  Boy, you SURE have got that right Terry! In MY case, it was my Dad and His Dad! ;)   

  And I'd like to say Happy Father's Day To All, as well. :)

I was going to take the K1 goldie out for an early morning Father's Day ride...pouring out like mad here in WI...dang. Well, maybe this afternoon when the kids show up. I think my son may like to try out the 75 CB360T I just finished up. He sold his CB750 Shadow to buy an engagement ring...no kidding.

I have to say I like that 360.   Looks almost like the on in front of my tv.
Somewhere I have a pic of it in front of my tv as it is now but cant find it.

a lil something i wrote in the Dive Bar ....



i raise my glass to all the single dads on here ,guys that do it for the kids,  guys that just shut the #$%* up and give the #$%* the cash ,
 real men that are still there for their's every second they have the opportunity,
guys that wear corny t-shirts and belt buckles that say "worlds best dad" with pride
 lifting up the next generation , making them into REAL MEN, not little #$%*in crybabies with daddy issues.
Cheers to all the dads who's kids have matching dirty fingernails
 teaching them how to swing a hammer and the difference between a phillips and a flat head ..

 cheers to guys that don't ask for a hand out, and don't need a pat on the back .
   but will gladly accept it

Cheers to us ...   Happy Fathers Day

Happy Father's Day to me. The kids got together and bought me a new tire
so I can put my CB550 back on the road.

Haven't had the $ to purchase one.

God forces us to live with  non-believers to test our resolve.

I guess being a fathers day thread I could have used this pic of Dad on the 360.

I think the 360 did not get a fair shake with the recall and all. And it was compared to the CB350 which was very popular and had a long run. I have to admit I was not looking for one, but it just happen to come my way for $300. Turned out to be a real nice bike. After sitting in a garage for 15 years she started right up and ran very smooth for a bike that was taking a long nap.

I got mine mostly for free in great shape.    It sat for about ten years and then got it out.   replaced the bearings and rubber cleaned the tank and carbs and has been going strong sense.  Been across state over the passes several times.
