    Hesitation, it'll bite ya in the ass every time...

    Just went over to my local shop to try to pick up an old TS185 they've had for a while for $350 to use as a cafe project base. They sold it on Saturday for $200, still ran good, good condition, etc. Damnit!! Shoulda bought it last week...

    The search continues...

    It was a sign that it wasn't meant to be.

    There are plenty of fish out there. I'm sure you'll find the right one sometime.

    Yeah, there is no shortage of cheap old bikes that are potential cafe donors. I liked the condition of this one for the price, and liked that it was a single cylinder as it'd be easy for me to work on. Not the end of the world, I'll find another.

    I have a friend iN Epping who has an old (early 70s) Honda CB 350 (might be a CL...I know 2 people with them, one's a CL and one's a CB...) that doesn't run ATM. I can let him know you're looking if you'd like, I'm sure he wouldn't mind the cash....

    I'm not sure if I want to get into a multi-cylinder bike that doesn't run. My mechanical abilities on 4 strokes, especially multi-cylinders, is pretty inexperienced. Do you know if it ran when parked? I'll run it by 6 fingers, he does a lot of my work and taught me a lot of what I know.

    Appreciate the heads up!

    Yes I will do the work, as long as it is not at my house for a year like the 750.... Or we do it at your house. I would love it around but don't want to get divorced when another of your bikes shows up at my house.

    Lets build another old Honda

    The 50 is already Doc's, and I'm seeing what I can do about making the 550 mine
