Re: My '73 CL350 Updated 6/7/09 Fresh Paint
Your bike looks super nice. I REALLY like what you did with the headlight -- I have often thought about how to do something similar, but I never quite got all the pieces lined in my mind as to how to do it -- I surely will take your idea and try to integrate it into one of my future projects.
I hope you keep the bike long enough to continue working on it, fine tuning the details and that it continues to evolve from awesomeness to further awesomeness.
Great work.

Re: My '73 CL350 Updated 6/5/10 WRECKED!!!!
I'm guessing your more or less OK as someone had to take pics and post them.
What happened?
Looks like something white in the back wheel?
Did it pick something up or grab something with suspension movement?
Did you just go too fast, gravel/oil on road or did someone run you off the road?
It's fixable, looks like lock stop broke off frame, they are pretty flimsy.
Tank probably took a good smack from bar/fork leg.
Heal up soon and get'r'dun

Re: My '73 CL350 Updated 6/5/10 WRECKED!!!!
Well, I'm in one piece. Except for a bruised ego and tailbone....... I was on my way home from work last week. When I went over some railroad tracks with some uneven patches of asphault. I ride that stretch everyday. So, I know where to slow down and avoid. I was going about 25-30 mph, when I went over the tracks. Then all of a sudden I hit the uneven section and got the craziest speed wobbles. Thank god that the bike went down a ditch instead of the other lane. Where there were semis heading towards me. I flew off of the bike and landed on my tailbone and back, and came to rest just a few feet from a telephone pole.
The bike on the other hand is pretty f**ked up, but can be salvaged.
