Today, we bought a 1978 Honda CB400A for $200... and boy is it a project!  The plan will be to tear it down and build it back up for My Vixen to ride around being the proper Hooligan she is... :P

So here are some pics









What do you think?  Saltlick has already stepped up with some hints and pics and such.  G has a pretty good idea on what she wants the bike to turn out like (silver tank, black frame, etc)...

This is going to be fun... :)

That thing kicks ass. Shoot, it's got an engine and tires. Throw on some levers and call it good. The rest is personality. 8)

why do I have to be the only negative voice?

I advise against the black frame and silver tank

I did that

and I shouldn't have

pick any color other than silver

unless it has a special meaning or something

Actually she's leaning towards a dark metallic blue for the frame and the "Paul Smart" silver for the tank... with maybe the same blue for pin stripping and such... I think it'll look hawt!  It's not our fault you're color blind and such... <insert taint comment here>   [cheeky]

Oh and mmm... ( . )( . )
