Guys

Was at Rivington Barn (Near Bolton) UK the other Sunday where bikers of all kinds meet. There were two other 550/4s there besides mine plus a 400/4 and a 750. Normally just me, all the other guys thought we we on a club meet!.

My old 550/4 is still going stong with a mate of mine in the North East though and you see a few at classic bike shows. Will look out at the Classic Jap Bike show at Donnington Park this weekend.

Any one in UK going?


Ride safe

adam,if i had my druthers i would move to arizona.

I lived in Sedona AZ for 3 1/2 years.  It is gorgeous riding country..  lots of choices for scenic twisties..  It was a good place for me to learn to ride.

Its not the oven that phoenix is...  gets a tiny bit of snow, definitely decent riding weather for most of the year.

yea,i drove a truck out that way about 12 years ago,i would definetly love to go back there some day.

Hey Adam,Yeah, it would be good to hook up with you before you move on to better places. I have an old growing up buddy that lives in Suisun City (by Vallejo) that just bought a new BMW.We went up to Sonora/Angels Camp in October and had a nice putt. He said he would be up for a ride where you are talking about (the coast... Point Reyes) or up into Napa (wine country). I will definitely let you know before we do it. Probably in March or April when all the cold weather has passed.

Hi Cadler, I have a few old ones I ride in Springfield Delaware County, Pa. I go to the Oley and Whiterose meet every year. There you will meet lots of old 750 riders. geocities.com/indian440

We are nieghbors, I live in Drexel hill, i also went to oley last year in the rain, it was a bad day to go but we went anyway. what are you riding? I will be out in a red cb450 or a black and purple cb750.

[cadler]

checking the frame serial numbers from k0-k8 they went from 1000001 to 2861935 or a possible 1,861,934 bikes.
I do not think that they actually rolled out that many bikes.

[seebee750]

This time last year I had 16 CB750s. I know another person with 4 , another with 5 and a guy with 7 and a guy with 3 and lastly an ambitious individual with more than 30.
If we were not so stuck on these bikes perhaps we could bring ourselves to share the wealth and sell some.There would be more on the road if we increase the size of the ownership pool.
I have sold 11 of my CB750s in the last year and have limited myself to 5. Even so I can only drive one at a time for you to see.
There are many CB750s in my area they are just not daily drivers anymore.
I bet you cant buy just one.
There are so many out there and they ane cheaper by the dozen.

Don't want to hijack this thread but the guy down the road with the 400f got in my face yesterday when I was teaching my daughter to parallel park behind his van. "Hey, you, don't use my van as a backing point!!". It got pretty verbal after that and I resisted getting out of the car, (I need to keep my job) so we pulled away. Was he a f*tard or should I have been using cones or something?. Was he right? Was I wrong?

Hard to say.  Any car parked on a public street is fair game for parking practice, and as long as the car doesn't get hit there's nothing the owner can do about it except move his car.  On the other hand, I would probably be a little nervous if I saw that my car was being used for that purpose (if my car weren't a POS, that is). 

[dusterdude]

i can see his point,but he didnt have to be an ass about it either.

Hi Cadler, I have 2 sandcast 750s and an all original 70 from westchester Honda ,4300 mile 70 KO. We should hook up for Oley this year. You can check out a couple of my bikes at www.geocities.com/indian440. I'm originally from Drexel Hill.  I have alot of old american bike friends but few asian enthusiasts. Give me an Email at elisent@comcast.net

[toycollector10]

Jeez, talk about luck, a sandcast and a K0, but I always say that 'we all make our own luck in life'...chees

[canttuckmyshirt]

i see ads just such from time to time on craigslist and in the paper here...never contacted them to find out if it worked or not...

Unky Ernie made a funny... 

I just got my 72 CB500 from craig's list... $500 with all sorts of aftermarket part. GREAT DEAL.

I see a guy here in Indianapolis running a 74 or 5 750/4.  Looks to be in great shape, but I never have a chance to stop him.  You will see me this summer on a  blue 550F.  This town used to be lousy with them, but its a rare day anymore.

Iowa is a place where you don't see too many 750's... well, you do see a lot, but they are sitting in piles at salvage yards. Ive lived here all my life and have seen maybe 2 out on the road in the last 4 years(not counting the three I have). If you want to get rid of a 750 ( and i dont know why you would?!?!?) dump it here... things usually rust and rot in the lovely Iowa weather
