Met a new 500 cafe owner and a friend of his and put on a few miles today.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Did what any sane person would on an 80° day in December.... took the bike out for a Texas Hill Country run! :)
love them gravel roads , I do a ton of cycling on them  , but have yet to take my 750 on them , how's it handle , I'm afraid of washing out

Me too!



Depends on what tires you have on your bike. Mine do fairly well. Gravel always seems a bit squirrely, but you get used to it. One thing you will notice is that riding gravel tires you out quickly. I think because you are concentrating a lot more on staying upright!

The CB750 is a great bike for dirt roads - low center of gravity and handles well - I have used BT-45s with success

i dont think i'd be attempting that on a highway in what appears to be a populated area where a cop could be hiding... but a cool pic none the less.  I've got a few more secluded roads where i like to do that on occasion;)

No, that is actually a "factory" Honda  fairing made for the CB650 and another model.  I do have the Honda manual for it, just not handy.... but it fits at least 2 (poss the CB750 and 500).
