I just realized I havent done this yet.
« on: December 22, 2009, 05:20:32 AM »
Hello All,
 First off,allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sean,I'm in my early 30s and live in North West Indiana.
Ive just recently got a bike again,no stranger to riding, my 1st bike was a 1978 Honda CB 400, I was 16 and my father taught me to ride it. After a few spills we restored it. Fast forward a few years and I drove a Suzuki DR650 enduro. Then in late 1999 I purchased a 2000 black and orange CBR600F4, rode for three seasons and in the fall of 2001 I hit a deer and totaled the bike.
 
 So here I am now, been wanting to get a bike for years,but couldn't justify 10,000 dollars for to-days 600 class sport bikes, I'm a father and a husband so you know were my money priorities are.
 
 And lo and behold I found a 1978 CB750F Super Sport! I feel I got a killer deal at 840 dollars! AND its all there unmolested and runs like a top.
So here is me and some of the toys. The 1st pic is the 1978 CB750 after the cafe process has started.

Nice 750 although I have to say I like the shiny purple colour more (the before pic). Very cool looking hot rod as well. Welcome to the Forum.

cheers
Andy
