I don't think any post I've ever made could qualify as helpful, useful, or interesting.

I just enjoy the banter. It's like getting together for drinks. Except without the getting together. Or the drinks.

That one has been cross-posted in Buffalo's Craigslist as well, and I'll admit it has given me pause for a bit of thought.

One of them got me interested in the CB1. I had to google it right away and read all about it. Also looked at bikes on sale on CB1forums.

Looks like a great starter bike. Not sure if $3k is a deal or not. If retail is $3.5k, then $3k is probably fair.

No, thank you. I googled CB1 and showed it to JJ. She liked it

Available in my favorite color too


Thanks to you and Marc, a seed seems to be germinating in my mind

I'm giving my old GSXR LTD to Nick when he gets back from Afganastan as a present for his duty and sacrifice.
He'll have to finish it.

very cool Jeff. And it is going to someone that will love and appreciate it


Also wanted to ask you, how hard is it to find someone to fix old motorcycles? Would all Honda dealers be able to work on old motorcycles? Are parts easily available? I've worked on two-stroke single cylinders (child play for anyone) and have done some minor work on my RD350. No 4-stroke experience whatsoever nor did I ever try to fool around with the CB points or twin carbs on the RD. And this was more than 10 years ago. Now I seem to be distracted by canines anytime I want to try anything handy, as you very well know.
