I think it's called a, hmmm, safety meeting.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #176 on:** April 28, 2010, 09:42:42 PM »

no that's later. this is the pre-safety meeting, where we all get to know each other and marvel at how green the phair ground is.

Anybody know who was riding a clean brown 750 off of NW 23rd and whipped a U turn and tool off West bound Some time around 11:30 to 12:00? Had 2 into 1 for exhaust I think. Sorry was in traffic on NW 23rd, (total road closure) and it just made the traffic not so bad!!

I'm in Portland.
I have 2 '75 CB400s.
Got em both about 7 years ago..then my son as born and they sat.
First one is almost ready to put the engine in the frame. I hope to have that one on the street this summer. I'll start the next one in the fall.

Just found this forum and figured I'd add my name to the list. I am in Wilsonville. Recently got a '78 CB550K that is complete and assembled, but needs some TLC. I hope to do some minimal restoration work so I can ride it this summer. Then I'll tackle a more complete rebuild over the winter.

Welcome to you both. There are alot of people on here from Portland and everyone is really helpful, both on the web and in the shop.

i'll be trying to make it anyway. might have to give the norton a good once over and coat the entire thing in loctite...

I take it you got the clutch issue sorted?

if by "clutch issue" you mean the fact that the power from the engine was causing the primary chain to pull the transmission forward in it's mount and make the clutch pushrod adjustment go out, yes.

oh the joys of owning an old brit bike. the only other problem was that the ignition was shorting out to the points cover. had i not given up and diagnosed these things on the road, i'd have made it home on 2 wheels.

200 miles on the Norton, eh?

Little_Horse · « **Reply #186 on:** May 11, 2010, 08:01:01 PM »

So is it a "vintage" bike ride?

Staggerlee · « **Reply #187 on:** May 11, 2010, 08:02:44 PM »

It's a "run what ya brung" kinda thing.

Little_Horse · « **Reply #188 on:** May 11, 2010, 08:05:24 PM »

Oh so I can choose which bike I ride then, which usually is a weather thing for me. Or comfort since cafe bikes aren't supposed to be comfortable, but we will see. I may have to work at the shop but I am interested in going.

MickeyX · « **Reply #189 on:** May 11, 2010, 08:06:26 PM »

Ah!

We're going camping this weekend with a 100 or so of our closest friends.

(Some Oregon Country Faire prelim stuff.) Wish we could do the ride though. Maybe the next one that comes up somewhere.

Have fun and be safe everyone.

The Sang-Froid is a riding club with a short membership list, but an open invitation to all who love to ride. Check out their website http://www.sang-froidridingclub.com/. It's set up as a non-profit to promote riding, and amongst other things, they put on http://theonemotorcycleshow.com/ that Paul's bike was in.

Gotta swap my back wheel, but I'm hoping to make it, then maybe head up to Everett the next day for that show. sounds like an interesting organization. Gotta love a bike club that puts on an "art" show...

Been riding a '76 cb400f for a couple years now, live in northeast pdx (alberta st), looking for others who are down to ride on the weekends or whenever really. The weather is starting to get really nice and I'm itching to head out into the gorge or towards the coast... anyone have any rides to suggest?

==Edit==

Oh, and here she is...

Little_Horse · « **Reply #196 on:** May 13, 2010, 09:10:20 PM »

I am usually down for weekend rides... if my schedule stays clear I am thinking about heading to the froid ride.

i'll probably be there for breakfast (coffee), but don't know if the norton is good for 200 miles without #$%* falling off of it... haven't had time to loctite and safety wire everything yet. got the honda cyl block back today though! if i had a head gasket i'd have that back together by saturday.

Grnrngr · « **Reply #199 on:** May 14, 2010, 08:23:09 AM »

Aww come on Paul....I'll bring a buncha extra tools....as well as both black AND silver duct tape....
