Topic: New Member from South Georgia

[Tanqueracer]

Hello everybody. I've been involved in roadracing cars for over 25years.

I owned several Hondas during my high school days. I owned a CB750SS for a few years in my early 20's and was forced to sell it when I got married. I always wanted to replace it and finally did this past January when I found one for sale in northern Fla. Purchased with only 9,064 miles on the clock, it's a great bike. Of course I had to rebuild the carbs and the brakes, replace the original Bridgestones, and polish out all the aluminum to get it going. I've put about 1,600 miles on it since March. It runs as good as I remember them running.
I also converted the front brakes to dual discs (Thanks Rangelov). I'm mostly a purist, so that will probably be the only "mod".

I was thrilled to run across this site and pleasantly suprised at the number of people who still have interest in these old Hondas.

Below is the best pic I have of the bike so far (before the DDC)
If any of you come to south Georgia near Savannah, please look us up.

too bad you missed the relay it went right by your door.  I lived in Jesup for 10 years and atlanta another 6. worked alot pf sports at effingham and s effingham.  I worked the infamous radio in the helmet game that got effingham in the state championship min the 80's

We've only been here for a year now. I lived here long ago and have been in Atlanta for the last 26 years.
I remember the radio in the helmet thing. Seems like somebody got in trouble over that for some reason.

What was the relay all about?

[wardenerd]

The relay is a ride carrying a rubber Godzilla all around the United States.  It started in Daytona at bike week and has carried the big guy all over the east coast now. I was part of the ride when some of us met at Rockingham dragway to watch a member race his bike.  You can find the trail and the progress on the forum.  some guys have really made an effort to keep the rally going

I'm sorry I missed that

We used to have a stuffed monkey in one of the car clubs I was in and whoever screwed up the worst the month prior had to carry the monkey around with them everywhere they went. That thing traveled all over the world before it was retired.

Hopefully yours will be as well traveled

Way cool dude . I was hoping there'd be someone close by. I ride with some of the local Savannians. They all have a variety of modern bikes. I ride into town 2 days a week for lunch with the gang.
I know what you mean about it being too hot. It's killing me after all these years in Atlanta where it never gets hot .
A Sunday pizza sounds good. I still don't have a helmet for my wife, but she'll let me out for a while 
You can contact me through my web page @ www.yanquetanque.com.
Looking forward to meeting you
