She makes the bike look awesome! The new paint looks good too.

Looks like a million bucks Doc, you did a great job on it! 8)

Bike? What bike?

I'm just kidding!

The bike looks wonderful, Doc! I'm getting very nostalgic just looking at that beautiful motorcycle!

Yep, after some careful studying, I noticed a bike in those pics.

That machine is a good height for Linda. You just lost that bike, Doc.

It may be her bike for a while. That 1975 CB400 Supersport is still available though.... His and hers? Problem if I still have that %$#@ BSA running up a tab. It needs to be unloaded before I buy anything else...

I'm not trying to be negative, but get rid of the Brit Bike, Doc.

You will be far happier with the Hondas.

I like the bike, but It's not as well made as a Japanese bike of similar vintage, and the 75 is more fun to rirde, especially since I know it won't blow up.

Heres the link to the 400, BTW 8)

I saw an identical (but restored) version of the same bike sell for $6,500 on Meachem Auto Auction on the TV a few nights ago. Same year, same color...

My goodness! Grab that bike before someone else gets it! 8O I can't believe it's still available at that price!
