NOVA rides this summer
« on: April 08, 2009, 01:43:30 PM »
I'm working on a 1974 CB750 cafe project now. Hopefully she will be road worthy by the end of May. I want to get her out of the garage and meet other vintage Honda riders in Northern Virginia. Is anybody up for a ride?

count me in.
I am currently unemployed so I am up for a ride nearly any day it doesn't rain.
Where are you located? I am in Centreville, and Clifton has some nice roads minutes from my house.

Sorry about the unemployment thing, but ya a ride sounds good. I'm currently in the process of getting my 1974 K4 up and running. I hope to have it running ugly by the end of May. The paint will come later. I live in Warrenton, so I'm not too far from you. Clifton does have some nice roads and some nice houses. All it takes is money. Sounds good I will ping you when I'm ready to go.

Thanks

I could be in on a ride.  Let me know. 

And I believe a ride to Hooters is plenty long enough.

I got in 90 miles of backroads today, trying to put together a nice little scenic tour on my area... I was able to log those 90 miles without leaving a 20 mile radius (close enough to my place to send someone back for my buddys trailer or tools if need be.

I take it that the results of the charging tests were positive?

Classic motorcycle day in Butler's Orchard tomorrow? http://www.classicmotorcycleday.org/directions.html#

I've got graduation to attend in the morning, but I'm planning on heading out there in the afternoon.

Assuming it's not pissing down rain.

If anyone's interested.
