New Guy from Tejas
« on: December 07, 2010, 11:25:00 AM »
Hello all,

I have always been a greaser. Started with a 68 Camaro when I was 16yrs old and have always admired 750s. Somehow I met an old Bandito and he helped me put together a bike. It's a 76 frame and everything else is from 71. I am still working on things before she hits the pavement. Her name is Gracie.

I am in San Antonio.

For some reason I can't see the pic but no matter, welcome to the forum from a Texanite!
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Hello. I have 4 into 2 trumpets to put on hopefully this week. I am painting the airbox tonight. I need new tires and some polishing to do. Also need to install blinkers I found and rewire the headlight. Then other odds and ends not to mention getting registration, insurance, etc.

Sheesh
