Squid from St. Louis
« on: June 11, 2007, 12:36:56 PM »
Greetings all.  I'm new to riding bikes, but not new to bikes.  Used to work for a guy here in town selling all sorts of classics (Ariel, BSA, Honda, Norton, Triumph, etc, etc) which probably drove my interest into classics even further.  I'm hoping to pick up a 77 CB750K this week[end] and start learning to ride.  I'm actually getting the bike partially out of necessity - my car isn't working right now (electrical/ecu related), however I've been wanting a bike for quite some time.  I hope some day to be able to turn it into a cafe racer or a rickman look-a-like; I love both body styles.  Most likely though it'll stay stock and I'll pick up a better condition 750 and mod that one.  Who knows.  I've got time.

Glad I found this site, I'll most likely be tapping some brains for carb info in the near future.

Cheers,

Jon

He's passed through dozens or more, most in very good condition.  You can check out his inventory at http://michaelsmotorcycles.com.  Also be sure to check out the sold inventory.  If advertising isn't allowed, I apologize & will remove.
