Coast to Coast
Hey Everyone,
As it seems like most of these start, I've been lurking around for a while and finally am getting around to starting a build thread. I picked up this CL350 for $600. It was in decent condition and had a title, so that was good enough for me.
Here's a picture of when I picked it up at the PO's

Here's some more when I got it home to my apartment.

I didn't have a truck to haul it, so I had to rent one from U-Haul. It's not a bad deal, but they really screw you on the mileage and refilling an F150 is expensive. Hopefully by the time I get my next bike for I'll have a truck, or at least a generous truck-owning friend. In the second picture, you can see the CL cozied up with my grocery getter, a 1981 Honda C70 Passport. Here's another photo of the C70.

In my next post, I'll share some of the images I've collected as inspiration so hopefully you can see where I'm going.
Thanks for reading!
