Wisconsin?

Hi all- been away a long time; CA77 project stalled due to an uptick in workload, home renovation etc. But I'm back at the workbench and ready to begin my engine rebuild and get the ol' hoss running. What a perfect time for me to come across an exceptionally cheap and complete (less headers/mufflers) '65 CB77. I need another project like I need a hole in the head but my wallet practically jumped out of my pocket.

Anyhow, I've been trolling for a CB for some time and noticed that a disproportionate number of them are located in WI. Now that I'm starting to look for parts, I find that a stunning number of them are located there as well.

Is this just coincidence, or am I overlooking some obvious reason for it?

'65 CB77 - A 'great winter project'

Hey We have the best football team so why not have the best supply of Old Honda's? Seriously I think the reason for having so many parts is we have a couple of really good motor cycle salvage dealers in the state. One guy I think his Ebay name is Mistermonkeyclaw seems to have an endless supply of 305 parts. There is also a dealer in the central part of the state that seems to have a huge supply as well.

As far as the number of whole bikes I don't have a clue.

It boggles the mind. I swear almost every Honda I look at in eBay is in Wisconsin. Maybe it's coincidence, but it's definitely a pattern that's hard to ignore.
