howdy from Texas
« on: July 07, 2016, 10:13:16 AM »
hey all! i recently picked up my first project bike...1976 Santee Chopper frame + 1974 CB750 engine! i've been riding for as long as i could hold a bike up...starting with my dad's old montgomery ward minibike up to my first 1983 honda moped...my cousin taught me to ride her 1970-something honda 175 trail bike (as she called it)...i'm so stoked to find this forum and the wealth of information on the cb750!

regards
