Topic: Hi From Alaska. Just bought a 76 CB750

Wow this site is way cool.  Has already helped me fix all my ignition troubles on my new bike.  I'll post some pics soon of my stock bike and then document my Cafe Racer transformation with pics.

Welcome to the madness Count, looking forward to the pics of your bike
Cheers

Welcome.  Where at in AK?  I just moved from Juneau 3-4 years ago.

I live in Kenai.  Woke up this morning to 8" of snow.  What the hell?  I just went riding last night.

Oops it was late when I posted this.  I actually have a 76 CB550

Welcome from NY! How long is the riding season up there?

I'll be moving back to Anchorage this year and I'm bringing my 73 750, I'll give you a shout when I'm all settled in.

That sounds familiar.  I lived off K-Beach Road for several years in the late 80s to mid 90s.

No way!  I live off Gaswell road.  Small world. 
Mrblasty:  Yeah man we'll have to get together.  I have a bud that lives in anchorage that has a Kawasaki Triple.

Hmm I'd have to say 4-5 months.  Three months of that is decent sunny weather.  It's cool though the fishing is worth it.

We lived up Skyline Drive, not too far away.

Ok just posted some pics.  Just bought this last week.  Has a killer paint job by a real pro.  Awesome condition.  I'm just now ordering some cafe parts and a new electronic ignition + coils.  Am still researching what to do with the exhaust.  I want something super loud without having to rejet the carbs.  Even possible?  Any links to some good exhaust threads would be helpful.  Still learning to navigate this site.

Freakin bizzar.  Thats right up the street!  Why did you decide to move away?  Sick of the peninsula?

No, I liked it there.  It's best place to live in Alaska in my opinion.  But even so, I got tired of the crappy weather.  I didn't mind winter at all, but I like to have a summer.  Most years, it rains most of the summer, at least it did when I lived there.  I never figured on living in the same place forever, anyway.  But I still get a little homesick for AK sometimes.
