Yep, New Member.....
« on: October 30, 2007, 07:52:44 PM »
Hi everyone!  Good Ol APTECH77 just pointed me over here so here I am...

the name Catahoulabulldog, people just call me Cata, pr my real name of Keith. I live in CT, USA I run the TheSpeedTriple.com (also SMF board very cool) I ride an 04 Triumph SpeedTriple SE 


and... I couldnt resist this...
A $50 USD pickup..... 78 550F SuperSport.


The plan is pretty strait foreword.  Gut it, Clean it, Rebuild it, Cafe it.  time limit?  eh who knows I'd like to have it on the road next season for some fun... but it all depends on schedules and $$$ I am sure thats a common formula here. Wish me luck..... or at least wish me the fewest amount of stitches possible...  :D

Welcome to the forum.  I've got a '75 550F and a '74 CB750K.  The 550 is a great runner, and you should get many miles out of it once you get going on it.  And for that price....
