Hard to imagine it was 52 years ago that I dragged my dad to Park Porsche in Lawrence Mass. to co-sign the loan for this car..
I was 18 and actually wanted a 750 Honda. My parents weren't impressed and said... Go Buy a NIce Car.. And here we are.... It was a lifetime ago.... Haven't touched it for a long time.. But it is still out in the garage...  |

I had a similar story back in 1971 and also wanted a 750 Honda but needed up with a 57 Checy truck , later on I did get my motorcycle but it was a 900 Kawasaki .

Funny I had a new 1970 CB750 in high school. In 1970 it was $1,440. out the door. I was in 11th grade. |
