Hello from Mission Viejo, California
« on: September 13, 2010, 08:58:51 PM »
Hi. I am an Englishman living here in Mission Viejo. Growing up in London in the 1980's we raced around on our 2 strokes Water cooled Yamaha RD's etc. My first road bike was my 84 Yamaha RD50MX, I tricked it out with a Melossi kit and Micron pipe, Boysen reeds etc.
It was the fastest 50cc in East London at 70mph....that was in 84. I have had other bikes since.
Anyway just finished building my solar powered used vegetable oil refinery in the garage for our 1985 Mercedes 300D.
Ok so my next project I decided on a Honda CB750 and buiding a cafe racer.  I have always wanted to build I bike and this seems a challenge that will be blood sweat and tears but doable.

I found this bike on Craig's list  ita a 1976 CB750F supersport http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/mcy/1880867247.html

....The charity told me it was going to be junked on Friday or take it for $200 with title, good frame, motor and transmission.
So its in the garage and being stripped down...also the wife is helping me.

I would of preffered a K model but beggers cant be choosers as my nan would say....anyway just wanted to introduce myself and show how deep I'm in!  :)
Sometimes...the hard thing and the right thing are the same thing!

Best of luck with the 750. I had a blast rebuilding mine and an even bigger blast riding her around now. Post up a project thread so we can keep track of it all. Have fun!
