2017EX thread got me thinking about this tread again .
and as meticulous as Ferret is on his bikes i do not think i ever checked air pressure at all in the old days.= the rear tire ....
the story behind this CB350 is I ordered it while in Vietnam with permission from Capt Sanderson the CO of the USS Saratoga CV60 to be brought aboard and stored as we combat troops were leaving Vietnam in 1972.
the Marines and Sailors who purchased these bikes in the crate were allowed to assemble them in the hanger bay 3 days before we arrived in Mayport [ Jacksonville ] Florida but we could not put oil or gas in them until rolled off the ship. I oiled and gassed it up then rode it to Camp Lejeune NC with nothing but a statement of origin . Was so good to be back home , on two wheels and the air in the US smelled so different.
