Someone needs to print a fishing pole holder or two to mount to the shocks and then a luggage rack for the hip waders and other paraphernalia to be lashed down to, otherwise his fishing and acting as a guide will absorb all his riding time.
Will a cb750 get to his fishing holes or is he gonna need a  adventure bike?

I think his CB500 will do just fine. I don't think he has to go far from his house.
