Mark Griffiths, from Calgary Canada
« on: May 22, 2008, 08:02:24 PM »
I have 2 bikes: a '72 CB750 that I restored over the winter, and a '74 that is just a bunch of parts. I ride the '72 anywhere and everywhere and it gives me no problems. There aren't a lot of these bikes where I live, so it's great to be part of a community. I've posted photos of the restoration under my name in the member pages. Have a look. The paint is a close match to Flake Sunrise Orange, and it really gets noticed.

Anyone from Canada?

All the best,

Mark

Welcome, Mark. I'm from upstate NY, but we've got a bunch of folks from Canada. I took a look at the Regions/Canada/Prairies forum (assuming I got the Canadian geography right), but there's not really much in that forum.

Your '72 turned out sweet. Nice job! I like your goal for the '74 ("from ugly to less ugly").

Here's a link to Mark's member pics for the lazy like me. He's got a *very* nice spread for the teardown and rebuild of his '72.

Mark

Welcome from Kimberley BC.  Just a nice ride through the Kootenay Pass and into some excellent riding.  Stop in some time.
