Well, after two major quakes (7.1 & 6.3), we're always expecting one now.
We had a 5.1 jolt last night which was a biggy.

 

Maybe I should just lay the bikes down each night when I go to bed, eh?
Think of all the exercise I'd have righting them each morning.   No body
would be kicking sand in my face at the beach after that!

Dennis, are you expecting another earthquake?  Graham

Bernie,

 

Can you describe the right way?  I'm 6 foot and 185 pounds and generally
pretty strong for being 63 but I'm finding my CB700SC a bit hard to pick up
if it's over.

 

Thanks,

I don't care about cosmetics.
The tires, battery & turn signal are what need replaced for inspection.
Everything else is clean.
I think I'm going to pass on it.
The main reason is I don't have anywhere flat to park.
I can already picture it falling over, breaking off the turn signals &
levers.
Then having to find someone to help pick it up.

Well all the things your mentioned are mostly cosmetic. How is the
mechanical shape of the bike? We all know that 24K miles is nothing for
these bikes. I think if engine, transmission and suspension (including
forks) are fine, then it might be a good deal. How much do you need to make
it road ready, except the paint?

Overall it was in decent shape, compared to my war torn 550
had a sissy bar/rack 

Kelly Blue book is $1765

The negatives:  

 The tank has a small ding & about a 5" faded eagle sticker on the top.
 Needs tires & battery
 Rattle-can painted fenders & side plates.
 Torn seat
 A broken rear turn-signal stem
 broken mirror.

Not sure what they weigh, but it seemed a lot heavier than my 550.  

Was wondering if it would be worth the investment.   
I don't see myself getting a car anytime soon with increasing gas prices.

I figure a newer/larger model would be less fatigue on long trips.
