6 years ago I had a big clear-out & got rid of 16 bikes, now, somehow there're  'growing' again, up to 9 again, just got this 53 year old Honda dream to strip & rebuild, new stainless rims & spokes on the way, & lotsa stuff to do, & the workshops are filling up once again!
I DO have to grow old, I DO NOT have to grow up.

Old bloke came up to us to admire the 14 at the weekend. He told me he's got a bike, a Harley, owned it since 1958 he says proudly.
So before I was born then !!  :worshippy:

CA72, I have one myself. Hope you have the seat for it parts are hard to get, most available from USA but they are asking big dollars.

As a matter of interest Elvis had one of these in his collection at Gracelands. He also crashed a CB72 through a fence in a movie, I can't remember the name of it. I named the one I have Elvis even though I'm not a great fan of him.
I also remember Maurice Bradshaw Motorcycles in Belfast having one one display back early 80's, he told me Honda offered him an exchange for a brand new bike, he refused, he was a Suzuki dealer.
It did have a similar machine in the past as a winter commuter bike the trusty old CD175.
