Man if that guy didn't sell that bike I'm going to be heartbroken for you.
Rick, at $4500, I probably wouldn't have told her in advance. She'd have just gotten a "big transaction" alert from the bank and a selfie.
We go into his large well-equipped cabinetry shop and there she is. Sitting quietly in the dimly lit garage. Me = grinning idiot. It's real and gorgeous.
My wife and I were talking a few weeks ago about my RVF. She'd been under the impression that I was going to paint my CF Tyga bodywork with the stock livery, and was surprised when I said I was going to stick with the Edwards/Rossi CABIN scheme. My bike is... uh, modified. A bit. I have weird ideas about what's important to keep stock (for example, the mud guard) and what's not (the subframe), but my bike is definitely not ever going to represent Soichiro's original product. Anyway, we got to talking about it, and I mentioned that these days the only bike I actually desire is... another RVF. I've got a couple of VFRs and a Hawk GT but what I really want is a 100% original RVF400 to sit alongside my modified toy. She told me that if I ever saw one for sale with a plate, it would be something she'd have a hard time trying to talk me out of, at basically any price.

WTF?? Japanese porn wrapped in Hitchcock suspense!
Sorry to be dragging this out but I find the search half the fun esp. since I had been searching for so long and to randomly stumble upon a CA registered one so local, it was meant to be.

As an interesting premonition or hallucination, on a stack of bibles I swear I saw an NC35 flash by in rush hour traffic two days before I bought mine: 4/13/17 Palo Alto on El Camino near Arastradero, 5pm, southbound. What are the odds.
Waiting for Marc's permission to post pics.
That was probably me. I commute on El Camino sometimes from Palo Alto.
:laughing Wazoo, that's funny. Just yesterday my wife grilled grilled me about a "surprise" $18 bookstore purchase she saw on the bank statement. Nothing gets by her.
She was probably just wondering what kind of a man she married buying stuff from a bookstore.
