Wanna share the coordinates, so we can all be jealous?
.... or perhaps you could take  snapshot of GE and post it!
Here's my offering ........ nothing's outside 'cos the dog will eat or maul anything that moves, or has been moved, and pisses on anything that hasn't!

I just spent an hour "google earth wandering" around the Mission district of San Francisco, which is where I gathered the bike is near.
The shots we get on GE are from May 2011 so the "organic bling" would be much smaller.  :)
So far no luck, but I'll keep looking 'cos it's a really nice town and it reminds me of home - Melbourne.   


 
How about google earth? can we see the thing from space or streetview? Pretty much have the guys addy in the desc.

Seek and ye shall find... at least some type of CB!

Seek, and ye shall find, huh?!?  When I walked up today, I remembered seeing this bike while riding the bus through San Francisco a few years ago...I remembered thinking what a waste that beautiful bike was rotting in the elements. 

What you're looking at is my thumb in the air, and the tape I used to attach my note to CB750 #35963  It's a solid K0, and it has current registration. HM300 pipes, the ducktail seat rotting away...it looked pretty complete!  Let's see if they call me back.  I made sure to note I wanted to restore it, in case they thought I was some douche wanting to cafe it  ::)

Cheer up mate  :)
I've just spent two weeks on the island of Mindanao, in the Philippines, and it redefined my view on life.
I don't think I'll ever whinge on "what a #$%*ty day I've had" ever again.
I've got a roof over my head, kids that bust my nuts but have respect for humanity, a garage full of bikes 'n' bits, food on the table any time we want, a girl that loves me ...and the list goes on and on.
It could always be better, but it ain't bad.

Those poor Mindanaons, not all but most, go hungry, dirty, diseased and are always in fear of having their heads cut off by some radical fundamentalist nutcases (I kid you not!), and there's no escape for them from their miserable existence AND yet their happy with their lot.

Life, as we Westerners know it, is beautiful.

P.S. I love your reverse levers idea, amongst all the other bits you make!

No. Fookin. Way.

That's awesome!  I hope you get it.  Any chance of sharing the address?  :-X  I'm definitely not going to snatch it out from under you since I'm from NJ, but it did enjoy doing the Google Street Walk to try to find it and would be curious if I overlooked it somehow.

OK.
BUT, if it wasn't made up AND the bike were real AND it wasn't 'shopped AND it wasn't a fake AND you weren't a liar would you have got a response from the imaginary owner?   :-X
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
