My one and only cycle owned, 75 750K. Bought a 78, but sold most the parts, getting back the motor and rolling frame soon. So just the one for me. So far!

   Okay , I may have bought a dead 500/ 550 or two . Alright , truthfully 18 of them, and not a one of them roadworthy. In the last 3 years I have rebuilt 11 of them, some twice. I have 6 daily rider 500/550 finished, a 550 that I need a seat on,a 550 that I just shot a coat of black on the frame today, a bone stock 78 K that gets attention next, a 76 K that gets a rebuilt motor after that , a 76 F that needs allot, and.... you get the idea...and 2 parts bikes
   So far only 1 500 -non repairable frame  or motor, 1-550 engine also non repairable out of 14.
Pics , yeah I know, it didn't happen with no pics. Most of them are in the Gallery in  500 or 550. The rest will go in when they're done, promise.
     By the end of summer 12 will have been rebuilt and saved from the scrap yard.

  That was pretty funny. Unfortunately I can only add to the count. I had to repost because I lost count and had to go out in the shop and count to be sure, Yeah, I'm putting my shoes back on now.

We all should have a "resurrection block" in our forum profiles.  Would make this a lot easier   :)

My 75 550 that I found in a shed stripped of half it's parts but had to have it anyhow. It's what got me hooked on vintage Hondas.

My oldest sons 73 750 "F n K", wasn't quite done at the time of the photo but close to it. He rides it almost every day in the summer.
