My girlfriend has a 76 550 with the original exhaust and she's SELLING it! I hate her for it since I got it running and, I tell you, it sounds great. Forget four in to one exhausts. The four in to four is the way and the light.
She keeps mumbling some crap about the kids education. I don't understand.
Women generally have a higher thought process than us men, thats hard to grasp.
Lets see.... Educate the children or keep a toy... For me the children should be fine in the public school system. I mean look at me. Well maybe not me.
Whenever I buy another bike ( I've bought two more just this week) wife always reminds me that the purchase doesn't serve anyone else in the family. Where as when she buys some silly wall ornament it serves the entire family. Everyone enjoys it!
Now I really excel at math thanks to the public school system.. So last Sunday I bought a 1972 Honda CL 125 for $150.00. None running and nasty. I fiddle with it for 4 hours and put Zero dollars in it. Now today I'm selling it for $550.00 My basic math tells me I just made $400.00. Thats quit a return! If only my stock market returned such numbers I would be sitting good!
So in my mind I need to pass on to my children two basic life secrets that will guarantee them success in life.
1. You must comprehend how a carburator works. Well you don't even need to know how it works. You just need to know how to clear a blocked jet.
2. $40.00 Clubman handle bars are the absolute best investment you can make. This is the real secret to wealth that few people understand and you certainly can't get it in college.
You can take the most unlikely bike in the world. Pull those stock bars and install those god awfull clubmans hack the seat abit and call it cafe. In stock form you can't sell that bike for $500.00 but clubmans increase the value 4x or 5x.
But wife insists the children should not be grease monkeys!
