Good day to everyone!
A few years back - I went and got my motorcycle license and ended up with a Honda Shadow 1100. I was scared to death of the thing, but enjoyed it while being terrified. Eventually I sold it and went bikeless for a long time. Last year, I ran across a Suzuki GT-550 for $100 and went and bought it and thats what started my enjoyment with vintage bikes. I didn't keep the 550 for very long, and didn't even get to work on it. But it was gone - and I maintained looking at all the photos.
On Saturday, a vintage bike popped up on Facebook that said "1972 Motorcycle - $500" and that was it. No description nothing. So I looked at it, trying to figure out what it was, eventually the seller confirmed it said "750" on the side of the engine, and I knew it had to be the CB750. So off I went to go look at it.
Honestly, It was nicer than I expected it to be. There was only one photo on the listing.
The seller informed me that it was his Father-In-Law's who recently passed, and it had sat in the garage for 4 years because he wasn't able to ride. I loved it - and immediately loaded it up. Much to my surprise, the seller then handed me the title from 1984, so I can I can roughly guess that I am possibly the 3rd owner.
So I've never repaired a motorcycle, done any motor work, or anything but here I am. I've dove in on this one so far, and I know it will start with fuel poured into the cylinders, so I am hoping a good carb clean might get it up and running and then I can go on to the other fun stuff!
I wanted to say hello to everyone and I've already found numerous information here that has helped me!
