This week I’m on my own. In this slightly abbreviated solo episode, I talk about finding an ’83 Honda CX650C — an under-rated bike I’ve always wanted — on my local Craigslist, only to discover how quickly the unavailability of parts is hastening this model’s (and some other bikes’) demise. On a brighter note, I went new bike shopping with my wife, and decided some new tech and new styling might suit the two of us.

A few notes:
• The Project Car SOTU article on the CL125S can be found here.
• The Project Car SOTU article on Bultakenstein is available here. There is also a full build thread on Caferacer.net.
• I accidentally published the podcast a day early this week, so iTunes subscribers have probably already listened to it.
• It has come to my attention that the iTunes RSS feed now indicates that all our episodes contain explicit language. I assure you, they do not. There was one four-letter word in one episode. But thanks to Cam, we’ve been eternally branded with the Scarlet “E.” It’s an annoying iTunes thing that can’t be undone, evidently.
