Canadian Newbie
« on: December 22, 2007, 04:33:10 AM »
Hi all, I'm Matt, and I'm an alcoholic... j/k.

I recently picked up a '78 CB750F that has been sitting for quite some time.  My buddy is big into the old CB's and had it sitting at his late uncles collecting dust.  I'll bring the old girl back to life.

I'm going to cafe the thing, and strip off any non essential parts.  I might even go kick only & ditch the electric start all together.

the pics are with my cell, so I apologize for the poor quality.



I'm looking forward to conversing with you all and picking your brains ;D

Either like a headline, or a poorly constructed sentence. ;D Have to do something about that. ;)

Oh, it's snow covered now...  Trailers buried, but the bike has been moved to the garage, and is all apart right now.  I'll post pics when I can :)
