Been Around the Block
I'm about to hunt down and beat the shit out of the POS who sold my friend this CB350. She didn't know what she was looking at, other than it was a running CB350, and got seriously ripped off. We'll it ran just long enough for her to get it home. For the price she paid, I would expect a decent restoration. Instead, it's a rust bucket. Now I'm working on it.
Final problem before it's on the road (hopefully!)
The PO was riding it using the passenger foot pegs. He had the shift lever flipped around, so the shift pattern was reversed, but had done nothing to make the rear brake usable. I had my friend get a new foot peg assembly from ebay, went to put it on, and found out why he'd been riding it like this. Looks like he stripped out the threads and had tried to clean them up, then broke a tap off in the hole. I have no idea how the @#$% you'd do that, and I have no idea how the @#$% to get it out. I was excited for her to get a bike, but I'm not happy about fixing this idiot's stupid mistakes.
