Another Newbie from Western Canada
« on: January 02, 2017, 12:11:38 PM »
Hello All and a Happy New Year!
I am from Alberta and am looking at 78 K for my first purchase.  I owned a brand new 77 back in the day, but alas it was sold as family came along.
Getting back into collecting and tinkering as a retirement hobby.

Welcome, you have found a great source of information.

Currently in Whitehorse but grew up right next door to Camrose.

Looking forward to pics of your project.

Newbie as well,
In Jan, I just picked up a non running, lots of missing parts 1972 cb750K2 with K1 engine. ripping it apart to learn about how it all works then turn into some sort of runner. 

Looking to make some connections for tips tricks and advice. Especialy where to get parts in Canada without going to the US for them!

look forward to chatting,
Mike
