New 75 750k owner from RI.
« on: August 08, 2007, 07:20:39 AM »
Hello everyone. My name is Scott and I just picked up a 1975 cb750k (red) with 5500 miles on it.  It came back from the shop yesterday with some rebuilt carbs and rebuilt front brakes.  I just have to say that this is my thrid bike and by far my favorite so far. Everything on the bike is original except it has a  waaaaaay tall sissy bar.

Thats all for now.


EDIT:  Here are some pics.... they are from a crappy Treo and I even caught the reflection of my ugly mug too.

Hey Scott,

Welcome. There's a bunch of us in the Boston area that get together quite a bit. Drop me an email or a pm if you want to do some riding. We'll be going to the rice-o-rama show in September in Southbridge. http://www.rice-o-rama.com/
Later,
Chris

Hey Scott, welcome! As Frostypuck (Chris) mentioned there are a few of us around and always up for a ride. There will also be a SOHC run to Owls Head Lighthouse Vintage motorcycle museum in Maine last weekend of August and after this the RICE-ORAMA and a few Fall rides after this. Hope to meet soon.

cheers

Woohoo Maine..... I hope to get enough riding in with my bike to make sure it is up to a decent sized trip like that.... Right now I have put about 50 miles on it (just got it back from the shop) I am going to take it to work tomorrow(105mi round trip) and go for a nice big ride on the weekend.

I wish mine was the bright orange.... Its "red" but looks like a dark orange.  I am also contemplating taking off that monster sissy bar.  ;D
