New member from Cleveland Ohio
« on: May 04, 2018, 06:59:41 PM »
Hello everyone. I guess I'll start be saying a little about myself. I am the proud owner of a 1974 cb750k that I've owned for probably 10 years or so but have known the bike for at least 15 years. The previous owner is  a good friend of mine that moved to West Virginia and didn't want to take the bike with him because he didn't want to wear a helmet. So he sold it to me for $500. I love everything about the bike the way it sounds and it's nimble handling. I'll post pics of it as soon as I can. Don't get me wrong it definitely needs some TLC but it still turns heads where ever I go.

Ya the bike was a good deal. But at the same time it could use some TLC. I like to tell people it's a 30/30 bike. 30 ft or 30 mph and it looks nice.

You might want to plan on attending the Manufacturer's Cup Inaugural Summer Nationals at Dragway 42 July 13th (test-n-tune), 14th and 15th (racing both days). Rumor has it that the SOHC/4's will be well represented there:
