O.K. here goes my story I have been a bike freak 
for years, ever since I was about 11 and I am 46 now,
and have owned too many  bikes to count.  A friend 
of mine called me over to help him with an engine in 
his car and as I was getting ready to leave I saw 
something over his shoulder he said "Oh thats my neighbor 
cleaning out his garage"  I said "No not that I mean the 
bike" so we go over to talk to the  old guy and he finds 
out my passion for bikes next thing I know I  am loading 
it up in the back of my truck. He gave it to me and said 
that he had been looking for a good home for it.  The bike 
is a 72-74 californian in good shape. It started after 6 
kicks ,after I cleaned everything up. All I need now is a 
card and a clutch cable and a few other parts to dress her 
up. It is amazing  what a weird bike like that will do to you. 
 I have 4 bikes now and my wife is always on me about getting 
rid  of some of them but I just want to keep collecting.
