I can't help myself

Post by Hoosier Tom » Sun Oct 18, 2015 10:53 pm

After I told myself I wasn't going to buy another 305 project, I picked up a '65 Super Hawk on Friday. This one was in my mom's hometown and I first was contacted by the owner about 8 years ago. I think I will park it in the corner and wait a while before I start stripping it down.

I know the feeling Tom! I wanted a CB77 to restore but couldn't find one in reasonable condition at a sane price so I picked up a C77 Dream to work on. I am afraid that if I ever find a CB77 I am going to have to buy it. The problem is that I already have 3 motorcycles and my friends (and BF) say that if I buy another bike, they are going to have me committed!

Great find! The well-known formula comes into play again.

The ideal number of bikes is n + 1

Where n is the number you have presently.... :-)

Congrats, Tom. Maybe a closeup pic sometime?

Dianne's story is exactly the same as mine, except I finally found a CB77. My wife hopes I don't trip over a CB72. The neighbor's garage already holds two of my bikes and I have no more room.
