Hello from Peterborough, UK
« on: December 06, 2020, 03:37:40 PM »
Hi guys Im from Peterborough in the uk. I’ve just made a payment on importing a cb750 from the states as my first ever bike as a 21 year old. Never ridden one, don’t have a license, never worked on one before. I managed to pick one up for 1650 with free shipping to the uk which seemed too good to be true but here we are. No doubt with my lack of experience I’ll rely on your wisdom to help out in any areas you can. Really excited to get going on it and looking forward to seeing the progress on your builds.

Welcome, what do you know about your purchase?
Model? Year?

Enjoy your first bike. Take lots of pictures and videos. Write down lots of notes. If you have difficulties or questions or just need to vent or rant.... Start a thread here on the forums. All of the answers are within these pages. The search function works well and good manners like you've shown will go a long way.

Enjoy these times and don't fear the unknown.

Welcome aboard from across the pond near Peterborough NH, and congratulations to you on your purchase. Hopefully it will be a fun adventure getting it going.
The 750 is a blast to own and ride. I bought a new one in 1975 just like the one I own today.
