CB750K5

        I found this bike while driving my daughter to school one day, this past April 2001.  It had a beat up windshield and a price of $400 taped to it, and only 17,000 original miles!!  I limped it home on two cylinders, and gave the once over last summer.  The guy gave me 100 bucks off, 'cause he thought it had a serious oil leak.  It turned out, the chain oiler was adjusted full open, so it made quite a mess.  I have the engine out right now and have replaced the cylinder block, along with new rings, valve seals, etc.  The previous cylinders had some badly damaged fins.  Anyhow, I'm riding it from Toronto to Key West in June 2002, and hooking up with my brother in N.C.
