New Guy York, PA
« on: September 21, 2011, 10:47:14 AM »
Hi folks!  Been lingering for awhile and I am impressed by the knowledge and comraderie on the site. 
I have been into bikes my whole life and have had 3 CB750's.  Current 750 is a '70 KO.  Needs some work but runs.  Just trying to get the time and motivation to get it where I want it.

Other projects include 76 CB360, '74-75 CB 350 (locked engine), '69BSA A65 F, '68 Norton Commando Fastback, '76 H2,  Daughters 2002 XR 70 and a '66 Galaxie 500.  Also remodelling of house. 
No time for sleep, juggling the work, bikes, kid and house. 

Hopefully, I can contribute along the way.  Feel free to drop me a line if you are in the area. 

Jim

Thanks guys. 
Hey Larry, I see you say the yam 650 was the worst bike you ever owned.  Just curious what made it so?  I never had one, but always thought it would be a good street tracker project like I have seen many times.  I always thought they were pretty stout.....
Also see you had an RD 350.  Great little 2 strokes.  I had a '76 RD 400 that I kick myself for selling.  Wish I had it back.

The 650 Seca was slow, bad gas mileage, fairly heavy-but it was reliable.  That was the time when the government was putting pressure on all manufacturers to control pollution so the result was a poor performing vehicle. Now the R5, RD350/400 were another story-great bikes...Larry
