Picking up a 75 Honda CB 500 this week. All it needs is the points set, some brake fluid and gasoline! Pretty damn excited, as it will be my first bike.

Okay, not sure if this thread means motorcycles too but I'm going to throw this out here and if anyone has
any feedback please chime in…

On Sunday I'm getting a 1953 ( give or take a year ) AJS 350cc from a old friend for $300.00USD. It's been sitting
in her garage for 20+ years and belonged to her uncle who bought it back in the 70's from someone in
England. Does anyone know if they make parts for this bike anymore or if it's even worth trying to rebuild?
Good investment? Coffee table? Or pig in a poke...

Caller, you're on the air...

[Giles]

A complete heap of shit. But I'll take it off your hands if you like

Seriously, what a great buy.  I'd definitely try and get it sorted if I was you.  I can help with parts if you like:

Nice find that AJS.  My first bike was 1950 AJS 16MS, which is about the same bike you're getting.

You can get parts from England, and possibly also there are suppliers in States also. (Matchless is same bike, different name)
