While living in AZ between 2005-13...(wishing I were still there)...

To think that I picked up an 87 EX500 in California that had seen a rough time, having been dropped several times from the looks of things and had been given the flat black paint job.. I flipped it doubling my money before I did anything with it... Little did I know what could be done with it. Having spent less on the bike than a good front or rear tire for a cb550....cheapest bike Ive ever bought.
I was picking up a CB already so, two fit with little added drain to to the fuel bill.
