Craigslist "funnies"

[loud et]

It would be nice if you all would start taking the few extra moments to download the picture of these bikes to your photo bucket (or whatever you use) and posting it here along with the "copy /pasted" Craigslist ad.
If you only "share" the link it disappears when the ad expires.
I went back 40 pages (that's 400 comments and laughable bike listings shared ) and there are maybe 10 pictures of these bikes. All the comments are pointless if there are no pics to go see what the joke is.
You know what I'm sayin Steve

Looks like someone went crazy with the powdercoat gun!

It takes even fewer moments than that, Adam.

No need to load it into Photobucket.

Right-click on the picture, paste it on GSR.

Oh, yeah, ... you need to change your display settings.
400 posts only requires TEN pages, not 40.

Wouldn't "completely restored" mean that it was in a stock form but in the condition it would have been new?????

It's not so bad really. Those two shades of green compliment each other I think.

It is a CB750 which is a four stroke, so ??? why does it have an oil tank??? Maybe I missed something back in the 70's I was 9 yrs old after all.................

Dry sump engines have a separate oil tank.

Well, there ya' are, I didn't know the CB was a dry sump engine. Learned something.

A small number of CB750 were wet. I believe it was mainly the A or Hondamatic type. I don't know if the A ever sold much in Europe. The odd time one pops up here and it's invariably a US import and usually the smaller capacity 400.

That was the one I had in mind and a Vincent or two.

Don't know. There are probably a few still doing it and I seem to recall someone putting fuel in there as well as oil.

I recall a sales pitch along the lines that it would help you spot a cracked frame tube earlier.

Buell was putting fuel in the frame and oil in the swingarm.

My MuZ/MZ Baghira is an oil-in-frame design.

Oh that is MUCH better... Thank you...

Every bike I've had has ended up with an oily frame one way or other.
