From the barn to now being road worthy. Runs like a top but could use a polish
My 1977 Cb750 that had sat for 20+ years.

 Nice, My 20 year sleeper gl1000 was trying for a while but it's a pretty nice bike now.

That's great that you kept it even though squirreled away and got it back on the road. I had a 76K6 I had bought new and sold in 1983 for family needs that I missed greatly. But that's life. I did get another 76 K6 that my brother and then my dad had it's 1st 3 years of life. Dad had sold it in 79 to a friend of mine that rode it until 1988 when it started leaking oil on his dress work pants so he parked it. He still had it in his shed when he gave it to me 6 years ago. Mice played havoc with it and I tore it down 5 years ago to rebuild the motor as they peed in the exhaust ports and froze the motor. I plan to get back at it this summer while I'm home for the season.
