Hello from Canada's East Coast
« on: August 27, 2008, 08:03:15 AM »
Just going through the motions of new membership. New member, not a new rider. My current (and all time favourite) ride is a 1973 CB750 K3, rebuilt with the purpose to ride, complete with V&H 4-1 pipes, Hindle steering damper, Comstar wheels (which means I've done away with the rear drum, now has dual disc hydraulic in the front, single disc in the rear), and I am not sure but I have my suspicions that the previous owner put a little extra in the engine when it was rebuilt as it has some arm stretching ability starting at around 6500rpm. Dedicated Honda rider my whole life and I have only ever owned one bike that was not a Honda, a 1979 XS400 that was lovingly ratted out (painting it flat black was more convenient than cleaning it) and now I cannot seem for the life of me to let it go. Previous bikes are from newest to oldest, modified 1984 VF1000 Interceptor(129 hp), 1984 500 Shadow, 500 Hondamatic, 1981 CB500, 1973 CB350 Four (sold but still in the family).  Family, Motorcyles, Tattoos, Airbrushing and Music are my loves, in that order of priority. Hope to hear from you all and gouhe your brains for knowledge.

Go Easy....
