Seattle, WA! I'm back on a Honda after 5 years for babies!
« on: March 26, 2011, 12:49:50 PM »
Hello all,

I just replaced my old 1978 CB750K that I had to sell when the second baby came and we needed to move. The replacement bike is a much better starting point for a full restoration than the daily rider I had before. Actually, it is 100% original and parked since '83. I'm just now into the carb OH and tank treatment, a few cosmetic items and tires; that's it! It's such a treat for me to be more financially stable and able to follow my gut on a cream-puff CB750. I'll be on the road soon.

While I was shopping for the CB, I stumbled across a low mileage '68 C90; another SOHC legend and a bike I used to own before I sold it all for the babies. Again, this one is a much better copy than the one I used to have and I'm sure I'll end up fixing it up too.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be needing help soon as I get a bit further along.

Hello to all my Pacific Northwest Brothers! It's great to be back on a CB!  8)

Welcome back! Hopefully you will be on the road in time for the relay? What? You didn't know about the relay? Have you been living under a rock? Check these threads:

Congrats on the new rides by the way.

I've been conscripted! I guess I better work on getting my bike reliable since the whole world now depends upon it... ;)
