1977 CB400 *AUCTION-ENDED* (Tadpole/AFR Funds)

Since Kris (elapid) had such a brilliant idea with the auction to raise money for a worthy cause me and Lucas have decided to "borrow" the concept and have on offer a 1977(approx) Honda CB400. 1st it was going to be a cafe racer, then it was going to be an oldschool bobber then it was going to be a cafe racer again but so far it's only been a garden gnome. It's pretty rough but almost 100% complete just missing the side cover thingies and 1 mirror is busted so should make a great project basis. Half the money will go to save our AFR and half to the tadpole fund, bidding starts at 83 cents and the auction will run until to 20th.

I just went to upload the pics from my phone and can't find that cord that ya need so i'll get Lucas onto it soon or if anyone is real keen to see it contact me on 0416411274 and i can send an mms.

Happy and generous bidding boys and girls

[Lucas]

Sent the pics through to me and I'll put them up


The new owner: $850.00 to Weaselman


I'll get Ryder to PM you with the details/info on the pick up etc.

[Cruisecontrol]

I've got a set of side covers for it to make it complete.

Awesome!!! Bidding now starts at $1.13

[Tony Nitrous]

Where's the bike ?

Canberra ?

Yup

[Lucas]

Yeah, the bike is in Canberra.

$200

[TurboKat]

How about some details on the bike so I don't hafta go searching for the old thread.

[Lucas]

Ryder will have to answer that for you TK, the bike is at his joint. My understanding is that it was running reasonably well (may need some carbie work) but hasn't been started for some time.

[Gix11]

Again - shear awesomeness! You guys rock.

These little bikes used to go great and they were bullet proof. We used to call the one I knew "4 on the floor" instead of 400/4 as that's where it spent most of it's time.

They polish up great and those original headers come up a treat!

I know this is an earlier model but they can still look like this:

Good on ya Wayne for getting the ball rolling.

[Rocket]

Great work fella's.

[chopaweeza]

While I don't like Honda's I have a soft spot for the 400/4 and 350/4 . Be a shame if I'm the top bidder so hook in and buy the missus a classic or grab a cheap work bike . Good causes both .

[yoda]

i think i just spent all my beer tokens, but will see what i can dig up in the next week or so...

[Weaselman]

$300

[davio]

awww my fave ol jap and im broke,, enjoy boys and gals

There's no old thread to search anyway mate. Bike is in "original condition" and comes with about 15kg of genuine Canberra dirt and road grime which as we all know is amongst the best in Australia so get bidding!!!

[TurboKat]

Thanx Ryder, I was wanting to know stuff like - Is it rideable? Have you ridden it? Does it blow smoke? Does the engine make any noise? Is the gearbox & clutch OK? Are the wheels true? Is there any rust/pitting on the fork staunchions/shock shafts? Do all the electrics work? Are the brakes working or siezed? etc, etc.
Just the basic stuff I need to know if I'm buying a bike really, helps me work out how much $$ I've gotta spend.

[nelpd96]

My wife will probably kill me but put me down for $400. I probably should finish the Daytona but I really want to do a cafe racer.

Paul

[Fight_fan]

$500 right here!

[Elapid]

Good on ya fellas. Good to see so many supporting this.
Kris.

[gixkat]

This particular model was produced between 75 and 77 after that they went to twins, if you have an engine number i can be more specific or check yourself heres reference numbers
75= Engine#: CB400E-1000001 76=Engine#: CB400E-2000001 77=Engine#: CB400E-2100001 it will fall in line with one of these groups
they are great handling little bikes with a couple of simple mods.

This is what I'd pictured for the bike.

Its tops to see the bidding going on. Keep it up and get it looking like this fucker in time for AFR10 and the Bullfrog memorial ride that I can imagine is already being thought up and will be a highlight of the weekend.

[StuNVA]

Can you edit the first post so the highest bid appears up there to save looking through the thread every time ?

[Lucas]

I'll put it up on the second post.

[Weaselman]

600

[Fight_fan]

Nah $700

[Weaselman]

750

[Fight_fan]

$800

When does the bidding actually end boys? Couldn't see it anywhere...

[Weaselman]

850

[Fight_fan]

Dont worry, jst saw it ends on the 20th!

[TurboKat]

I would've really like to buy this bike but seeing as nobody replied to my request for more detailed info, I'll hafta give it a miss.

[Weaselman]

Hey cruise still got those side covers?

[Gix11]

Congratulations Andy, good score mate and thanks heaps for your support (and Lucas and Ryder of course!). I'll look forward to this new build / restore project topic shall I?

[Weaselman]

Awesome! Nice one Andy there's a pm with all my details coming your way mate. Sorry TK things have been hectic and i forgot all about the post you stuck up requesting those details, kicking myself in the arse for that one mate.

BTW i'm psyched to see a Von Daz paint job on this thing, that guy is a master!1!1!!

[Weaselman]

[Gix11]

Sorry to bring it here guys but I have still heard nothing. Any news on the proceeds towards the nominated charities?

[BillyWhizz888]

Anyone know what happened to the donation to the Tadpoles fund?
I caught up with the family today and asked if it had come through...

can someone advise when it will be sent over

OH... 8 weeks to go ;)

[Gix11]

Nothing there either Mel? What's the story lads?

[rock hard]

Lets not forget the reason this trust....

[Jockney Rebel]

ill ask andy when i see him, about it

[Gix11]

Andy gave them the money straight up mate. He's curious as to what happened next himself.

[Jockney Rebel]

k i didnt know the details ..how is ya SI btw

[Gix11]

I'm all good mate, busy, but all good...

[Weaselman]

what nothing has happened?

[Gix11]

Nope, your money seems to have gone straight into Trent's pocket mate. Seems he has made fools of us all by using others misfortune to sell his bike. Unless he can prove us wrong and rectify the situation as I have still not had a reply to any emails. I'll give him a few more days to tell us what he has done with your payment as I know he has logged in today and probably read this.

What about the mobile number in the original post?

[Fight_fan]

Have u tried Lucas? It was 50/50 his wasnt it???

[rock hard]

Dark mood..i thought people were better than this!!!

[Jockney Rebel]

[BANDITROD]

Yep, correct. Lucas didn't see they money from the sale.
Kris.

[Watto]

poor form [V] - karma is a bitch [}:)]

[Hillsy]

Looks like Trent has deleted his ASF account.

Weak as piss.

[Fight_fan]

I spoke to Lucas the other day n he said he's been tryin to get in contact with trent to no avail... Hope some good comes out in the end!

[JackTar]

Um.... why did the money even go to Trent?

[Lucas]

I spoke to Trent on Friday and asked his to contact Si and sort this shit out.

[Gix11]

...and Si heard nothing. Speaks volumes to me.

I only just found out it was Lucas' bike as well and Trent pocketted the money. That's even more fucked.

[Weaselman]

shit really?

bloody hell

[BANDITROD]

fuck this i reckon its time for a good old fashioned lynchn

[Weaselman]

yeehaa

[timbo]

I'll bring the rope and pitch fork

[BANDITROD]

Im stunned. I hope things get sorted out one way or the other.... Karma is going to open a can of whoop arse one day soon.

[rock hard]

thanks lads,fucked his name for a few dollars.hope it was worth it..he obviously never met Jeremy. Bullfrog was the most genuine bloke.he lived for his wife family and mates.thats why the whole Asf community was hit so hard..and why 99% of the people of Asf. dug so deep with support and genuine kindness..

[JackTar]

Hate to flog a dead horse but has anything happened with this yet?

[Cruisecontrol]

http://www.asfphotos.com/upload/1252154744.gif

[Gix11]

Nah mate - nothing. The money is obviously spent and he's fucked off. Its not as if it's suddenly going to appear now is it? I have heard from Lucas as I mentioned and he has tried to get an answer to no avail. I would also suggest Lucas looks for better mates than this one.

Lucas: let them know the story mate.

[Ross_247]

hmmmmm.....cant beleive how this has turned out...

[JackTar]

I have an idea, if anyone is up for a random act of kindness to see if our community can fix something that was caused maybe not by one of us but via our beloved forum. If 43 people transfer $20 each into the ASF account with the subject hansord (no need to put your name on it, it's only 20 bucks) this will cover the amount in its entirety. Think of it this way, you payed $20 to get rid of someone you really don't want here.
I will get the ball rolling by shifting 20 in there now.

[Fight_fan]

Thats a gr8 idea Blowie!

[Gix11]

I'll add to that and change the original causes to just the one - all to Amanda.

[Weaselman]

perhaps i should relist the bike hey?

[JackTar]

I don't think you should mate, you have paid your money.

[Jockney Rebel]

..plus youve done a load of work on it too..youve done yer bit ..now get back to work lol

[Elapid]

Good on ya Blowie.

[rock hard]

you guys are absolutly awesome...in 4 twenty

[pt]

transferred 20. bloody good idea

[Watto]

in

[-Dex-]

Done. Lobster's in the pot. Fuck this guy.

[gibbo]

Ok,I'm in too, but I reckon someone should pay this prick a visit!

[Lucas]

For a bloke that walks around with a pink pram you come up with some good idea's Blowie.

I'm in like Flynn.

[BANDITROD]

im in aswell i reckon we should hang this cunt

[timbo]

so for an extra 5$ do we get his address

[rock hard]

Hey Boys im comfused for a hanging do i still wear the white cassic(the kkk outfit minus the hood)or the chainmail outfit with the leather hood ?

[Jockney Rebel]

kilt, blue make up and a fukin big sword

[sharky]

Thought he was hung,drawn and quatered....now there's an idea...

[ozzy1100]

if this ends up being how it seans, it has 2 be the bestest cunt acts i have been around.
any the boys that know me of here would know im the bloke 2 seatle things down and not into talking like a hard man(wana be )
but i must say like i said, if this ends up how it went down i wouldnt for a heart beat think twice about knocking the dog prick the
fuck out and stomping on his hand so when he comes tho he cant wipe his arse, saying that i think most of us here feel the same and i am again in
ore of the kindness and genu of the members here. as mad as i feel jacktar's idea and coment that $20 is a small price 2 pay the find out hes a rat
is right on the money ......... so im in 2
