Oh what a mess i got my self into. Yall know im in the process of opening a bike dealership, well thats still in the works however will not open the doors untill after nursing school is over. But!! That does not mean I am not messing with bikes, I mean come on its me, can I really not mod, build, paint, or take apart bikes and be sane? yeah I dont think so either. Now I got my self into this mess about a week ago. I happened to be taking a ride the other day through a little town here called Clinton SC, its in the upstate about 3 hours from home, I was just ridding down some street minding my own business when some home owner rolled 2 old Hondas out of his garage. I looked over and through my helmet gave him a half nuts, half pysco look, got to the end of the street and by this time my mind was a wonder wheel of ideas. See i have been looking for old Honda 750's for some time. Most I have come across were nothjing more then a locked up motor on a rusted out frame, but from the quick drive by these bikes looked like runners. Before I reached for the front brake I could see in my minds eye these 2 bikes chopped up, one into a bobber, and one into a chopper. I quickly looked behind me and made my turn. To be honest i dont think I was under the speed limit getting back to his house. I pulled up and went into Joe Cool mode. Took off my helmet and set it on my mirror, Got off the bike and kind of brushed my self off struted up to the bikes. The home owner asked if he could help me I told him that " just admiring your bikes here. He goes on to tell me that the bikes were there when he bought the house a few months ago, and was just now gettign around to getign rid of them. Well my heart started racing, as we talked i asked him what he wanted for them. He goes on to tell me there is no title for either, and he cant legaly sell them cause he is not the owner. I made a phone call to my mommy ( shes a lawyer and knows, besides shes a mom, moms always know) and she told me it is no diffent then buying in an estate sale. File for a title under an abonded vech thing. So im good to go on getting the bikes. I tell the guy that the title issue is not a big deal, and I want them, I want them bad. This is of course after I look them over and they are MINT. He tells me he was going to load them into the back of his truck and haul them to the scrap yard tomorrow just to get rid of them. I almost started to cry, how could you is what I wanted to say, but " well lets make some kind of deal" is what came out. He looked at me and smiled and said ( I knd you not), " ya know im kind of thirsty, a cold coke would be nice", guys almost left a black mark in front of his house trying to get to the store. got him a 16oz cold one, and a 2 liter for later. Of course he laughed at me, but had ot hid it form his wife lol. I called my buddy Claude and talked sweet to his wife so she would let him drive 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon at the drop of the hat. Skip ahead 3 hours and he pulled up with the 24ft enclosed trailer ( thought he would go by my house and get the 8x12 open one, but then i was glad he didnt. We load up the bikes I shake the guys hand and it took all I could to keep from kissing him . I follow Claude to I26 and he takes off like a rocket when he hits the black top. Im doing 85 to 90 just to keep up. Well I dont like goign that fast for that long, and with Sunday evening drivers out there I did not feel safe. I get him to pull over that the next exit and we load my bike up and I hop in the truck. I look at him and say " home Claude" and i am told I was asleep before he even got back on the road. Now he is holding all 3 of them hostage in the trailer untill I do a oil chage on his bike tomorrow afternoon so sorry no pics. I have been all over the net looking up parts and so on for these bikes. Seems i can get a 1200cc big bore stroke kit and all kinds of stuff, frames, pipes, you name it. I guess I am not the only one who loves old 60's and 70s choppers. So someone PLEASE STOP ME im gonna go nuts on these things lol. I even went and got a tig welder today so I can chop up the frame instead of spending 700 on a new frame!!! Now I need ot learn how to tig weld. Ok there I feel a little better but I am like a kid of Christmas eve wanting to open my stuff
