I'm still 'finishing up' a 1972 Honda 500-Four. I had bought one brand new back in '72, but had transmission problems [lockups] that the dealer refused to fix, so I sold it. I've always felt I had unfinished business with it, so I gathered several CB550's and an original 500-Four without the trans problems and have been slowly 'restoring' that ever since 2004. It's sitting in my living room. Kind of a reminder.

In the meantime, if I feel I really have to ride, I have the '72 CL450 Scrambler. They're not as old as the lawn mower, but they're gettin' there...
