Hello from NC.
« on: May 23, 2011, 05:38:24 PM »
  Just wanted to say hello,long time lurker first time poster. Been a fan of the CB 750 since i bought my first in 73,an orange metallic beauty sitting on the floor of a Honda dealer in Va. Bummed the down payment from my dad and had him co-sign a loan and rode her home,purchase price of $1495.00.Rode her for 5 years and 29k miles with nothing more than a couple of tires,a chain, a set of plugs and a set of points.Now after going thru,Kaw's Suzi's a Duc,a Buell and several Harleys (still got one) i'm back in the market for another K to tinker with.I have learned a lot just lurking here and hope to make a few friends, learn more and find another 750.I have been in the automotive and motorsports / racing field all my life and hope i can contribute to the forum in some small way.
 Thanks for having me.
  Bill

Hello and welcome from the Piedmont!
It is a proven fact that modifying a SOHC Honda in any way will bring on the apocalypse.
