that's a 500 or 550 hiding back there tank is too rounded for a 750 and paint is wrong.

Only a CB550, alas. It's the second one I've owned --- bought it with a brown tank that was pinholed beyond repair. The green tank is a NOS piece with a big dent in it from a Toronto dealer. Forty years ago, somebody toppled a CB550 on the showroom floor and dented the tank... so they put a new one on and tossed the old one into storage.

Funny thing is that the CB550 is a physically larger bike than its descendant. Or it feels that way anyway!

The 911 is just a 993 Carrera 2. I've had it for 15 years now, it's in semi-storage for my son when he's old enough to drive it.

It's possible. A few weeks ago when I channeled the spirit of Ferret, I got 58 mpg. I filled up at 165 miles and only put in 2.85 gallons. I could've made 180 easy. Of course that was back road riding between 50 -60 mph. That would never happen on the slab at 75 mph.

I love the 993......

Nice way to get aboard, Jack. Welcome.

Welcome to the forum. The road comet will make highway runs tolerable. Enjoy your automotive site. Too bad there isn't a TTAM version.
