I'm still chasing an annoying off-idle hesitation, but she can't stay in the garage forever.


Totally agree the SOHC bike should be out on the road!

Another beautiful fall day, had to take advantage, there won’t be many more here in Ontario.

Chris…… You’re right! Where did you get that tank? I like it. J.
John, it’s from a 80s Suzuki 400. I always thought it fit’s well the CB750.

Lately I've been having attachment problems too, it seems like the laptop can't find them. I bet it's an "update improvement".

Kevin….. We had a CVMG BBQ here a few summers ago and there were close to 20 bikes that day too, but certainly not so many cb750s!

Stu…. It appears so! Nobody really came out and asked, but it went so smoothly the club seems determined to do it again. I get to spend the day riding with my son and friends, so not objecting too strongly! I’m thinking if I bring in a local farm family (with their burger truck) for the after party, I could make it pretty stress free…..

Thanks, Jeff.  Full disclosure, this ride was Nov 1st.  You probably remember the high temp that day was around 70, so I took advantage of that. 

Very pretty, and I bet cold.

Thanks Maui, that is Swan Falls Dam.
