Keep an eye out request.

[powerhammer]

I think i'm gonna go the sub $2k route on a honda cb 750 for my grad school project/rat bike. 

if you guys could do me a favor and keep an eye out for a steal if you see one.  I've been checkin all the craigslists from dallas to houston and have seen a couple to take a look at this weekend.

Thanks all

that's some pretty cool stuff!  some real talent there, what's the going rate? or is it negotiable for long time standing members of the ducati family?

depends what piece yer after.  i'm bout to garage sale(so to speak) a bunch of paintings to purge some shit before i move.  if yer after tools or metalwork, well better get it now before i get my masters cause my prices are going up dramatically afterward   


back on topic, found a 81 honda cb 750 for 1100 i'm gonna look at as well as the 82 bobber cb 750 i found this weekend.  might go for the unmodded one so i can do what i want to it.

[DomDucati]

Hey Mike, maybe a long shot here, but IvoBivo has got a buddy that make want to part with his 750..he's got a few projects working and he may (or may not) want to let er go....mid seventy's SOHC CB 750 kinda ratty with aspirations of someday becoming cafe' d...but it may be worth a try.....you could always ask....

[ivobivo]

Good idea Paul. If my friend sells the CB 750 he might get a Monster.

Mike, I know he payed about 2K for it so he might let it go for that much. I'm sure he wont take less than that. I'll talk to him when he gets back in town in a week or so.

Thanks for lookin out fellas and let me know bout that 750

i went and looked at an 81 from craigslist and i'm pretty sold on goin for a cb 750.  sadly that one didn't fire.  it turned over but also had a leak in the gas tank and some decent amount of rust on parts of the frame.  looked like more work than i am after.  i mean it's gotta at least run wouldn't you think?

i'll make a post on the garage sale when i make it happen. thanks for the inquiry

Yea - in that shape they should be offering to pay you to haul it off.

I guess you sold your Huski?

[powerhammer]

Nope!  not yet anyways.  it's soo hard to let that thing go.  of course if i can get something lined up to replace it I bet it'll be a lot easier to sell it.

I'm also interested in 78-82 goldwings.  yea you read that right.  naked goldwings can be gorgeous.  like this one:
