'78 CB750 new owner
« on: January 20, 2014, 07:19:16 PM »
Hey all,
Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I just picked up a project '78 CB750 four for $900. It is a low miles bike, but it needs some work but I'm looking forward to the job. This is only my second proper bike, but I have a lot of experience wrenching on old cars and bikes including a 1960 Lambretta Series II, a 1969 MGB GT, a 1970 Lotus Elan, and a 1986 Jeep CJ7 that are all currently in my stable. I've also worked at an Alfa Restoration shop for about a decade, in case anyone wants any Giulietta advice.

I'm in the Bay Area, CA and look forward to being a part of this community.

Thanks for the welcome.
Can't wait to learn the nuances of my new toy.
Always happy to meet a fellow CJ owner. Especially one who daily drives their rig. I alternate between the CJ and MGB for daily driving duties myself. Over 250,000 miles and still going strong.
