Topic: Vince w/750F from Seattle, WA

[seniorrobot]

Hi everyone. I’m Vince from Seattle, and I own a '78 750F SS.  It's been pretty much stock until now, just some drag bars and an aftermarket exhuast.  That changed recently when a phone wielding SUV driver pulled out in front of me and I put it in her passenger door!  (Obviously I forgot that the rest of us are merely extras in the movie of her life).  This gave me the oppurtunity to work on some upgrades .  I'm blown away by the SOHC4 forum, I have found an answer to every question I've had about my bike (and I have a lot of questions).  Thanks!  I consider myself pretty inexperienced by this forum's standards, but I'll try to contribute where I can and not get in the way too much.

When not riding or working on her, I'm usually either programming computers for The Man or enjoying refreshing beverages in watering holes around Capitol Hill (and not riding).

Here are some pics of my black beauty when I first got her, and after that foul wench disrespected her.

Welcome. Sorry to hear of the bike damage. I'm assuming you faired OK in the encounter.

(Obviously I forgot that the rest of us are merely extras in the movie of her life).

Got a chuckle out of that one.

Thanks!  I went over the bars and checked her truck with my knees and my helmet.  I hobbled around on crutches for 2 weeks with a sprained knee, and a fat lip where I hit the inside of my helmet.  I'm a big believer in full face helmets now (I had one on at the time, but not always), I'd probably be wired up snorting soup up my nose if I hit her truck with my face.  Not that snorting soup isn't fun and all, I'd just prefer to do it recreationally.
