So whose got the green CB350 with red wheels?

Stumbling home last night after several pints of non-irish beer, I heard the unmistakeable rumble for an old motorcycle coming down an alleyway and then past me, near Howard Park and Dundas.

If my eyes didn't deceive (which is entirely possible considering the massive amounts of alcohol), it was a green CB350 with red wheels. I know I've seen it on this site before. So who is it?

What's the weather like up your way now DrJ? I had mine out last week a couple of times but winter came back again

where is this mystery bike. i would scrounge through dr. js post but that might take quite a while. how about a pic?

The season has begun here in Toronto. Virtually all traces of snow are gone and streets are clean. But you never know, Ol'Bastard Winter may reappear anytime from now until mid-April.

nice... and dirty. my friends kept getting on me about things not being all shinny but I liked it. but alas as soon as i took some things off i got bored and caught the polishing bug. looks good man.

DrJ sir, might one with calcified eyeballs request a link to a larger picture? I can't make out the detail i would like to. For instance, on my computer, the seat completely disappears into the background.

sweet ride,
It is a good game- bit like marco polo, when you hear a nice bike just out of sight.

You live around here, DrJ? I haven't seen your bike since before the red wheels, and nowhere near the west end.

An older photo with stock rims. Not the prettiest but very reliable and turns heads every time I ride it.

Yup, that's my hood.

i know i already commented but this new pic just needs more praise. i dont see to many cb's with the original bling left on that i like, but this bike has it. im more excited about putting my nos tank on since i had the 60's tank but ordered the 70's like this one. did you fab up that braking setup? it looks so simple its genius. im just flipping the shifter and go with gp shift but the brake is what ive been worrying about without being able to weld. but i feel like i could cut that out. what hardware would you need to lock in the shifter while letting it still have its free play for shifting?

Very very nice. It's sometimes said that the mark of a true artist is knowing when to stop.
Did you make the seat, too?
Nicely understated= class ~ classic.
