Haha! Find score
« on: May 09, 2009, 10:08:13 AM »
Given to me for free as a "parts bike" with papers. Everything is there except the left side cover. Exact same as my other bike too! '78 CB 550K with 39,000 km (same as my other one). I don't think this is going to be a parts bike, I think it's going to be another project. The wife is real impressed  :P

Sweet. Yeah, I'm about 3 to 4 grand into my "parts bike" right now. Another grand or so to go and it should be ridable again!   ;D ;D ;D

Hmmm. My wife better not see your reply.

When I kick the kickstart, things move nice and smoothly and there's air coming out of the intakes... it's gotta be good. The P.O. is a motorcyclist and he planned to cafe it but never got around to it but he did give it a kick from time to time (in the right place).  ;D

Get rid of the goofy seat and it'll be getting close to cafe already  ;)

Looking at your avatar... that's really nasty.

Sometimes the only thing more expensive than a cheap bike is a free bike. ;)
