Like this bike?  It was for sale on Craigslist down in LA, but the description was so awesome, so irresistible, that those jerks took it down.  Not to worry, nothing ever goes away on the internet, and some good people saved the text as it was making the internet rounds.  Here is the bike and the ad in all it's glory!
                                                                    Enjoy the ride!


Hey there junior badass, ever feel like there’s a caged animal trapped inside of you?
Only one cure for that: getting a fucking sick motorcycle. A 1971 Honda CB350. This golden lady will get you to work like a full-blown go hard, transport you and your shotgun through the zombie apocalypse, and give you a new platform for barreling down the boulevard with the wind tearing at your clothes screaming, “I AM ALIVE!” on the way to fucking bikram yoga.
Runs like corn through a goose. Engine rebuilt a year ago with ~400 miles on it since then.
I put new tires on the old girl, because you don’t deprive a classy lady of classy shoes. I gave her a new chain because she needed some fucking jewelry.
Electric start, kickstart, fucking push start, you name it.
Why am I selling it? Cos being alive rules, and I’m far too gnarly of a dude to have a motorcycle. I see a ramp, I’m gonna hit that motherfucker going 300 mph, backflip over the 405.
$2300 gets you the Golden Lady, two helmets, some fucking saddlebags, a shop manual, a quart of oil (plus all the oil that’s up in her right now), a full tank of PREMIUM MOTHERFUCKING GASOLINE (91 octaaaaaannneeee), some links to my favorite YouTube videos, a short story about robots, a cup of coffee with me, and whatever kind of donut you want.

    1. It's LA prices. Everything is crazy ( but great) down there.

  2. Great photo and articulate prose. I had a '65 Honda Super Hawk, 305cc, bored out to 350 with a Harmon Collins cam, Barnett clutch and TT pipes. It was the biggest thing Honda made and it spanked a lot of the Brit bikes in town. Thanks for the photo.

    1. Didja do any backflips over the "405," or its equivalent?

  3. Not over the 405 but that was the bike that I flipped over backward and tore the tail light off...
