No title "due to age." Right. Even I have a birth certificate, and I'm damn near salvage.

Finally completely done with the restore. Just got the tank back from paint,

I got this bike on trade recently and thought it might be of interest to someone here for a wives bike or entry rider. 2004 CB600F (naked bike). Yellow in color - 8k original miles. All stock (well - after market front signals and a hand chopped mud flap out back) and damn near flawless with recent/new-ish rubber. Clean title etc. Asking $2999 at the shop but if someone from here wanted it I'd make a deal in the $2k ish range. Idk why - its just strikes me as too nice for a local squid to stunt it Edit: Pics to follow and located at my store in Idaho Falls ID

Sold it to a 70 year old guy in Utah with 25 bikes in a 10 car garage lol

Just thought I'd share a little. I shared here about how I had major shoulder surgery in December after nearly a year of hard pushing to lose weight and tone up in 2022. I knew when I came out of surgery I was gonna struggle - even the motion of walking on a treadmill was painful. And I ate like 2 year old out of boredom and seeking comfort I suppose. I made myself stay in the habit of going to the gym - even if all I could do was walk the track. About a month in I was doing some seriously low weight lifting - avoiding motions that hurt or my PT said to avoid. By Feb I was in the gym 5 days a week again. Being thoughtful but pushing where I could. My PT basically let me go for a month until the 16 week check up with the surgeon because I was so far ahead of the curve with ROM and strength. I had begun cleaning up my diet in January and have been pretty focused for Feb and March. My 16 week check up was great and I'm cleared to push harder and ride the motorcycle etc. I had a full body assessment done 12/2 - surgery was 12/5. Just did another one yesterday to establish a baseline for spring. Wasnt expecting much - figured I'd gone backwards a bit if anything. Not so much. Since my operation my body fat percentage went down 1.5% and I've gained a solid 5lbs muscle. I'm freaking over the moon and motivated to attack this year. For reference I was 33% body fat Feb of 22 and I'm 22% now.

Just wanted to say thanks to the forum, for providing me the level of detail I needed to get my Bird back up and running. bought her as a non runner, with the ebay seller telling me it had been dropped static, and on restart, the throttle stuck open long story short, i found the rh bar slightly bent preventing the throttle closing, I also found a level of strip under the tank, and used the forum info to reconnect the fuel and vacuum lines successfully. she ran up perfik last night, albeit I had changed the plugs and air filter while i was under the tank Oil change next! Bird is the word!!

Might not be a big deal to some of you.. or any lol. But: im 48. I have never in my life had upper body strength. Legs and stamina I got - but even when I was swimming alot I had no strength. When I really started pushing myself a year ago one of my goals was to be able to do a chin up/pull up. Even in my best days in the military I couldnt do this. I had been working towards this with certain exercises but hadnt made an attempt in nearly two months. Monday I was at a play ground with my 10 year old and on a whim tried it hanging off the damn monkey bars… and I did it! Cold - in street clothes. So today Im back in the gym. Warmed up a bit and then grabbed the bar - banged out 3 good ones in a row. Relaxed for a minute and them banged out 3 more. Flat foot, full stretch chin ups. First time in my whole damn life.
