    It was a 750 Honda . Guy practicly gave it to me.
    I had to clean the gas tank out. Pour a liner in it and forgot what all.
    Got it to running good. It would git up and run.

    That 750 four was a fast motorcycle. I remember riding a friend's once - smooth as silk - hardly no vibration. But I was glad to get back on my Ironhead LOL.

    My last Honda was a CB 450 in 1971-'72. It was the first bike with double overhead cams - pretty advanced for it's time . . . and like you say, the one I got now is better.

    Never owned a Japanese, Brit, or German bike? Hope you at least got to sample one every now and again. American V-twin torque and character is great, but nothing like running through the gears on a light, tight, inline four like it owes you money AND slept with your wife!

    Since 64 I have owned all kinds of Metric and Harley Street bikes.
    And I have owned a pile of Dirt bikes. Yamaha, Kawasaki and suzuki.

    I would buy a bike ride it for a while sell it and get another one.
    Found people in a money bind that wanted to get rid of their bike.
    I would buy it ride it and find somebody that wanted it and sell it.
    Did about the same thing with cars and trucks.
