Thanks, Magpie.

That's rad! I hope I'll be like those guys when I'm old. I just hope I don't ever let my bike sit long enough to get as dusty as the one guys bike. Also, that's probably the best bank commercial I've ever seen.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

The fellow that opened the garage door and saw his old bike - that's the way I felt when I looked at my long parked 750 and decided it was time, time to get it going, time to get involved again with a part of my life I put on hold, time to ride again. That was one of the best things I've done.
Glad you liked the video!
Cliff.

Magpie,I was like you my 70 750 sat in my basement for about 10 years till one day I just said to myself you need to get this running again. I rolled it out of the basement into the garage to start working on it,you could not even turn the throttle it was so gummed up. Now here I am with it an 74 750,81 750 and a 75,79,81, Goldwing plus all kinds of parts bikes.

Good going 6adan! We have a 2007 Goldwing, a '75 would look great next to it. Cliff.
