Was trying to keep in the reasonably good graces of SWMBO then up pops an email....Got your name....would you be interested in....well maybe I'll just look at it.....
So the story is I picked up a 1971 CB175 Basket case 6 months ago, lots of good but the cam etc needs changing and the DPO was a little experimental in his taking things apart but for the money it was OK. Thought that since there have been lots of parts around for the last three CL/CB350 projects that the 175 would not be a problem.....wrong or at least wrong at the price I'm willing to pay.
So then this email.....1972 CB175, crap, tank is different than the 71 but OK lets look.....fellow did some fixing on it 5 years ago. Smooth running, good tires, chain, sprockets.....then wham....the holy grail....NOS header pipes and mufflers and a NOS front fender.....damn these old Hondas.
Curent registration, work properly done, did I mention those NOS parts.....oops forgot, NOS speedo and tach....who is this SWMBO and why do I care?
So a little sweet bike is now home and I'll be part swapping and spiffing her up......and hey SWMBO thinks she is cute and may be a canidate for learning how to ride .....this is cruelty ......SWMBO's are evil.
