Value of my 11/70 CB750 K1 (PJT 460J)?

Thanks folks,

I will take time to think things through, particularly as last Sunday (25th April) was our 40th (Ruby) wedding anniversary and I always told Bev the K1 was her anniversary present as it was Ruby Red!  And even tough she hoped I was joking, she went along with it and I believe she would have wanted me to finish it. 

By way of introduction and so that Bev is not faceless, this photo was taken on 25th June 2019, the last night of our 3 week/3,000 mile European touring holiday in our TR6 which Bev planned with meticulous detail.

You are a very lucky man to have had a wife so beautiful, cherish the memories you had of the times together. Dont do anything rash now and look to your family and friends for support, so sorry for your loss, best wishes, Ken

Only just read your post Andrew as I am away in the motorhome and am really sorry to hear of your sad loss. Can't say more than has already been said - can't imagine your pain. Your memories of your beloved Bev will always be with you.

Andrew-S:
Thank you Ken, Phil and everyone and particularly to one member who sensed something was wrong towards the tail end of last year and PM'd me several times checking up on me.

I have indeed been both very lucky and privileged to have had Bev in my life for 44 years, 40 of which were as my wife. Bev was 16 and studying for her O Levels at Thames Valley College in Twickenham when we met, and I was a long haired 19-year-old biker from Brentford whose life could have gone in the wrong direction - Bev took the photo on my avatar soon after we got together in 1976, she loved riding pillion on my gold K1.

As for the K1, I have done a lot of thinking over the weekend and have decided to finish it, ride it and see where it takes me.

Thanks again,
Andrew

Good to hear that you're going to finish the bike Andrew. It must have been a tough time for you, working on the bike will be the best kind of therapy. I'm looking forward to seeing it when finished. 👍
