Awe relax TBT -
Nope I have my sights on a few PDR candidates
There's a DRZ 400 down on the Cape with 15.8 miles on it
for short money it just needs a Baja Street Kit for the PDR
in the Process of haglin that one, then there's an 09 KLR for
short $ and I have an potential investment coming up in a
PC800 I hope to sell on / flip real fast to double up the $$$$
on the original investment
Beginning to think this could be a fun p/t bidness flipping
bikes !
Wheel- in and dealin man

That's a CX not a CBX, Teeks. The adverts confusing - small difference from 2 to 6 cylinders.
Interesting comment from the owner "only ever used mineral oil - she doesn't like synthetics" - if he's never used it how does he know ?
There are plenty of those here - esp 500's. $8K is crazy for that bike.

I happened to start talking to a guy at the local servo tonight, he told me a very disturbing Mk1 Cortina GT story, which now makes me wonder why I ever sold mine.

Well Tony as you very well know the cost of restorations comes
right out of any capital gains that result ! then there's brokers
fees, advertising and marketing expenses, travel to see buyers
and on and on , so at the end of the day yes - Uncle will owe me
some relief due to the expenses incurred in the course of these
business activities.
Simple accounting practices ! .....not to state the obvious
Free is always great Woof - how's she look ?

I can't ride the CX500 because my kneecaps get rammed into the heads.
Has anyone run a search on "Goldwing Supercharger"? Yep! They make a blower for the older wings. There is a sharp looking GL1000 running around where I live. I would love to own it and put that blower on it.
Also, there is also a 2-barrel carb kit that replaces the 4 original carbs, but I'd go with the blower.

You and Pete are two extremely bad influences on members !
How much ? ya know me
However when I get there to pick this up I plan to turn it over by hand
a few times and make sure it has good compression could be a good
reason it's been in a shed 30 years ----- cam belts !!
