New SOHC owner!!
« on: January 08, 2008, 03:46:17 AM »
Hi everyone!! My name is Jeff, and I live in upstate NY. I recently picked up a 77' CB750 from a friend, and well......the bug has bitten!!! Soon thereafter I was given a 79' CM400A Hondamatic, and a "almost" basket case 76' CB550. I have been riding mostly offroad since I was very young, and 3 years ago decided to take the MSF rider course to obtain my license. After the course, I bought a 2005 Yammie V-Star 1100, and the rest is history. I love my star, but after getting the 750, I found my new passion....old hondas. My 77' is completely disassembled right now, and I'm in the process of buffing and polishing most of the aluminum parts, and replacing a few things to make her road worthy again. I'm hoping to use the 550 for some needed parts on my 750 like the fuel tank, and gauge cluster.....I really wished I had found this forum a long time ago, but better late than never. Thanks everyone for all the great information that you provide, and hopefully I can contribute some in the future!!   Jeff

Thanks Guys, hey UnCrash, the 550 I just picked up still had the original dealer paperwork under the seat, and it came from Darling Honda in Maine, and then it had some service done at Friend & Friend Honda of Maine too back in 77'....

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
