Hello from the NE of UK
« on: October 06, 2017, 12:38:53 PM »
Hi,

I'm a newbie, called Zoe and ride a Honda CB750 called Errol! He's a 1977 supersport with a 75 engine and I've had him for just over a year now.

More of a fair weather rider than anything and the only Honda 'in the village' to my Hubble and his Harley buds. Love rides up into Northumberland countryside up here in the chilly north and tinkering away to keep him running well.  Like his current look but needs a few more personal touches...plus ideally smaller side mirrors as currently I feel like a wasp riding it  ;D

Let me know what you think of him!

Welcome from the other side of the  pond.

I am no expert on 750s but those mirrors look stock.

Hi MD,

Yes the previous owner aimed to have all aspects stock. I've only changed indicators and modified rear light bracket at the mo. Side mirrors and slightly lower bars are next on the agenda for sure!

Welcome Zoe and cool bike! I used to have a CB750F2 with comstar wheels (when I was commuting between Oxford and Glasgow). Much prefer the spoked wheel look. Looking forward to seeing some photos of that great Northumberland countryside!

cheers
