I'de been lurking around here for a while and thought i'd finally say something , i just picked up a 70 CB750 with a 72 engine . i got it up and going and I'm just finishing the suspension and body work , then it'll be done . I've already met 2 members that live close to me , anyone else in the nova area ? I'm in fairfax .

Welcome!

Bike's looking good.  What's the bike in very rear with what appears to be an underseat exhaust and expansion chamber.  2 stroke?

actually behind the 750 is my 70 triumph bonneville chopper , and behind that is an 85 yamaha rz500 (believe it or not we found it missplaced in the rv section of the local craigslist for $400) v4 power valved 2 stroke insanity . and those are just the toys i felt like bringing inside the house , theres 5 or 6 more bikes outside .

Sounds like my house.  Got four bikes on the back patio (one runs, the other three are projects), two runners on the carport with a non-runner, and two more projects in the basement.  Doesn't count the similar-looking 750 that's at "an undisclosed location" getting a clutch and some other work done, along with some other bikes and parts.  None of them are younger than 1985.

Oh yeah: I'm in Springfield.

cool , i didn't expect to see so many people close to me on here . incase any of you locals didn't see my post in the wanted section i badly need a set of good forks , don't have to be great , but usable . let me know if you got anything , it's pretty much the last major part i need for this beast to be ridable.
