New guy from TX
« on: June 12, 2017, 08:10:29 PM »
I own a chopped 78f cb750 and have enjoyed riding it since 2001. I built the first motor I ran in it. Sadly it threw the chain and broke both case halves. But I found a better rebuilt motor and jumped on it. I'm rebuilding a stock 77k so just soaking up info. Met a member on craigslist and got some parts. Jbcb500 is a true gent and I think I made a buddy. Thanks.

Welcome from Fort Worth.   What part of the state are you in?

Thanks. I'm in Houston. Sugarland to be exact. Not born a Texan (Indiana). But I'm proud all my kids are native Texans.

Welcome aboard Savalis, thanks for the kind words, nice meeting you too.  Always good to find another Honda addict in Texas!  Can't wait to see your next bike after seeing that chopper!

We have lots of great people down there in Houston.  It's a good place to be.
