Hello,
I'm checking in from northeast Wisconsin, on the western shores of Lake Michigan's Green Bay. I've been riding bikes for a number of years. My current stable includes a '06 Sportster 1200, '94 XT350, and a '93 GSX-R750. It will soon include a '76 CB750. Which is obviously why I have been lurking, and am now joining this forum.
The Honda is more than just a bike to me. It was the first bike I ever rode. While I was still in my mother's womb! I'm still waiting to get the entire story. My dad is a fairly private man. So what I know of the bike comes mostly from my mother. She says he bought it new in the winter of '76-'77. He convinced my reluctant mother to go for a ride. And I firmly believe that is what put the gasoline in my veins. I've been into cars, trucks, ATV, motorcycles, etc, for my entire life.
Anyway, I've told my dad for a decade now, that if he ever decided to retire the old Honda, to sell it to me. He called me a few weekends ago to say he bought a new bike, better suited for his aging body and desire for longer, more comfortable rides. And so he is giving me the old Honda. I don't really have room for four bikes, so I'll probably part with my Suzuki. I can't wait to get the Honda home, give it a once over, or two, and start putting miles on it. I'll share some photos here in the forum once I am eligible.
By the way, I have been lurking here for a while, this forum and related website has a plethora of information that really is invaluable to guys like me.
