The blue 750 was sold on Ebay not long ago for around $18,000. It pays to have a good history!

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

That is cool stuff. Being younger, I have never even seen 66. Some day, I would love to ride that road and see all those old sights.

Very cool and an inspiration ;)

Reminds me that I did a similar trip to that the year before (1992) - bought a 1976 CB750 and rode it 7000 miles from Cape Cod, MA to Grand Canyon and back again.

In Monument Valley enroute to the Rockies.



thanks
