I've caught the bug!!!
« on: January 19, 2008, 12:38:38 AM »
Well I definitely have an itch that I just can't stratch..  I have been in love with the SOHC Honda's every since my step dad let me take his '76 Honda 750Four S.S. out years ago. It was my starter bike.. A bike of which he has had since it was brand new!  :o

Now I have came into a bit of money, and I am wanting to purchase one for myself, and I can't seem to find a decent one anywhere!! ( In my area, that is )

As pathetic as it sounds, I am actually losing sleep over it! !

Hope to find one soon, and get to tinkering!!

Of course I am new to the forum, but I have been reading over everyone's builds and mostly everbody seems to be well informed and has a lot of knowledge to spread! So I really can't wait to get my hands on one, and start poking at yalls brains!!!

So thanks in advance, ( Going back and searching through the "want ads" )

I am a Cafe Racer myself, on some days - and it is one of my finest addictions. ~H. S. Thompson~

Welcome. Keep looking, craigslist, eBay and with spring coming, around here bike ads start showing up in the local papers. What is the image in your avatar?

It is supposed to move like static on a scrambled channel, but it's from the band "tool".

It's one of my favs..

Welcome!

Did you see the thread called "whats it worth?"  Make an offer and maybe you could do a road trip to Vermont and have you a bike!

I am in Nashville Tennessee...  I am looking at a bike right now, of which I posted pics and info on, in the SOHC4/Bikes section.. Go check it out!

And thank you for the warm welcomes.. I am definitely looking forward to getting my hands dirty
