About 30 minutes ago my dad tells me that there's an old Honda on the side of the road near us for sale. I was at his house at the time and he was like "Come on, we'll go look at it." Cool! So we rode up to where it was and it turns out to be a cb500f. It's somewhere between 71 and 77 I think. It's sitting in front of a consignment type place so I sat out front and looked it over. It's got uni filters on it and a rusty hooker 4-2 (it may have had a cross-over tube making it 4-2-1-2) exhaust on it and the tank is original paint but the sidecovers have been painted flat black with no badges. There's an oil leak on the jugs. After my look-see I went inside to ask the dude about it. He's a big dude with a jailhouse swastika on his hand 
He tells me that the boss isn't here today but he'll call him for me. When he gets off the phone he's like "He says it runs good and has been stored inside. He says it's a 1981 and he'll take 28 for it." I'm all like "28 dollars?" And the dude's like "No, 2800 but he says make him an offer."
Now my hope on seeing this bike was that it didn't run and I could get it out of there for a few hundred bucks. But 2800??? wtf? No I'm not going to insult "The Boss" with an offer... I think 800 would be okay. The fenders were shiney. It had 29,xxx miles on the odometer. There's a parking sticker from Maryland college on the rear fender that said 1980. Did they even make cb500f's in 1981? Anyway I was just disgusted and had to vent here. UGH.
Add in the neo-nazi big dude and this was just a bad encounter. Thank god he didn't know that I've got Jewish blood! Another immortal glassy eyed! He thinks he's going to Barrett-Jackson with that thing or something.
