....or maybe Sam you can tell us inexperienced forum tweakers how to move things instead of sunning yourself in the good ol' US of A and drinking all their MGD

Good evening your Loordship, as the topic starter, you can move your own thread by going to the bottom of the page and by clicking on move thread in the bottom left hand corner, you'll figure when you get that far, any problems, ask SteveD or Bob Wessner to do it for you.
As for sunning myself, It's not stopped pi$$ing down all day

beers OK though.

Regards your humble servant Sam.

Word has it that Sam has applied for a Green Card with Rocking M sponsoring him.

I'd rather cum work with you Bobby, must be a great job searching for new material for the babe thread.

Is it hard ?

I don't have much to add to this forum yet but i have read everything and spend just as much time here as in the "regular" forums. I find it heaps easier to access things i am interested in the way it is now. I wouldn't expect this section to have the turnover of the other forums as this is more specialised, Ilike things just the way they are now....

I truley believe that we are a very rare breed that builds the old cb750's and cb550's in a high performance format. Most of the cb750's
i come across are either stock or a thrashed pile. Nice high performance built cb750's are alot more rare as are the peformance parts
for them. Also it could be that time of year and the economy situation as to the low input on all the posts. Just my 2 cents.

I go along with what Mick says and think that this is more of an information section rather than a question and answer section.
There is possibly a lot of SOHC members who are unable to contribute to this section and use it as a reference/information facility only.

articblue · « **Reply #31 on:** November 18, 2009, 06:05:22 PM »

I enjoy looking at the high performance area and the builds since it gives me ideas that i'll maybe be able to tackle.
If it was lumped together I'd have to say it'd be tougher to find stuff related to getting these bikes really fast.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #32 on:** November 18, 2009, 06:08:55 PM »

It sounds like we are on the right tracks guys, good idea Rod.

J.Webster Designs · « **Reply #33 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:29:17 PM »

i gotta say that i find it handy.... This is the first CB750 that i have had, I know nothing about these old motors and what kind of potential they have... That is the reason that i used this spot to post my questions about a hipo/street/strip motor. I knew that the people that i needed to see that thread were going to be lurking through here, and its a little easier for them to see that post.....

i say its a good thing....

von_Wanderlust · « **Reply #34 on:** November 19, 2009, 12:51:47 AM »

I enjoy this forum and come and check here everyday. I learn by soaking up information, so I thank everyone that is sharing their valuable knowledge and experience with chappies like myself.

voxonda · « **Reply #35 on:** November 19, 2009, 01:23:27 AM »

It is a good thing, IMHO, due to the fact it lowers the treshold for a lot of people to see there is a wealth of knowledge available.

lordmoonpie · « **Reply #36 on:** November 19, 2009, 01:42:03 AM »

Well this *IS* a good discussion isn't it ;-)

Naively I assumed that most people wanted to tweak their bikes to perform better, I didn't consider this wasn't the norm....

Sam, it is very tedious work. I have to sift through several hundred images before I can find some suitable to post. That Wessner guy has the eyes of a hawk.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #38 on:** November 19, 2009, 01:16:22 PM »

I think he spends most of his time on the page you made you own Bobby, can't imagine why though.

Hannibal Smith · « **Reply #39 on:** November 19, 2009, 02:46:02 PM »

Brand new to the forum, but the "race only" feeling I got from the sub-section description/instructions had me contemplating where I should post my issues.

I have built road bikes and "track only" stuff, but my issue was in between IMO- What happens if this build goes street legal (I use the term loosely), because it just might.

It is just one of those knowledge base things, I want info from the race crowd, even if it is for a street bike. I felt that if I posted my issue in the "Normal" segment, I wouldn't get the info I was after.....

Anyway, back to work.

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #40 on:** November 19, 2009, 03:30:44 PM »

Wellcome Hann, dont worry about posting in the wrong place, we'll just kick you out if we don't like it.

Post away mate, or just ask questions.

Sam.

Im with Rod - the specialised section is useful for keeping to concentrated. More is not always better

i often read this forum and wish i could have some input.... when i read herei am often looking and hoping for an awesome horse power boosting easy mod that will make my bike scream.... or if i ever can afford it put some money into this old thing............... its another form of the inspiration thread

JIMLARCH · « **Reply #43 on:** November 24, 2009, 10:36:01 AM »

This is a great forum and I enjoy it immensely. My only complaint is that it is enthusing me too much to spend money that I can't really afford.

I've been looking for a forum like this for years. I will be posting quite frequently here. I wish they would have more articles on stuff like this in magazines.
