BIKES & PARTS WANTED / CB350 parts

« on: June 16, 2025, 07:46:22 PM »

Looking for some ugly parts, signal lights, headlight brackets and such for an early 70s 350 twin. I?m building it for my granddaughter and she gets the good parts after she gets her license. Then I hope she wants to help grandpa put the pretty stuff back on.
Thanks, Bob

What sizes, I have a jacket or two I can get rid of and a gently used modular helmet. Might part company with a decent pair of pants too.

Wishing you all the best Steve, warmed up to-20 here today with blowing snow. About all I’m doing that is motorcycle related now is dreaming and watching YouTube videos about riding.

In a sealed package even, except the sealed package is starting to leak a bit of the grease. If you come get it it’s yours.

If there’s room for me to set up my tarp I’ll be there Saturday. Probably stop and have a beer with Stu on the way into town if someone wants to meet me there.

General Discussion / Beverage with Stu

« on: June 16, 2022, 07:57:24 AM »

I plan to have a beer with Stu on Saturday on my way to Prince George. I can’t leave Smithers until noon at the earliest so it’s going to be late afternoon or early evening, I happen to be on a road trip so time and schedule are just simply guidelines. If anyone is interested please text me your number and I’ll let you know when I leave Vanderhoof. I plan to stop anyway so I’ll be there for a beer time.

I was hoping to take that route if the weather would cooperate, the last time was June 24th of 2019 and it snowed. Didn’t get to see much so wanted to do it again on a nicer day. If your forecast is accurate I might just turn right at Tete Jaune Cache and try for nicer weather. I’m okay down to about freezing but I don’t care for snow so I’ll just wait and see. Here’s hoping your forecast is wrong.

I’m going to be on the road the following week with no particular agenda except for a few places I would like to ride to so if I’m in the same general area it would be great to see you guys. Any idea who all is going?

Already staring to look full, you’re going to need a lean to on the end for any of the extra stuff. Other than that it’s looking good.

BIKES & PARTS FOR SALE / 1981 Silverwings

« on: April 19, 2022, 10:10:17 AM »

1981 Silverwings
A friend of a friend has a couple of GL 500 Silverwings she wants out of the shed. Husband died two years ago and he never got around to getting the GLs  running because he bought a new Goldwing in 07 and just rode it instead of getting the other ones going. I sure can relate. The clock on one is 70803km, contact me and I’ll get you in touch with the widow. Mostly she just wants them out of the shed so a few bucks and some travel and loading would be a great road bike eligible for collectors plates. I have a couple photos but they aren’t favourable to what might be there. I’m pretty sure paperwork is there but you might need to look through the luggage to find it. She’s also selling the 07 wing, should be on the buy and sell.
I’ll help load if needed and I can make it work, I’ll pass on her number if you’re interested.
Bob
