Guy seems really bent on DTT, kinda funny actually.

Prison ally I don't get these dress up parties.
Painted a stock bike funny colors, nothing more then that.

Some guys build a bike to ride, other to take pictures of it for the web.

Yep, looks like he's teamed up with the knuckle dragging back slappers over there, Thats what he was after here after reading his posts, more, "well done mate" , "your a legend" and more arse licking stuff like that, was what he was after,  definitely wasn't after OPINIONS, When you are appealing to the lowest common denominator thats what you get   ;D  He's still checking in here though.... 8)  I did a search on his bike and found it and his story on numerous sites, Plenty of similar opinions posted there as well, he sure likes his moment of fame...I think its gone to his head, Look at me, look at me.... :P  lol   Just giving the boys a DTT something to whine about   8)

Mon Dieu !

I was away only a short while and this all came to pass  un vrai orage dans ma tasse de thé ! Possibly a bit late for my €0.02's worth, but I personally thought Uncle Tel made a good offer, in good faith, with no risk whatsoever seeing as he has many kilograms . . . of Credibility !!
Shame our good Oui Oui is so serious that a bit of chain pulling was too much for him, on this forum that is inevitable, and a small price to pay for the very valuable advice that is available here.

All is not lost however, If ever I need a plumber I know who I can call.

C'est vrai !

Hope I don't stray into another minefield with that observation !!!

I've just scored a good K2 rolling chassis that I can install the 836cc engine into, so I still get to put a perfectly good CB750 back on the road, while I watch your progress. Cheers, Terry. ;D
Excellent news mate, I hope that means you can concentrate on doing your thing, the way you want to, and stop wasting your time re-iterating your opinions over and over again here...I get it, you're very knowledgable so your opinions are clearly the only ones that matter. Is there an official place for your subjects to kneel? Some kind of temple? Or some kind of particular direction I should face? It's the direction one isn't it? As long as we're looking at everything the same as you we're all good.

I think "Really talented" has a different meaning round here and i think you may just be the first to call yourself one
Well the fact that Terry said that and not me kinda ruins your point...

Thats what he was after here after reading his posts, more, "well done mate" , "your a legend" and more arse licking stuff like that, was what he was after
Or did I come here to learn like I said in the first post? Again, a little less of the assumptions and little more reading might help you out there fella. A little less talk, and little more listen, eh?

definitely wasn't after OPINIONS
Well at least you got something right.

He's still checking in here though....
Yep, it's constant source of entertainment.

So... let's actually have a look at this CB750 shall we... rather than all these nipples I never asked to see...

EDIT: Dunno where these shots went... lost to the sands of time...
EDIT 2: Found 'em! Alas I've now lost all my snarky comments...

Nothing at all mate, nothing at all. I didn't realise we needed to make valid points in this thread? I've got some streamers you can have for the handle bars too, they're also free.

For a moment it looked like you are blaming me for previous owner's adaptations, are you sure you are grown enough to interact with adults?

Didn't know we still had any adults left around here. My point could have also been been that I didn't come on to your thread and bag your motorbike out with inane bull#$%*. But I figured that might have been a bit lost on you... anyway, enough about me, let's talk about you some more.

Noddy, what has been done to 70cb750's bike was a big trend in the '70's.  Most cheap 750's found today, in the U.S., look something like this.  What you intend to do with your cb750 is an infinitely less popular trend...but just another trend none the less.  So, based on how much you appreciate the look of 70cb750's bike(guessing not much), it's pretty easy to extrapolate how completely retarded your bike is gonna look in 30 years, let alone 2.
If it works good, it looks good...

C'mon now Noddy

Get with the program mate.
Didn't anyone tell ya?
We didn't just come here for a haircut.  ;D

I'd be worried about me.

At least he's funny over at DTT.... ;D  In case you didn't know numb nuts, that frame has a frame kit, its designed to make working on the top end in the bike possible without having to pull the engine, lots of bikes here have then and i know of at least 4 different versions. I hear most antiseptic creams help with butt hurt.... 8)

Well that's pretty cool, I wasn't aware of that. Look at that, some constructive, educational input! I've just had pick myself up off the floor... but don't worry, I've got some cream for that too.

You know that Miley Cyrus is popular too, right? Doesn't make it good... Is my bike standing for election? Trying to sell platinum records? What the #$%* do I care about what's "popular"?

There we go, fixed this thread right up again.
