Bonjour from France
« on: August 04, 2013, 11:15:14 PM »
Hello

As a long time SOHC fan, I have visited this site more than once. I am currently putting back together a very original one owner 1972 Egli Honda 750, trying to keep it as "original" (meaning as I found it ) but keep it fast safe, and reliable as it is road registered and I plan to ride it as much as possible.

Amicalement

Octane

Frame maker.  There is a thread somewhere on this forum about a guy making one from scratch...  The 'DIY Egli' bike IIRC.

Hey Octane,
Welcome, Good to see you running around being active.
Same Octane as on NGW I would suspect not to many Octane's out there. :)
Enjoy, I have for many years.
