Here is a picture of the current ride. It is a CB750 and has an 04/72 build date and is titled as a '73. I have had it since '95 and my father had it before that from '87. His best friend bought it new in '73. It was parked in '97 for several years and brought back to life in '05.

I now ride it about 9,000 miles per year, to and from work 2 or 3 days per week and some weekend trips. Current engine is a '78 because of the leaky "O"-rings in the '72 engine, but the '78 is leaking now. From the forum I learned about stuffing paper towels between the head and cylinder to soak up the oil. Lots easier than changing the engine or "O"-rings although that will be done by the summer.

welcome. Between the two engines how many miles has that bike logged? You still have the original engine? Rebuild it and take care of those leaks.

LMAO (LaughingMyAssOff for you older farts)

Yeah, but just don't leave 'em in too long. Toxic Shock Syndrome you know. Just pull on that damn string and sling that sum#$%* somewhere.

Oh yeah, greetings Ned. Now we have someone to rival Sam

just remember, whatever you use
they all have to be changed out

Frankenkit · « **Reply #6 on:** March 15, 2009, 07:49:43 AM »

... I strongly suggest lighting the wick.

...and I strongly urge you not to ask your wife "Who lit the wick on yourkotex?" if you want to retain your teeth.

So....what you're saying Jerry is the bike could just die on ya out in the middle of the highway if ya don't change that bugger soon enough? And..........do ya think ya should pull off the road when ya just "fling it"

I could just see it now.........toolin' down the road in my truck behind Old Ned and having an old oily kotex bounce off my windshield!!!!! I would hafta think to myself......Whew!!!!!.....that was close!!!!!! He coulda killed that bike!!!!

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #8 on:** March 15, 2009, 11:04:02 AM »

It's a "napkin" for cryin out loud. No wicks to light.

That's the last technical tip I offer up here. You guys can just suffer from now on.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #9 on:** March 15, 2009, 11:13:40 AM »

...be sure to stick it on sticky side down. The other way is bad, no matter what the application.

Holy crap Jerry you seem to be an expert in the toxic shock field! Any particular reason?

I'm kidding but funny story on that... I got in trouble while I was on ship so I had to be the corpsman's b!t@h for a couple weeks. Some Navy cat came in and she was complaining of a horrible stench coming from her downtown bonanza. So I preped a table for the doc and he went in, she had TWO stuck up there. One was over a month old the other was about two and a half months old. Smelled worse than death. That's no lie! LOL

Frankenkit · « **Reply #11 on:** March 15, 2009, 01:50:25 PM »

'Ol Ned, I'm sorry we went from your leaky o-rings to... ... ... that. This really isn't representative of our entire forum, just a small section of really immature... (ok, I'm immature too, but...) you can still find valuable help here. Welcome to our big, weird happy family. We truly put the 'fun' in 'Dysfunctional'.

Damn Caave, that grossed me out, and it takes a LOT to gross me out.

Waaaaay too much info.........

Old Ned · « **Reply #14 on:** March 15, 2009, 05:28:44 PM »

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.

55,000 miles total, 40,000 on the K2 engine and 15,000 on the K8 engine (which now has 26,000 total on it). I still have the K2 and will ring and gasket it and reinstall it into this bike. The K8 is going into the K3 Cafe project. The K3 engine still exists but was rained in and frozen up.
No Kotex, the buckles on the belts are too fiddly. No tampons either, the dangly strings look tacky. One twisted Brawny on each side, driven in between 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 lasts about a week, less at 80 mph+.

I, too, am immature. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is not.

mrbreeze · « **Reply #15 on:** March 15, 2009, 05:34:20 PM »

Welcome to the club Ned and glad to hear you are using the Brawny instead!!!! I relate to your outlook on the aging thing too!!!

Caaveman82 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 15, 2009, 11:11:30 PM »

I thought I had typed it in my tampon story but aparently I did not, so...

Welcome!

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #17 on:** March 16, 2009, 07:57:57 AM »

Still no pictures. What's with this guy?

Uncle Ernie · « **Reply #24 on:** March 18, 2009, 09:17:48 AM »

Samer, we rode out to the quarry- I think I may have found a rock older than you! We're looking for the cheapest lab for carbon-dating to confirm.
I'm not made out of money, you know.
