After a few months of belonging to the other site I decided the more the merrier. I started out buying a CB900 4 years ago that had sat for 15 years with only 2600 miles on it. Best way was to buy a parts bike and sell off what I didn't need. Paid for my bikes. Ended up being a addiction as I am like a Mini-Louis with selling parts for 750-1000 Customs. I finally got my hands on a 1980 CBX with 11K on it 2 months ago. It runs but needs some TLC as it has been sitting since 85. About 3 weeks ago picked up a 1979 Red X that was in a estate collection. This one was rougher and in the process of evalutating everything. A few days before I bought the 79 I had looked at a 81 that had been down and only had 4300 miles on it. Guy wanted $3K and glad I didn't buy it. The day after I bought the 79 he texted me make a offer as he wants it gone. Running out of money fast as you can imagine I had to get my brother in law to go in and bought it for $1500. Don't be afraid to call on those Craigslist ads with no pictures. People just pass them buy but it helps talking down the price. So I am now owner of 2.5 CBX's which is pretty muched booked me up for the winter. My BIL and I are working out a deal to have him buy me out so he can have it. I am going to be more of a pain then a help to anyone so Thank You in advance.
