hello from ks
« on: January 30, 2007, 05:34:06 PM »
this summer i bought a 1974 CB750 for $500. i rode it all summer after only spending a couple hundred on it. when the weather turned sour i tore it down to bare frame. now I'm in the process of putting it back together. it is going to be completely old school cafe'ed out. I've done almost everything myself. I'm learning sooooo much, and i still don't know enough. one of my best friends is Honda certified from back in the day, so he's been helping alot. i think this sight is going to be extremely valuable to me in the future, its already taught me quite a bit. anyway, I'm looking forward to sharing in my new found love of these old bikes, and hopefully i can contribute some knowledge of my own.

I live in hutchinson ks, i work at a small 'mom and pops' auto parts store, I'm divorced with two little boys, and my girlfriend is a wonderful young lady with one daughter.
