    More pictures added for your viewing pleasure...

    On Aug-20-13 at 02:34:48 PDT, seller added the following information:

    Had a question regarding the exhaust and not sure if i posted it for all to see...

    Question about the mufflers, if they were rusted out?
    Answered - "The exhaust is the original exhaust and in good shape. One muffler has been welded around where it meets the head pipe by the last owner and the original clamp Has been replaced - it is fully intact and it in no way affects the performance of the exhaust. The tone of the bike is throaty and perfect. No rust in/on any of the mufflers. Inners intact. Both pipes were winterized before storage and kept under cover."


    On Aug-21-13 at 16:09:43 PDT, seller added the following information:

    Just replaced the dual fuel lines, added aftermarket in-line filters to avoid bad/dirty gas probs.


    Cleaning out the garage i also found a clymer's shop manual that will go with it. 
    Also a new turn signal relay as the wife says the turn signal light would light up but didn't blink last time she rode it so she ordered these. ("Turn signals?" I said....dont use 'em,  myself)

    Fired it up and she purrrrrs. 
    All fluid and battery to be removed prior to shipping if regulations demand. 

    If she doesn't sell this time, it is going under cover and to the back of the storage container, not to see the light of day until the grandkids kids are old enough to appreciate it


    On Aug-22-13 at 15:36:18 PDT, seller added the following information:

    Ran it a bit today and noticed small seepage from petcock lever. May need new o-ring from inside petcock.

    Parrish's predictions for Silverstone MotoGP

    Fri, 18 Jun 2010

    I'm at Silverstone for the British MotoGP and Steve Parrish spoke to us all about his predictions for the podium. Parrish has gone for Stoner, Lorenzo and Pedrosa to take the top three spots and spray the bubbly at the end of the race. Not too sure on his call though as I think Dani will be riding on a high after winning at Mugello and surely the speedy Spaniard will take full advantage and wring the neck of the Honda at the (supposedly) high speed Silverstone Circuit.

    Classic Off-Road Bikes Featured in Braving Baja: 1,000 Miles to Glory Exhibition

    Sat, 06 Apr 2013

    Back in the 60s, American Honda tested the durability of its motorcycles by sending a CL72 Scrambler on a 950-mile trek through rocks, sand washes, dry lake beds, mountain passes and paved roads. Fifty years later, that legendary run is remembered for inspiring one of the most significant off-road races in the world—the Baja 1000. In celebration, the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles is hosting a tribute dinner, one-day off road show, and summer-long exhibition called Braving Baja, 1,000 Miles to Glory.
