Newbie, South Burnett Queensland.
« on: January 06, 2013, 08:04:05 PM »
Hi to everyone, just a little Intro from, yes that's right another Queenslander.
Currently Drag Race a 72 CB750/4. which my Father owned back in the early 80's.
Yes that's right has been in the family all that time. Anyway as far as my Knowledge
recalls the 750/4 motor is still stock & getting a bit tired now & hasn't had a rebuild in
the time it's been in the Family & still runs a 14.1 quarter mile with my 172 lb build.
I will rebuild the old girl one day soon & she will get the 836 treatment, or maybe
bigger. Have other projects to build as well which include a Suzuki Waterbottle
which also belong to my Father.  Also have a Suzuki T500 project to turn
into a Smokin Dragger. I have two Son's that Drag Race too, that have a few
projects of there own, so I am one busy Old Man & Lovin it.
Cheers from Pedro 64. & the Smith Boys Racing Team..
