Sending a "bromance hug" at you-

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

If they were not PBR's (Does Australia even allow such dreck to be imported?) I don't want to hear about it!  I thought of you over the summer going through Coxsackie during their garage sale mania!

Thanks man, it was a nightmare year and a half.  I am still dealing with the estate and aftermath, and its never-ending.  However, its good to be coming back out of the funk. 

As for the 550, I have all the paintwork done, and its gorgeous.  I just have to step up and get her back together.  I will share pics this weekend.

I will catch up on your 750 ASAP, and I don't think I know how the 500 came out, so I need to catch up on that as well.

Be well Brother!

Melbourne is now the global hub for craft beer - so I am attempting to try every IPA produced here - it's tough but someone's gotta do it.

The CB500 came out like this:



Oh, and the CB450 race bike came out like this:



Looking forward to hearing more from you as your 550 project continues.

Craft IPA's?  I am on the next flight!

Have you sold them, or are they still in the family (I will need something to ride!)

Brilliant work man, BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

I have some new additions...




The CB160 in the back is James'.  $600 thinking we needed to rebuild the top end, it just had the wrong plugs in it.  3 hrs of work and we were ripping it up and down the street!





Lost out on a '75 Commando in black and gold...  BOOOO!

I hope you are looking after "my" CB750F1 mate - I will be over one day to ride it again.

It is being loved in a temperature controlled, rust free environment!
