Here are the smaller Honda Fours from the auction:

Lot#                Model                 Max Bid       Sales Price

T133.1        1973 CB350                      $10,450
F247                1974 CB350                      $7,150
S55                1975 CB400                               $4,950
F68                1977 CB400                     $12,100
F260.1        1975 CB550F      $4,500          Reserve not met
F87.1        1975 CB550F                     $6,600

I bought the CB550F that sold on Friday, and I probably overpaid a bit.  Did that bike belong to any of you?

 I need to give up on ever owning a Vincent and maybe find an old Indian. Said the guy with too many bikes already.

 And it appears we did get covid at Scottsdale. Farq. We'll be Ok. I'll check in on our friends later this morning.

Plenty of rest and fluids Don...
The Pfizer med often gives metallic taste for some but Moderna has better med without that issue. My doctor said they could easily have avoided the metallic taste issue eliminating one chemical in the drug...

Hope you all get well quickly...

Don, glad you bounced back quickly. Be sure to give your body the rest and food it needs to continue to get well. Multivitamin will generally flush what you do not need. Plenty of vitamin C and a D3 vitamin are a good idea to supplement with daily.

Nasal rinse like NeilMed can flush any virus out of your sinuses and can help you get over a lot of viruses quicker. FWIW

Get plenty of sleep as even when you get a mild case it can take weeks to feel good again, getting enough sleep helps your body heal.

Hang in there and glad to hear the good news.

Covid seems to be like a std flu nowadays.
I had Covid in December. 2 lines on the put straw in the nose  home test.
My last flu's I had in early 2000 were worse. Horisontal mode for a few days with hallucinations.
No chance to work from home as I did in December.

I noticed
1. A harsh sore throat as I never had before. Before swollen throat and pain in throat sides.

2.  24 hours of slime factory producing a mothful every 3-5 minutes.
 I had a bucket beside my sofa and madrass in living room where I stayed.

I had to sit to not get all that in my lungs. I had a little worries about slime factory going down the lungs.

I read that this can be typical for Covid.

3. Irritating dry cough that continued after home test did not show Covid.

4. It felt as a cold that continued after to give me plugged nose and sinuses which I cured with spray and pills without prescriptions.

I will not take more vaccines to avoid that. Old type of flu much worse.

Covid has developed to something our bodies can handle unless a new version is released by the vaccin makers.

I had taken 3 Pfizer shots, last one 1 year before I got it.

My wife and son had much milder.
But they had a cold 1-2 months before that hit them very hard for 2-3 weeks, me not at all.

Hey Per...I also had a mild case of Covid in early Dec.   Had a very painful sore throat, only wanted to drink hot coffee or hot tea w/honey. And no appetite for 3 days.
It's time for a booster but out local CVS doesnt have a supply.

Having had it it may have pumped up your natural immunity so that could be a positive.

 I'm just glad our friends didn't also get it. The ones that live down there (AZ) that we visited with report a high rate of employees calling in where they work. I also noticed that a drug store in Pheonix seemed to have a lot of empty shelves in the cold/flu area.
  I read that doctors are seeing people with a similar set of symptoms but with no positive covid test.
  My Doctor did also say it will be treated like a cold soon and people will get back to everyday life without worrying about it.

Same here.  I tested positive shortly after a trip to Vegas with friends and was concerned that they may have contracted from me...

The virus can live in your sinuses after you are over it, you aren't contagious but it is still present. Not sure if it is dead or what. The NeilMed sinus rinse clears that crap out of your head and you won't test positive then. It can help you get over respiratory infections and other viruses too.
Odds are if you have no symptoms you are fine.
I was told by healthcare worker, nurse, who did a test on me I could test positive for 6 weeks to 3 months after having CoVID.
Friend and his son had it and had to have clean test to return to school and NeilMed rinses helped his son achieve clear test after getting over CoVID and waiting the recommended time after no symptoms.
