Hi guys,
My name is Drew and I live in Centreville VA and have a Cafe'd out 1978 CB750K8 I purchased off of Craigslist and I am spending the winter finishing it off. The bike is a strong runner and good looker and these days I am mainly working on bullet proofing it with stuff like all stainless bolts, braided steel oil, fuel and hydro lines, and probably an oil cooler. This is the 4th sohc Honda 4 I have owned in my life (71 and 74 CB750's and a 76 CB400) and I have had a smattering of other bikes (1967 Bonnie, 2 RD400's, H2 Kawi, 1000 Skirtster) but I keep coming back to the CB's
.
I am a New York native and recently hit 40, have a wife and 2 kids, and manage a high end bicycle/triathlon shop for a living. I spent the 10 years before my kids came along working as an audio engineer touring with bands and shows, but now it's the staid suburban life for me.
Aside from motorcycles, I collect vintage road bicycles and Campagnolo components, and old school BMX bikes (20+ bikes all pre-1985). I think you can click the lil' web icon on the right to see my sadly outdated home page featuring some of my bikes and my podcast. I am also an avid record/music collector, and on again off again DJ/podcaster. Before the kids when I had more free time I also played drums/percussion and did some music production. These days there is little time for all my hobbys, so now whenever I get a free hour I either throw a leg over the CB, or if it is late/too cold/wet/snowy I hit the garage with a pint and wrench on it a bit.
I look forward to meeting people with the same passion for these great bikes, and I am sure I will learn quite a bit from you all as well.
Drew
