Hello from South Australia
« on: April 15, 2018, 04:11:47 AM »
Hi there. 
Bought a 1976 CB750F1 Super Sport imported from the US last year. Slowly working through a cafe resto.
Looking to share ideas and maybe a few questions along the way.

Current (running) bike is a 1993 CB750 (Seven Fifty)
Previous bikes include various CB 185, 250N, 250RS, a VT250 and a XR250 for good measure.

Cheers
Dave750SS

Welcome from Colorado but currently in the USVI.

Glad to see another F'r. Watch out for that scallywag mate Terry down on your island. He really bad mouths our beloved F's.  ;)

Forgot to say I lived in Adelaide too ( 1990 or 91, can't remember, it was a very drunk year ) that's where I got my first 750/4, a K2 which I swapped my GSX11 for at Bulldog m/cycles on main north rd.
I kept that bike for maybe 10 years with a few others to supplement for parts and eventually sold everything to Terry long after I moved back to melbourne
I lived in Windsor Gardens just off North East Rd, near the pub ( hence the pissy activities),
i blame Terry
