I have been trolling this site for a couple weeks now and just now realized I haven't formally introduced myself.

My name is Chase and I've lived and breathed old motorcycles (and cars) most of my life (29yrs old). My first two bikes, bought as a package deal for $400 were a 74 cb125s with 300 miles and a 78 CB750F with 7k miles. I bought them when i was 14 and brought them back to life. I've ridden the 750 the last 13 years or so and will be restoring it. I have a parts 750f that is mostly complete that I intend to cafe after reading Tweakin's latest build ad nauseum. I've also picked up...a few others :-D

List:
78 CB750F
78 CB750F parts-ish bike
77 CB750A (all original, factory and untouched with 8k miles)
74 125S (all factory original with 3k miles)
76 GL1000
75 GL1000 (getting cafe'd)
72 Kawasaki H2
81 KZ1100
95 Suzuki Intruder (i've extremely built up...dyno'd at 120hp off bottle)
88 Virago 250 rat bike

I also have a 66 Mustang Coupe  and a 69 Triumph Spitfire.

At any rate feel free to drop me a line for anything! I'm on here virtually every other day checking out what fun and exciting stuff is going on.

Thanks! It used to be a lot worse...i had a fleet of Kawasaki's several years ago but decided they didn't handle as well as the Honda's. I had a KZ1000, a couple kz650's and a Z1. They were fast in a straight line but corners were not cool. Couple that with a lack of funds lead me to sell them all and keep my hondas.

The 750F's have a great balance of both power and cornering.
