Been Around the Block
I started a thread in the lounging in the club section but I thought as I change the bike, I'll put the progress and pics here.
It started off by acquiring a 1971 cb500 site unseen from my buddy as he offered me the bike so that he could acquire an old BMW moto while we were looking around the irwindale speedway. I trust this guy with motos, as I've ridden with this guy for some time. We actually met at a couple scooter rallies (2 stroke vintage). If someone broke down on the side if the road, he's the guy that would fix and would be able to rebuild a 2 or 4 stroke engine . So when he told me about this moto for a cheap price I hopped on it.
Upon arrival to check out my new bike....I thought. Wow........this shit is not my style of bike. He told me running bike with about 6g miles. Little did I know the bike was a 70's pseudo chop.......pretty period correct. Complete with twisted iron side stand and highway pegs. Here's a couple pics of the bike. It did have some nutty hideous bars on them and removed them in these pics.
Sorry......some of these first few pics will be repetitive from the other thread
