Hello from Montreal, Canada
« on: January 23, 2013, 05:20:55 PM »
Having recently purchased my 1977 CB750K and reading the camaraderie that exists here, I felt that I had to join in.
It all began last fall when I took a co-worker’s Cafe Racer out for a short ride and have to admit that I was really impressed, I mean really really impressed. My first thought was WOW I haven’t had so much fun riding in a long time. Second thought was I have to get me one of these as it was so easy for me to get wrapped up in the experience that I lost all sense of what's happening around me.
Well it wasn’t long after I found a CB750K7 that I just couldn’t turn down and made an offer.  Now the transformation into a cafe racer begins.......
First is put together a "to do" list and any suggestions/hints would be appreciated. Also when the mods begin, i will start yet another build thread.

Cheers from the Great White North (aka Montreal, Canada)

I'm likely an hour away. Stop by the VRRA booth at the bike show, I'll be there all day Sunday.

Planning to head to the bike show Friday afternoon, any chance you'll be there? Would love to meet and talk.
