RE: Unassembled CB500
Life saving pipes...most likely Harley riders approaching. This could still work out he speculated. Perhaps Harley riders would not be so interested in a box with "HONDA" on it. They could just pass on by. He decided to keep the van parked in the shadows and see what transpired.

Late one evening this bloke was driving his van past a deserted Norwegian police station and there was a large box sitting on the pavement outside. The first flakes of the winter's snow were landing softly on it and beginning to obscure the large, red word, HONDA, painted on the box. Worried for a moment ...

There was frantic activity inside the station. Police tumbled out of every door and piled into their cars in time for the the grumble of Harleys to roll past. Lights flashing, sirens wailing, the cops took off in pursuit.

This would be the break he needed. BY the time the cops chased the bikers down and checked their lic, reg, proof of insurance and for any outstanding warrants, he would have all the time he needed.

RE: Unassembled CB500
OK, enough of parking in the shadows. He started the van and approached the box with the big red "HONDA" on it. He got out and inspected the box. Whew boy!, much to to heavy to lift into the van by himself. Well he thought, I'll just open it and take a peek inside. Let's see...

Wow! What a beautiful, white thing it was! It was love at first sight. He remembered suddenly that the van had one of those nifty lifting ramps at the back and he could see a removalist's trolley at the side of the station.
