Topic: Hello from Encounter Bay, South Australia

[gotorx7]

Hi, I'm Dave, and I'm trying to re-live my childhood

I bought a 750K1 (new) when I was 16, and had a whole world of fun and adventures on it before replacing it with a Z900.

I am now retired and (likely foolishly) have found a rather nice (original) example of the identical bike to take to Coffee and Chrome occasionally.

I also bought a fully restored Z900 which should be here in a couple of days, as I try not to do anything by halves

I have a few classic cars also, and am a keen amateur photographer,   You can see my stuff on my website(s) if you wish.

I am located about 100km south of Adelaide, just outside of a very pretty town called Victor Harbour.  I stream a view on youtube 24/7 from my balcony -

Really pleased to be here amongst other CB enthusiasts, as I can see there is a wealth of information and knowledge here that will help me care for the CB750, and hopefully tidy up a few things that aren't quite right

Welcome aboard the forum Dave.
I did a screenshot of your bike and rotated it for all to see it easier. Nice bike, have fun with it, they are still a blast to ride and to work on.

Dave…. Welcome from Canada! There is a K1 on bringatrailer.com right now, identical to yours. It even has the chrome headlight ears from a later bike! Enjoy your ride, my K1 is my favorite!

Thanks Stu - I picked the wrong image and didn't notice    To be fair it WAS late!   I've replaced, and many thanks for the welcome..

Cheers, Dave

Thank you for the welcome!

We're of an age, I see, so great to hear you are still enjoying your 750!

Cheers, Dave

I spoke to couple of neighbours, and they remember you too!!   lol

Victor Harbour is a lot bigger than it was 40 years ago, but still a very nice little town,  and it's pretty civilised too .. we have a Macdonalds, and Aldi - everything!
