Another one dragged home.......

Outstanding brother! I did my first bike test on a CB 450/ The cop asked me if I really wanted to do the test on such a big motorcycle... My how times have changed.

this bike is looking great, A toast to your skill!
 
I only ever rode one once. I swapped rides with a mate for a few miles and he rode my '70 Bonnie. All I remember was the horrible handling, literally feeling like it had a hinge in the middle. He raved about the Bonnie's handling and described it as feeling like it was carved out of a solid block of steel. Within a few weeks he had sold it and bought a '69 Bonnie.
 
Brings back many fond memories of the one I owned/rode from 1970 to 1973 when I went with the new Kawasaki Z1.

Ok, I am done. Off to the Division of Motor Vehicles next week to put the the neglected "Old Girl" on the road. This one has grown on me, coming back to life after 40 plus years of living in the woods. She also seems right at home with her British sisters.......
