One of our own- Magazine Feature on garretcb750
« on: December 16, 2009, 07:19:27 AM »
Heads up boys and girls, one of our own members (a fellow Canadian at that), garretcb750, and his 750 cafe racer are the feature bike in the Jan/Feb issue of Motorcycle Mojo. I had the opportunity to meet him and his girlfriend and check out his bike at the Wharf Rat's Rally in Digby, Nova Scotia this past Sep. Great guy and a beautiful bike.

You can check it out online at    www.motorcyclemojo.com

Note: I just checked out the website, apparently the new issue will not be available online for another week.

There is a bike on page 33 of the free oct/nov issue that many of us have seen before.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Congrats garretcb750.  Cool!

There was a CB750 cafe racer writeup in a magazine a few months ago.  I should have bought the magazine but for some reason I didn't.  I think the magazine was Cafe Racer or something like that.  I can't remember.  Did anyone else see that?

I knew I had seen that bike before!! Great ride...and almost as good of a magazine!

It is the ONLY magazine that I actually subscribe to.
