Hello from Columbia SC
« on: February 14, 2014, 08:33:08 PM »
Hello all! Been browsing the forums for a while. Figured I would join and make it official.
Off topic, we just had an earthquake about an hour ago. A cute little 4.5.

Thanks, Ive never rebuilt/restored a bike before and Ive scoured this site for tons of helpful info. Figured it was time I start to contribute and participate.
Only rode a bike 1 time, another cb750 a friend owned. It was enough for me to fall in love with it and keep my eye out for one. Ive been tinkering with mine for over a year now, little bit here and a bit there. I hope to have it up and running for MSF classes this summer. I have a decent bit of mechanical skill and tons of curiosity. Dont mind asking questions either.

78 750 with a few franken parts from the PO. Just recently learned that the front brakes and carbs are off of a 76.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Welcome from Georgia.........yep, that little quake was felt here too..............'course I slept thru it.

So my wife wakes me up and says"did you feel that?"

I was asleep.....................sheesh.
If it ain't raining, I'm riding.....~~{iii}?~~prost

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.
