New from floridah
« on: September 29, 2009, 08:29:02 AM »
Hello all, name is Dan. Just recently was introduced into the world of Cafe racers and classic japanese bikes through a friend of mine. I've grown up around cars most of my life and most of my friends have sport bikes (which I was never really into.) I do all my own stunts (work) to my car and or projects. I've owned my 95 240sx for 3 years now and have put way to much time and effort into it, but what can I say motor vehicles are a passion of mine. I've taken the car up to Deals Gap (tail of the dragon) a few times to run the mountain roads and would really like to bring a bike up with me next time.

I'm really trying to track down a mid 70's CB750 to start a project of my own (need to finish my motor first though). Any tips for a first-timer would be neat!

Here are some pictures of my car and what its been through.

Here is after about a year worth of work (all suspension stuff, and sticky tires)

up in the mountains


Here is what happened last november :( :



So instead of junking the car and getting the new shell, I save this one (I couldnt let it go!):





2 months ago, putting the car through hell again after the rebuild. sadly the motor lost oil pressure and I blew the motor on the way home. But its up and running again thanks to a junkyard motor.

Looks like I'll be picking up a CB550 next weekend as a first bike.
