Hello from Aus
« on: December 04, 2008, 08:29:36 PM »
Hi guys, My name is Mick and i have been browsing this forum for some time now, i have owned 18 Honda 750/4's over the years starting with a K1 in 1979. I am currently building a K4 750 that i bought a few years ago, it has a RC {Russ Collins} crank and rods, venolia pistons, 32mm KR smooth bores, Barnett clutch, 43mm Suzuki gsxr 1100 front end with 3.5 inch front wheel and brakes, shortened gsxr 1100 swingarm with a 4.5 inch rear wheel with rear disc and set up for twin shocks, fully braced frame and a few other goodies. I call this little beast my Retro Rocket.

Welcome aboard Mick.
A friend of my wife lives in Canberra, real sweet girl. She was the backcatcher for the Austrialian National Women's Softball Team.
My wife met her when the World Championships were held in St. john's Newfoundland back in 1993.

Would really love to visit sometime.

Good Luck with the build.
