When you've already got 4 bikes that are runners, plus another 3 or 4 non-runners, it's hard enough to justify to yourself, let alone to the wife. There's also the question of storage space...

The non-runners are a 1965 Honda CB72 250cc (that I really should sell), and 1966 Honda CB77 305cc that I have no intention of selling and will restore one day, a 1980 Yamaha RD350LC that I've owned from new but which is now in several pieces and which will also get restored one day, and a KTM 640 Supermotard that won't need a huge amount doing to make it a runner, but is currently in France.
The obvious one to get rid of is the CB72; I only bought it as spares for the CB77 anyway. Perhaps the Classic Bike show in Stafford...?
