Hello,
this is Daniele from Trieste, Italy.
I own a CB750 K2 from 1973 and other vintage bikes and cars (Vespa 150 from 1960, Aprilia Motò from 11995, Fiat 500R from 1975) and a Yamaha XSR 900.
I'm writing here to get in touch with some people in Rochester - New York who can help me in finding the previous owner of a CB750 K6 I'm planning to buy here in Italy. His name is Ron Freeman and was living in Lyell Rd at the time (see pictures attached).

It would be great to get in touch with him just to know the full story of that bike.

Thanks!

Daniele

Sad news.

Thank you for your help.

Sorry for the sad news but at least you know about the previous owner. He must have loved that bike if he engraved his name & address on it - he meant to keep it.  How did you come to buy it?

You are from Trieste?  My parents were from Italia, I have been there 3 times and love it!
Ah...the the food, the vino, the women!!!!

The bike is here on sale in Italy with italian plate, before it was registered in Germany.

We have a big group of CB Four fans here in Italy!

Trieste is located 80 miles east of Venice, have you ever been around this places?

I have been to Venizia, Milano, Broni [Papa's hometown] in the north and of course Roma, 3 times!

I've also traveled the South, love the Amalfi Coast.

That's a nice memorial to the US owner, he may be gone but the bike travels on!
