Did I just go over to the dark side of CBs?
« on: February 21, 2009, 06:51:51 PM »
So I just answered a craigslist ad for a CB750.  I didnt realize it at first, but it was actually an ad for a 1979 10th Anniversary edition of the CB750.  So I went and looked at it, and it had DUAL overhead cams. But it looked great, had electronic ignition, fired right up. minor issues, but nothing i cant take care of. so i BOUGHT it.  Have I gone to the darkside by leaving my single overhead camed brethren for my only bike?  :D f

How come there is no forums.dohc4.net??

Nah you're doomed bro....give it up, next you'll want carbon fibre wings and plastic mags.
That second bump aint really a cam, it's an ashtray and the one on the other side is a double drink cup holder, Japans' little joke on us Oxidentals! ;D
Once you strip it down you'll find a 250 Benelli twin wedged up inside the fake motor casings.

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

These guys aren't too bad either, they have a K section of their forum.

I'll say this, I owned an 81 750C for a while, and those DOHC 750s can sure move.

Having said that, yes, you've gone over to the Dark Side.  Cue Ewan McGregor to slice your limbs off and toss you into a lava pit.   ;D

   Shoot, he probably would've done that just for him having bought a Honda.  You DO know he's all about the Triumphs and such.  Just watched "The Island" again last night, good flick.
