  • Tryin' To Slow Down "Time"!


        I knew I needed to do it and several have suggested it, but I didn't want to let this one go. What I'm trying hard not to say is that I just sold my CB350F a few minutes ago. Didn't really want to sell that one. Opportunity presented itself and I was on the spot. Next thing I knew, I agreed and he accepted. Like I said, I knew I needed to thin things out, but I hadn't planned on getting rid of that one. Oh well, I guess it's time to move on.   

                                 Take care all, Bill

            Thanks Tim, I had figured on working on a couple of dirt bikes (a Kawasaki 350 Big Horn and a 79' Yamaha DT175), see about getting them running and selling to get some "Project Money" and going from there (getting rid of the Dirt Bike and maybe the Yamaha RD350 first) So far (since about a year ago) I've sold 7 "Project Bikes" (3 80' XS650s, an 85' TY350, a Hodaka Road Toad, a 62' CL72 and now a CB350F). I traded a 71' TS125 for a mid 60's 250cc Jawa, so I don't guess that counts. ::)

         Naw, you've got that old addiction. :D I neglected to add that, while I got rid of 7 (in that time frame), I'd picked up on those 3 350s that you don't want me to mention. ::)

         Hopefully, I can get into the 80' 750K soon and get it squared away for a "Daily Driver" and go from there.

            I hear ya "about being addicted to reviving as many as you can"! I've got the want to, just don't have the moula. ::) I've got a 73' RD350 that needs carb work, maybe crankshaft seals and front brake work.

                                 Later on, Bill ;)

Pick one and get it done my friend.....

Its a real motivator when you actually have one where ya want it.

I finally realized that I just can't get to ALL of them.

SO concentrate on one at a time.....

Sounds like AA huh?

               ::) ;)   Guess you could say it is a diet thread. It is about Loosing! :D Matter of fact, speaking of loosing, I may be selling the Kawasaki Big Horn also. Should know soon.

       Well, I got word this afternoon that both the CB350F and the Kaw 350 Big Horn are History! The sale is complete. Kinda hated to see them go, but gotta face reality and I knew that. Time to do some rearranging and see about getting some working space! ;)

Im facing the same thing bill...soon the 83 Interceptor may be leaving along with the parts bike since i have all the parts i need off of it already. Which brings me down to the 85 Interceptor, the CB550 and the S2..Hopefully soon i will be replacing the 83 with a CBR.
