C is the only choice. Now, I wouldn't mind having B in the garage
Hey, this is just where I'm at now! A classic in the geeraj, and a gravel chuckin' asphalt eater in the driveway! I'd love a dozen of each.

Just one, huh? Can't do it.
I'm working on 'B'. Might even start her this weekend.
Most of the important parts of 'C' are in a pile in my garage.
If somebody gave me 'A', I'd sell it, finish B&C, and ride both.....

 Your Poll
C, but at -20f there is not much riding going on. But there is always the FL trip.

From the 1970's ways;
C is THE only answer.
If you don't build it, you don't belong on it!

Hi All,
Dale here. I vote B. I would love to have a fully restored 1974 CB750 like the one I own only in perfect condition.

in all cases A should be the answer, because once sold you could buy a few of B and build a few of C . it makes sense .

 "C"
I just turned 60 last Sept. and am chopping a '70 Triumph TR6R. This is my first time at this and so far it's taken me 1-1/2 years of off & on work (I do have other things to get done - haha).
When I was 25 (or so), I had a '62 Triumph something and loved it. Now I am building what I've always wanted - my OWN chopper!
Sure, it would be nice to have a fancy-smanchy bike with all the bells and whistles - go ahead and buy it - but not for me. When my bike is done (this summer I hope), I can tell everyone - I BUILT IT MYSELF!!

it would make sense to sell the $30000 bike to build a few top notch trumpets.
