Dave,

I remember last time when you got rat arsed, then fell asleap in the chair, woke up with a stiff somthing or other. 

[cb350f_rider_73]

To recap the greeting thread I posted when arriving here, I scored a 73 Honda CB350F complete with title, owner's manual, packing list from the crate, warranty card and original bill of sale for 200 bucks.  All electrics work, it cranks and all I have to do is get the carbs straightened out.    On a side note, I have a pal who would cry at some of these deals.  He wants a bike so bad he can practically taste it, but can never raise the funds to buy one.

Perhaps he needs to work longer hours Wayne, that or get rid of his missus.

[cb350f_rider_73]

Poor guy doesn't have a missus, Sam.  The problem is, he is also kinda lacking in the money management skills department.  I've told him this myself, as I happen to currently be a business major in college (Finally got around to going back, no degree = dead end) but he keeps blowing his money on impulse buys which don't happen to be on two wheels.

Bloody business students! My son is an art student, but knows that there's more money to be made in a "professional" career, in fact there's an art student joke that goes "What did the art student say to the business student?.............. Do you want fries with that?" Looks like I'm gonna die poor, boo hoo! Cheers, Terry.

Hello

I paid $800 (CAN) for my CB750K with 43,000 KM and all original.  The bike needed a rear tire, chain, carbs cleaned, and exhaust (I got a used MAC 4-1 system).  I really love the way it sounds and rides, but I think it looked better with the original exhaust.

 Paid 350.00 usd for My 73 750 with about 12442 km on the tach, did arepair for the guy I bought it from andd got some of my money back. So I paid 170.00 usd for the thing. Damn it I am proud of that.

Well Cheapy ol' pal, I do need a set of K1 gauges? Maaaaate? Cheers, Terry.

Terry, I was an art student - but only for 5 years - and I have to admit it's all true.....well it was for me anyway, although I never had the get up and go to actually work in McD's. Spent more of my time horizontal, or polishing bikes. In the end I became the UK's first (and probably last) fully qualified Paper Sculptor, and pretty much unemployable.   

[Terry in Australia]

G'Day Mark, I read one of your earlier posts where you mentioned that distinction, and because the tone of that post was rather sad, I didn't have the heart to ask you why the hell you decided to be a paper sculptor in the first place?

My son Tim is a talented animator (my father who's now retired, is quite a well known military aviation artist here in Oz, but obviously that talent skipped a generation) and hopefully will find his way into the film industry or print media eventually, but if not, I don't care what he does, as long as he's happy. Cheers, Terry.

Well Cheapy ol' pal, I do need a set of K1 gauges? Maaaaate? Cheers, Terry.

These gauges are in nice shape. I have a set of new faces coming for them too. I figure I would re do the ones on the 750, sell them to some lucky soul (was thinking eBay or now... you) and just sell the ones from the 500's for cheap. One of the 500's has a nice set of 2-1 Mac exhaust pipes too.

I have a line on a 77 550F. I'll know more later today.

Are they the "correct" K1 gauges Cheapy, ol' pal? If they don't have the "idiot lights" on the faces, they're not K1, and I've got plenty of later model gauges, they're quite common.

The K1 gauges aren't "rare" like the K0 mega-dollar items, because the K1 isn't particularly collectable, I'd just like to put the "correct" gauges back on my bike? Cheers, Terry.

Heres a pic before the face redo that I ordered
