CB500 to an Evo and you're still alive too!

You probably think you died and went to heaven...
Aren't you going to call Colorado and order one of those hedge fund Nortons?

I was mighty fond of that CB500. It started life as a normal street bike, got converted to a long-distance cruiser for two, and ended life as a cafe racer. It was versatile enough to cover the full spectrum, and I wouldn't mind having one today.
Truth is though, I always wanted a Ducati. I almost fell for the Street Triple R, but the heart won out over the head, and so here we are....
The Evo scared me on my first test ride when I grabbed a big handful of throttle for the first time "just to see what this baby can do." But I survived and it's been all gravy since. I consider it a superb machine. but that's another thread....
Back to the Norton; I agree with what you said about it and, no, I'm not calling Colorado. But wouldn't you just love to spend a day with one?
