Heading out for breakfast and a ride with Ganaraska CVMG bunch. Gorgeous, cool morning!
K1 cruisin" ! One of the best years for the 750's in my worthless opinion.  :D

+1, me too Eric, in my questionable opinion, the K1 was the best CB750 built, I really must put my 1970 built K1 together soon. Beautiful bike John. ;D
It would be nice to have a K1.

I understand why, still good power with good flowing HM300 pipes. Carbs the easier to sync as the other later.
Paint scheme with parts painted is nice.
Beautiful tank badges. Nice gauges with built in pilot lamps.

I have an extra K2 frame. It could get K1 look ;D
Gauges another $$$$ problem. I need kmh speedo.

Thank you gentlemen! I agree, my K1 has a set of very NOS HM300 pipes (and seat) I stumbled on, about five years ago. Th tank has some “patina” but otherwise it’s just lovely. My absolute favourite ride.

Hurricane Mtn Road and Bear Notch Rd are classic NH roads perfectly suited to the mighty CB750. Has the Kangamangus been repaved? I may have to head up there for a Fall Ride.
Love the planet metallic blue 750 - had one back in 1991 for my first cross-country adventure

Hey Andy
The Kanc has not been repaved but is mostly still in good condition this year.
Both the others are new pavement.
Let me know when you are going and I might be able to get away.

Thanks Per, my first "K" bike was a K1 in 1980. I bought it from my best mate from school, who bought it in 1974 when he was 14 (true story, we knew another kid who's father (who couldn't speak English very well) bought him a shiny new K2 when he was 13 when he decided he was too big for his XR75) and I've always thought that the K1 was a better bike than the K0 mechanically, and looked better than all the other models, but of course there's the sentimental tie, so I don't expect anyone else to agree with me.

I've got two K1's in pieces, an early one and a late one, the late one has some frame damage, but the engine was a hotrod so I might rebuild the hotrod engine and put it in the early frame, because it's freshly painted and ready to go. I have to decide on colour, I think I'll paint it silver, like my first K1, below. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Was the silver a standard colour in Aus Terry? Ive only ever seen it as a japanese market before.

G'Day Bryan, the kid I was taking about who's German father accidentally bought him a shiny new K2 had a silver one, and I think Mick in Darwin had a silver K2 as well? That tank was repainted for me so not original, my K1 was red. I don't think we got a lot of silver ones, the predominant colour was red, with (very) few blues, greens, browns, golds, etc. ;D

Took my longest ride since rebuilding this thing today.  Jeffersonville to Charlestown, Charlestown down 160 to Salem.  135 out of Salem down to Corydon and 62 East back to Jeffersonville.  110 miles of Indiana roads without a single issue - pretty happy with that.

Bonus weather today, perfect for a 220 km ride! 15-20C and sunshine. Blue clear sky as it can be in the autumn.

Tried other roads and a small pizza joint in a small village called Färna as I had planned earlier this year before riding season.
Ate outside while still possible.
Nice windling countryside roads and bike ran really good.

All very nice PeWe, but I have a couple questions.
 Maybe I can make that lunch bowl if you help me with the ingredients. Im trying to find the menu for the Färna pizzeria. For sure I’m hungry now :)
 Is there a speed limit on the farm lane? I see you get to share it with trucks and trailers.

The last road pics are from a very narrow road where I stopped for photos only for the nice views. A shortcut between usual 70-80kmh roads.
Most of the other roads have 80kmh as limit.  No problem to cruise around in 80-100.

No cops at all but other people on the roads. I met 3 women driving cars on wrong side of the road since they saw people beside the road on their side just when meating me on my bike.  I saw them in time so I could slow down and avoid being smashed by an idiot driving on wrong side of the road due to wrong decision.

Female drivers are not on my hit list, maybe if I should own a heavy truck like a Peterbilt with licence, no need to brake for crazy drivers. ;D

100kmh roads usually boring for a ride unless it is a quick transport to an area with nicer roads.

The food I ate was a Kebab in bread. They made the bread in their pizza oven, same kind of dough. Sliced onions, sallad, a few tomato slices, kebab meat slices and hot read sauce and mild white sauce. Mild pepperonis on top.
Almost like this but bigger and more stuff into it.

The hot sauce can be tomato sauce/crushed tomatoes with  Tunisian chili paste called Harissa sold in cans, mmmm!!. A teaspoon or tablespoon depending on needs of heat and good taste.

White sauce work fine with sour cream.
The meat is minced meat mix with spices, pressed to a big round cylindrical form.  It sit on a rotating grill, flame it while rotating. The meat is cut in thin slice stripes when it is grilled and become thinner and thinner. The big cylindershaped minced meat mix can be around 5-10kg. I have seen same type of rotsting grill in Greece with a stack of meat slices doing pita gyros. (Pita is the bread, gyros the meat)

This is one of the good  Middle East influences plus North Africa for the Harissa. ;)

This type of food is well worth an international chain as McDonalds, BK, KFC and similar bike stop food!
