I remember you mentioned you "secretly" replaced the chassis. Didn't know you rolled the car, though. I did't have a roll bar when I rolled my first Miata.
Yep
That's scary I know someone who rolled an ND and had skull/spinal fractures.
Yep, elderly asian fellow. At least his insurance paid for damages.
It was easier just to stay with a miata, honestly.
Most of these photos seem old. For as long as the car has been available to the public, people have been rolling them and roll bars have been there to protect us.

Damn, glad the rollbar did it's job. And I guess that CRV really wanted to merge?
WOW! Glad you are ok, and also glad that you decided to stay in the miata game. I've seen people part out and get something else for something way less serious than this.

Really glad you are alright and moving forward despite another car accident. A beautiful roadster that just keeps getting better all the time!

Finally cut up and installed a plastic steering column panel I had imported a long time ago. Glad to be rid of the heavy metal piece and have one texture of plastic flow from left to right.
And, I bought a 2nd toy

Yep! I think the U.S. was the only one to get metal, due to crash testing and knees colliding with steering column or something. With shipping, mine was $27 from Japan.
Thanks, 72' CL350. Although that might be a K tank? Not sure if the CL came with knee pads originally.
At this point so many bikes have had parts swapped it can be difficult to tell exactly what bike it is without looking at the frame and engine serial numbers. To my knowledge, only the first year CB350K0 models came from the factory with rubber tank pads. All subsequent model year CB350, all CL350 and SL350 did not have them. People like the CL high pipes so I see them on CBs all the time. If the rubber tank pads are just stuck on with adhesive then chances are they're aftermarket. The K0 tanks have special frames to hold the factory rubber pads. Without seeing your bike up close, I can't tell if your bike has an original tank with rubber pads added, or if it is an early CB350K0 tank that's been repainted.
So is your bike a race bike? Or a street bike? I see side number plates but also a headlamp. I know AHRMA Novice History Production Lightweight class bikes look pretty much like yours. The rules allow you to keep the headlamp but you've got to put tape over it before you cover it with your front number plate. Let me know if you have any questions as I've thought a lot about them as I've slowly turned my street bike into a F250/ V1 style race bike.
