Filled the gas tank and went for a ride. On thursday's at the A&W is an old bike meet, turned out at 43 years old I was the youngest guy there with the oldest bike, everyone else was in retirement age with new bikes and no one was interested in my 78 CB550. They were just standing around admiring eachothers new bikes.This world is getting very strange!
So, are you disappointed that those old farts didn't come over and admire your bike mate, or that the old farts kind of ignored you? I think that there's a myth that pervades thru sites like this, that every bike built in the 1970's was a classic and deserves the "oohs" and "aahs" of anyone from that era.
I bought my first CB750 new in 1978, but (even though I know they're a capable bike) I'm not a fan of 550's, and I wouldn't cross the street to look at one. Your bike looks great and as long as you love it, who cares that no-one else was all that interested in it, you didn't buy it to impress other people, did you? Cheers, Terry.
