I was pumping gas, working evenings and weekends, at a “Supertest” Station. I was 17-18 and I had an older Triumph T100 (500cc, single carb, Purple). A guy pulled in with a blue K0 (or K1). I was just stunned. My next bike was a cb550K, but cars became the major distraction.
From 1979-84 I raced in a Canadian, national show room stock series, The Honda/ Michelin Challenge. Our major sponsor (the dealers really got into it in Ontario and Quebec) was just north of Toronto. We worked on the two team cars at the dealership, several nights, every week. One night there was a really clean, almost new cb750K7, in the wash bay. Some guy traded it in on a new Civic! The owner really didn’t want it around....... I think I paid $300 for it, and still have it!
