parts car is gone, new project in it's place
 

My wife made me get rid of the parts car. I still have a few things that I pulled off (I will update the FS thread).

The wife was a little mad because I added this project to my junk collection:

1971 Honda CB 175
I don't know if I am going to keep it. It needs a lot of work and I have never worked on a motorcycle before. I am in the process of getting the title for it. The bike hasn't been registered since 1991!

looks nice. Is she mad because you got another project, or a motorcycle?
anyway, imo, I wouldn't keep it unless you want a learner bike, or don't commute far for work. 175 is a little on the small side for me, due to low power, size and the fact I work 30 minutes from my house :/

but it sure looks like a lot of fun!

Holy Crap. This was a flash back for me. My Dad had two of these that I used to sit on and pretend I was riding, lol. I was like 5 or something. He bought a pair with intent to combine them, never panned out though...life got in the way.

Anyhoo, nice find. Looks to be in decent shape.

My work is 1.5 miles away, with a maximum speed limit of 25 mph. I live up on a hill (too steep to walk or ride a bicycle), so it would work for me if I want to keep it. I actually would rather have a Ruckus or something, but those are like $1500. This one isn't running right now and has no title. :(

The wife was mad because I got the bike while I still had the parts car in the back yard.

Plus:
1) I kept the interior, exhaust and two tubs of stuff from the parts car
2) I helped someone fix a truck in my driveway last week
3) The garage has four sets of wheels and tires stacked up in it
4) I left my air compressor in front of our garage fridge the other day
5) we are supposed to have a yard sale on July 4th and my crap is in the way!

haha

That bike looks to be in good shape man.. Fix it, get a title maybe make a few bucks?

That red Max was your project and now you got rid of it? Wow what a shame she was such a cherry but I guess too much mulla to keep her. I'm very fortunate cause wifey thinks its great that I have positive outlets in my life like working on my project car's, yes I have 2 autos I'm hooking up. I have my 89'GXE and my 96'Volvo 850 GLT. Both are in very good condition and run good, plus I got excellent deals on them , especially the 850. Your Max looked great, I would of never sold that.

the bike needs moar Vtec :hide:

you should stick a huge CF wing on the back and put a Type R sticker on it :lol:

No, I still have my red Maxima. I bought a black one to part out and it was in my back yard for a couple of months. The motorcycle is now in that space. She was mad that I had both the black Maxima (parting it out was my "project") and the bike.

urrenty, I have 3 cars total -- Red Maxima, Infiniti FX35 and a GMC diesel 4x4 + the motorcycle.

Oh alright good to hear, your red Max is a beaut. Well good luck with moto project.

I remember em. IIRC it right, crank starting could be a little tricky.

Nice bike, fix it and sell it man! I had a similar Suzuki 100 trailbike maybe a 1976 model fun for on road and offroad.....It's not alot to a bike check it for fuel , air and spark.....more than likely a magneto problem good luck......Oh by the way.....That's what wives do...Complain about the things we do to stay at home and not chase OPP!!!!!

Bike sold. Full asking price, even though it didn't have a title.

The ignition wires were disconnected and it needed a battery and the tank cleaned. It still needs TLC and the guy that bought it plans to take it all apart and restore it. I am glad it went to a good home. He was happy as a clam to take it off my hands.
