Bay Area Vintage Rider
« on: November 09, 2009, 03:38:19 PM »
Hey all, I finally got around to registering.  I've been riding bikes 28 of my 32 years.  I've owned quite a few bikes, but my current stable is:

62 Bonneville project

and my 76 CB750

I've also had quite a few old cars, my 53 Desoto being my current baby

I run the Bay Area Vintage Rider forum
http://bayareavintageriders.com/index.php

I have an art portfolio
http://vorhese.com/

And a blog
http://vorhese.blogspot.com/

What brings me to SOHC forum is I'm finally tackling the CB750. I've had it about 3 years and I finally got the motivation to start it.
Frame up rebuild and engine top end rebuild.  I started a thread on my forum:

I'll be using this website for a bunch of knowledge and resources. Thanks!

Lift with your knees, not your back.
ha.
Welcome aboard.
This for sure the best forum and the greatest group of people.
I can't wait to see what you do with the 750.

The CB750 will just be a mild restore, no engine mods or 100 point restorations. It will be a rider, work horse.  I'll make a project thread soon.
