New Member Introductions / A Confession 1973 500/4
« on: May 28, 2022, 05:42:28 PM »
Good evening all, I’ll start with an apology and confession.
I’m a Ducati guy, and bring greetings from the Ducati Monster Owners forum and club.
Unfortunately late last year one of our members passed away suddenly, and I’ve spent the last couple of months helping his widow to dispose of several Ducatis’ and a garage full of spares.
All I can do is assure you I’m genuine, please check out the DMOC forum for posts by me if you need some clarification.
I’m well on the way to dealing with everything, except the 1973 CB500/4 that he started restoring @25yrs ago and stopped @20yrs ago.
I have lots of images of the mountain of parts, including two engines, one of which is partially stripped.
There are a load of small brand new spares still in Honda packaging.
A big plus in the bikes favour is the Brand new still in a Honda box tank which his widow believes he purchased when he first got the bike.
I’m reaching out for help, one owners group to another, to help value it and possibly make a sale.
But we must do the best for his widow and not let it go for a silly low price.
Please note however that it must all go as a job lot.
Many thanks.
