New to sohc4.net but not to bikes. Kids have all grown up, so have decided to get back into bikes again. Have a small collection of classics in various states of rebuild. Just purchased a 1971 Honda CB750 to use on the road. Christ I forgot how heavy they were.  :o  The bike is complete, but needs alot of TLC. Possibly looking to convert it into a CR replica..Not sure yet. Anyway that's nuf for the intro. oops, should also mention that I'm living in Ireland.

Welcome. I know what you mean about the weight. Mine sat in the corner of the garage for 22 yrs. and decided to try and get it back on the road. First time on it, felt the same way, but in no time you don't even give a thought. Just a matter of reacquaintance and readjustment. ;)
