Im proud to say after owning it for 10 years (bought my 2 brothers out when my dads passed away) then it sitting in a shipping container for 7 years, then 3 years building it...ive now used it a few time to get to work on and also to go round Roo's house to talk bollocks like most middle aged bikers do...

Its not my main bike...its my old man's so will stay with me for as long as humanly possible...ive never owned a bike this old (my main daily is a 2014 z1000 with a shit load of mods) along with a Hypermotard 1100 evo sp and an old pre aprc RSV4 factory which after 11 years of ownership still scares the shit out of me...

One thing i will say, as i said to Roo. Its growing on me, definately, when i go in the garage it almost says... "pretty sure this bit might need adjusting...go on, you'll feel better once you do..."

CB500 four, continually used since rebuild in 1995.  I'm pretty sure the forum was text only in those days and my computer was Windows for Workgroups 3.11.  Bought my bike for £150 in some boxes.

CB750F1 bought new in 1976 for the princely sum of £1200, it was either that or central heating for the house but my better half gave me permission to get the bike, no car in them days either.
