Take it!!! Wife will not really kill you, and the time in the dog house can be spent fixing the bike up.

Flowers = CB 750, good trade. Might have to spice it up with a good meal and movie for the wife, but GO GET THE BIKE>!!! She may get suspicious at that point though LOL  :D

I built Home Wrecker when my wife said I did not need any other bikes  ::) ;D

Well, I got over there and he doesn't really want to part with the bike, plus I talked him into keeping it.
He'll wish he had if he does part with it. Seems he scared himself in a ditch he rode down.
Bike isn't hurt and he just put new tires on and chain and sproket set. I told him to bring it over to the shop
and we'd tune it a bit. I still may end up with it but he ought to keep it.
