1973 Honda Cl on 2040-motos

Sit back, it's a long story.  In 1972 I bought the exact twin of this motorcycle with a coffee can full of quarters I saved from mowing lawns ($719).  After driving it 28,000 miles in one summer, my dear and loving brother stole it and totaled it out.  I searched for years to find another (these are rare because this color was only offered for a half year).  I found one in Pittsburg and bought it.  This bike has not been started since 1974 and has been in storage inside my house since I bought it.  The engine turns freely but the bike is in dire need of a good polishing.  Has minor rust on rear view mirror stems and turn signal stems and has a dime sized dent in the gas tank (why is it you can never buy an older bike on ebay without a dent in the tank???)  The high pipe exhaust has ZERO rust, and those alone are worth a chunk of money.  To get it running, the tank is going to have to be cleaned and lined, new fuel petcock, battery, and flush out the oil (that oil has been in there since 1974).  Carb slides work good and the carbs probably don't need much work, if any.  It was parked without gas in the carbs but still had gas in the tank.  NOW AS FAR AS THE TITLE GOES.  I bought this bike as a collector and made no attempt to start or ride it.  When I was given the original title, I wanted to display it with the bike so I never sent it off to the state.  It remains signed over to me but has not been titled in my name.  I will give the original title and a bill of sale to the buyer, but since there has not been any title activity on the bike for 43 years, it would probably be easier to get another title through one of the many title companies you see here on ebay.  You can pay the tax on the title I have and then I sign it over to you, but it would be MUCH cheaper just to get another title.  Your call.  Now, why am I selling the love of my life that I have cherished for over 15 years and that it took me years of searching to find??  Let me see how I can put this---EX-Wives suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Bike is for sale as/is where/is with no warranty.  I can assist with shipping by delivering it to your door for $0.45 a mile one way.  You will need to pay for the shipping up front and for the bike on delivery.  If I deliver it and you decide you don't want it, no hard feelings and I won't insist you buy the bike, but I cannot refund your shipping fees.  Otherwise, shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  So please don't bid unless you really want it.  An antique bike this clean, once you get it polished and running, should sell for THOUSANDS.
