Hello from Marble Falls Texas
« on: July 20, 2024, 02:28:34 PM »
I recently picked up a 1971 CB750 project.  It is my first motorcyle project, and I found this board looking for information to help with the
project. 
Its kind of nice to be on a message board again instead of facebook.
Looking forward to learning new things.

Howdy! Welcome!  :)
It's much better here than FB.
Nice riding out your way.
I'm near Dripping Springs.

The hill country has lots of good riding.   Due to family and work I have not been able to ride in many years, but I am hopeful that next year I will make a return to two wheels.

Thank you guys, I know its going to be both a fun and frustrating project.  As soon as it will let me post on the project page I will.  I believe I dont have enough posts yet to make a post on that page yet.  It has a kinda interesting story, but I will wait till I can post on the proper spave to tell it.
My first challenge will be making spave and organize my garage.  We are going to have to work on that soon anyway as we have to replace our garage doors from a hail storm, and they need room to work as well.
