First one of the 836 in 2009 , dabbling in drag racing , and I was Very healthy weighing in at 170. Next one with my Step Grand daughter , Sept. 2012 , stock spare motor and I'm tipping the scales at about 230 ! Steroids, but not the kind body builders use , but the anti imflamitory crap for my lungs ! But I'm still breathing !
Found this bike in completely stock condition in Feb. 08. Paid over twice what my new one cost 30 years ago. Am trying to re-create the look of the late 70's Drag Bike styling.More later. 4-2-10 It ain't stock any more and I have no idea what I am trying to create !

I posed this picture for Fostyboy so he can see what he will look like when the beard goes white and the hairline recedes.
Bob

Don't worry Bob, the hairline is on the way. It's working it's way not only from the front, but the crown as well.  ::)
Smart looking machine by the way.  ;)

[Edit] I just visited your project page Bob, fabulous job. One of the videos took me to your Photobucket album & I found this pic. Hope you don't mind. I can see now why ya hair turned white.  ;) Maybe I should call you Bluey? How many years ago was this?


Cheers, Owen.

How tall are you Andy? I"ll guess around 6'5 or so. You don't have any trouble touching flat foot on your 750 do you ;D Being tall how does the CB 750 fit you. It must fit you pretty good with all the 1000's of miles of asphalt you've covered over the years.

The Elsinore series of Moto and enduro bikes from Honda were all two stroke machines.Those early MXer's are pretty collectible now. That bike looks like an XL250 which is a 4 stroker.

 Frostyboy: That was a desert race about '73 or '74 and that is an XL250 with a lot of mods. The beard color sure has changed over the years along with the waistline. I don't smoke anymore either.

I am 6`4 and no trouble flat footing anything :) The CB750 fits just fine and yes after 1000s of miles it has certainly been a good fit. Thanks.

Here is me on the K2



and on the K4 in the Italian Alps (where everything else looks small)
