Thanx Stev-O, I detail ya while its still clean and Im still proud.....

Big bore 836 Wiseco with a 41A grind WebCam

Color of the frame is a mixture of 3 blues of unknown origins that create a decently dark blue, and the tank & covers is a mixture of a Ford blue metallic with a little Chameleon for flare. A little too purple at the right angles but #$%*in blue on an overcast day.

Not a single ebay item, and 98% was done by me. 1% to my brother spraying paint, and 1% hired out for the bore punchin..............Oh also-----Thankyou to HondaMans knowledge gained from his CB750 book.

Looks bad there, doesn't it?!  Problem is that is is chromed, maybe I'll just replace both with painted?

Hey I wanna nominate Boats 750 for BOTM....did you start the thread yet?

Nope but will have to.  I usually try and wait for the winner to do thier thing on the thread.

I hope that it was not chromed after it was bent.  I wonder if you bend it back if it will crack the chrome or something.

Just curious on how often you guys really ride. I do about once a week, including today...



If its not raining,I'm riding! This year in the Hoosier has been good for that. I work 5 days a week, no weekends. I hardly ever get a chance to ride on the weekends, I try to spend as much time with my wife and kids on the weekends. I work a TON of hours.

Last ride was yesterday.

Bike is finally inspected.

105 miles since a tool has touched the bike (not in one trip, over a months time).

Just pull her out of the garage, fire her up, and go. No fuss, no muss.

I can actually ride out somewhere and ride back home without any major drama.

It's been years since I have been able to do this.

Don't care about the other problems with the bike, I'm having too much fun.

I may go through a tank of gas this year. :D

A big thank you to this site, I was ready to burn it.

Was going to start a thread thanking everyone here, but found this and decided to post here.

Wednesday actually. Working on house roof in my spare time and it is hard to haul supplies on a bike :)
But I am with Shark. She is in a groove, just start and ride.  No problems, temper, issues - I wonder if I just jinxed it :)

Thank you guys for help and support and for answering my dumb questions.

Just parked it about an hour ago. I ride to work when it's above 40 F and 30% or less chance of rain.

 I run through two or more tanks of gas a week.

Yanno, it finally clicked or clique'd or however you want to spell it.  I fit right smack dab into the first choice never have and I bought a basket case.  I have been a poser but I did that to get laid!

 Getting laid makes me want to ride more.
 Its more fun when the woman that shared the experience with me wants to go for a bike ride.
