Hey, I’m very excited to tell everyone here that I got the bike for in my opinion an alright price. $1300 dollars. A bit high but I got a lot of gear with the bike and a helmet.So my plan was to put it on the back of a truck and take it with me to Oregon. Instead, I’m riding it. Ive never gone long distance on a bike and didn’t know how everyone always was complaining until I drove it for about 400 miles. My whole body is sour. So I’m driving from Pensacola Florida to Oregon on this old bike I just bought and don’t know any history or how well it works, what could go wrong?A lot of things! This bike rattled and all the screws come out. I’ve lost one mirror and almost a second one.One the freeway the bike started popping(backfire) and loss of power. I checked the oil- completely dry?!?!? Put a quart in and the level is back to normal.Second and third gear going slow theres a weird scraping noise, I think this is bad.On the plus side! It’s still running and I haven’t been robbed yet! Having a coffee and making a plan on how to handle the situation now. via /r/CafeRacers https://www.reddit.com/r/CafeRacers/comments/8vm6sg/1975_cb5500_update/?utm_source=ifttt
