Hi, I'm Todd. I'm 28 and live in Sarasota, Florida. I've posted on here a few times and figure I better introduce myself. My first and current thoroughbred is my 2007 Triumph T100. I post on that forum under the name TCL. I took my Triumph apart the day I bought it new and did some cool stuff to it, but I do not want to completely chop up a perfect bike.
That is where my obsession with cafe stuff started I guess. I got on craigs list and got obsessing with finding a good bike to cafe. I bought a perfect '79 cb650 2 months ago that had sat for awhile and was not running. It is very similar to my Triumph and too heavy, so I bought it with the intention of getting it running and reselling it so that my next project is free. With some help from this forum, I got the carbs cleaned up and she is ready for a good home (check ebay this week). I feel bad to see her go, but I just can't justify keeping her.
Meanwhile, I found an impounded CB400 on ebay last week and picked her up Wednesday. I have stripped it to the frame and opened up the crank case this morning. She is in rough shape, but everything inside of the motor is pristine, so I plan on doing every dastardly thing to her that I have wanted to do to my Triumph but have been to much of a gentleman to do. I'll post pics periodically of my progress and may need a place to stay when my girl kicks me out for spending to much time in the garage.
Nice to meet you.
