Hey all, new guy from Boston
« on: February 10, 2009, 10:28:10 AM »
Hey, just joined up.  I've been browsing quite a bit trying to absorb information. 

I just recently bought a 1977 CB750 that I'm trying to get up to 100%, I'll post some photos once I get my camera working.

Thanks for this site and forums, it's a great resource!, I've learned quite a bit!

Welcome!

I have the exact same bike.  I'm sure it will be lots of fun if I ever get it put back together :)

I'm originally from Revere...whereabouts are you?

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome!

I'm from Methuen originally.  Currently in Somerville

-Revere, eh Bunghole?  You can bet I'll be riding to Kelly's at least once during the summer!  My family has a cottage in Winthrop and I spend quite a bit of my time there in the summer...

Not the best photo, and the bike needs some help, but it runs strong :)

My wife and I visited Revere a couple of years back.  I hadn't been there in years.  I got her hooked on Bianchi's Pizza on the beach near Revere Street.  I used to live on the stuff when I was in my teens.  Pizza in Cali is garbage, so my wife and I are perfecting our homemade version.

Hmmm, never been to Bianchi's, I'll have to check it out.  Man I've been thinking of heading west, but a lack of good pizza and roast beef joints may cause me to go insane in a "The Shining" type fashion!

   Ummm....original exhaust? C'mon now Andy. It's an original exhaust alright...for a 77/78F.  ::)

 ;D ;D ;D


   Lookin' good Ryan...even with the "original" exhaust. Good to meet you the other night, see you 'round campus.
