the bikes out of the garage.

I need a larger garage (shop ::o)
That's an AWESOME stable of bikes. I'd be happy to provide a good home for 1 or 2 of them, just to help you make room for that lawnmower.....lol

My wife Brenda has been very understanding of the whole motorcycle thing, but bringing a 5th bike home would probably get me shot.

I'd like to have a cb350 four

Johnie and Stev-o thanks for the encouragement. What are friends for right ::)

Brenda Brady would love it Johnie, but Brenda Hall would not. Maybe if I could get Marcia to give her a call. Probably not a good idea ::)
A SL350 would be nice Stev-o, but count-um that would give me 5. I'm not one that likes to sell these bikes once I get my hands on them. I'll hold steady at 4 right now and these will give me plenty do. But nobody knows what tomorrow will bring ??? 

MJL, 9 bikes WOW! Yeah a 350four would be nice. Like you say, what's one more bike ;D
