Okay, Which One Do You Think ProTeal WIll Sell?
« on: May 22, 2007, 12:56:36 PM »
                                                      Which bike will he sell?

        A.  The CB450?
        B.  The CB750?
        C.  Both?
        D. Neither?

                                                       What do you all think?

             In case you all have noticed, I've never done a poll thread before and don't know exactly how to set it up properly.                             
                                                           Later on, Bill :) ;)

Perhaps the question should be: which one will he sell, and who, from this forum, will buy it?

How does one go about selling a wife?  That would solve numurous problems.
And you would sell your dog?  I taught mine to perch on the seat and ride with me.

Guys, guys, guys...

I was just trying to make a point.  I wouldn't sell the wife or dogs or bike or my soul, just the house.  Please stop PM'ing me about the wife - you couldn't afford her. ;)

I'm right with you there Sparty ;D

But I do have a couple of corrections to make ;)

1/  Wrong order - The correct order is; Wife, House, Soul, Cars, Dogs

2/  You missed out Kids, they slot in right between Wife and House

Anyway, getting back to the subject at hand, I reckon when it comes down to it, I think he'll find he can't bring himself to part with either ;D

Although if he lived in the UK I'd take the 750 off him sharpish, and not give him the opportunity to change his mind 8)

Wow guys - just came across this thread today.
Never knew I was so popular  ;D

As of today, the CB450 is my main bike, as the CB750 is just hangin out in my garage.
I def. want to keep both, but if someone comes across wanting the CB750 it is gone.

That way it's value will plummet and he'ill be happy to give it to me, just to get it off his hands ;D

I am asking $3,500 for the 750 , which I think is more than fair.
Whatever I end up getting for the bike is going straight into my Bel-Air towards a new crate motor.
Then I am gonna ride the CB450, and either get a HD Bagger (Road King Classic) Or something else come spring..

Now I know why my "sell your car" comment was ignored.  Tell us more about the Bel Air!
The car is a 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air Hardtop, and is an original, factory ordered V8 Bel-Air (not some cheap clone)..
Car now has a very very very tame small block 350 with a 3 speed automatic trans (the perfect cruiser setup).
The thing makes no power - but can cruise at 70mph on the tollway all day long without skipping a beat. Since I have owned it I have lowerd it, installed a complete MSD igintion, and other little things here and their. Eventually I am gonna drop a ZZ430 GM crate motor in it, and then throw a Procharger on top of that. The goal is to have 600hp on pump gas with the car looking EXACTLY how it does now. With a nice new motor and about 12 lbs. of boost I should be able to make my goal without a problem.




This is the car (and in the color) I have always wanted, so I  dont see this ride ever leaving my fleet  ;D

You're in the wrong part of the world unfortunately ;)

It would cost me half that again in shipping and import duty :(

That Bel-Air is a sweet ride 8)

The father of one of my ex-girlfriends had one, with the bottom half in red, his had a V8 with 4 speed stick shift.  He's running round in a '59 Vette now, black with ivory scallops 8)

It really pisses his daughter (and my wife) off that we both still keep in touch ;D
