    Yee-Hah! I now OFFICIALLY have a stable

    On Wednesday, I went and picked up two bikes (one for SWMBO and one for parts or to fix and flip). Now when I look into the garage it is awesome to see my very own stable. Got-um both for $400



    They are '72 and '73 CB500's. Both have titles, motors froze from sitting since '82, around 10k on the clocks, and are in unbelievable shape for sitting for 25 years. I call them SWMBO1 and SWMBO2
