XS650 Addict
After two XS650's in a row I drove all day to pick up my next project, another Honda CB750. Been sitting for 25 years under a pole barn and shows everything Mother Nature can do under those circumstances. It is a 1973 year and the good part, it does run, how I don't know with the condition of the carbs and copper electrical wire used as hot wire for the solenoid and battery ground. It is fairly complete and I have never seen this short aftermarket megaphone exhaust set up. The bad, tank is rusty but easily brought back with Caswell, the seat has been a Sunday buffet for mice for years, and worst of all no title, but the sale price reflected all that. I have already started the first step in the Abandoned Vehicle Process in Virginia and other than the extended time it takes to obtain a title, it is relatively simple and not all that expensive. It is going to be while before I get to it, since I still have a front end of a XS 650 scattered all over the garage and that has to go to replenish funds and for the needed room. I will update my tetanus shot and jump in eventually, I believe this will be my 5th or 6th CB750K, like the XS tough as nails and a blast to ride.......
