I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Naw, I was given a 400F three years ago Tim, it was complete and it ran ok but needed a full cosmetic resto, but after riding it I just decided that unless you weigh less than 150 pounds, 400F ownership could be construed as "cruel and unusual punishment", ha ha!

I passed it on to a mate who did it up for his daughter, she loves it! Cheers, Terry. ;D

No worries Tim, have you got a CB350F? I restored one of them, really pretty little bike, but like the 400F, too small for me.

I swapped it for a new $5K lathe and another $1000 worth of tooling, so the money spent on the resto was quite an investment! Cheers, Terry. ;D

Nice score!  My 400F is the only bike I have ever regretted selling.  I've been keeping my eyes out for another one, but everything I find is out of my price range now.  You'll love it!
