Greetings all
My name is Tony, I have a 76 750F ss, along with about 6 other various bikes in various stages of dissassembly. The 750 is my daily rider, and is in a constant state of modification. I got the bike for free from a guy who stored it on the west coast for 20+ years!! It was so rusty, you could poke holes in the tank with a finger, and the seat broke off when I opened it. So I scavenged some local parts and frankensteined it back together. My best friend calls it the Suzukiyamahondasaki..
I am a reporter for a medium market newspaper in Fort Bragg, CA. The bike needed to be tough and not afraid to get dirty, because I often have to go off-road to get the story and photos. So as much as I like the bike, it's not that pretty... I have been riding over 25 years, and have probably owned about 40 bikes in my life. I have a ton of parts, metric tools and a pickup, and will always stop to help a fellow rider.

Welcome. Sounds like you have an interesting job. Even with your description, or because of it, we'd still like to see a picture of your "Suzukiyamahondasak." You have me curious.

Welcome. Look forward to hearing about some of the adventures your Suzukiyamahondasaki has in the course of its work. Sounds interesting. In England  both  commuter/work bikes and newspaper reporters are called 'Hacks' ;D

Second all the welcomes.  Soon we'll have enough F owners to challenge Eldar and the K8's. :D :D :D
