My latest addition
« on: August 31, 2024, 10:14:58 AM »
1976 CB 750
totally refurbished
And also before I forget I purchased the bike form John DeMaria ( BenelliSEI) I had been aware of John's work a few years ago however I never had the opportunity to meet him, very happy to have purchased one of his machines. When my wife and I were back in Ontario for a holiday in July I picked it up then.
Hey you meet the nicest people on a Honda.......

Let’s not forget that “LASH” built the lovely (correct K6) engine for the bike. And the badges from Stu. The K4 engine that was in the bike is now in my 1974 Rickman CR. One day that will get finished too. It’s up next, after the S/c.
