N00b in Illinois
« on: September 21, 2009, 12:56:25 PM »


I'm Justin and I have a 1976 CB750.  It's my first bike and I look forward to many miles of riding. I took the MSF class this weekend, passed, and I'm getting my license tomorrow.  I am located in Grayslake Illinois and will be taking my first few rides in sothern Wisconsin on some relaxing 2-lane highways.

The site looks to be a wealth of info with helpful members, so I'm happy to be here and look forward to learing a ton about my bike pictured below.

Welcome!  Bike looks to be in good shape.  Hows it run?

Good on you for taking the MSF course.  Remember, the learning never stops, ever, or you die.  Aside from that it's pretty fun ;)

Got gear?

Thanks to my buddy coming over, it runs good.  It was only running on 2 cylinders when I got it. ;D

Yep, got a jacket, boots, good gloves, and a helmet.  It should be a trick question, but there are a lot of idiots out there..

Ah such a nice example of a 750. If ever in Rockford let me know. We'll go ride around.

Hopefully you'll be able to ride better than Ink can drive.  :D  :-*
