Took the 550 out for a brisk ride this saturday... Not bad for riding in December in Canada. Lol

Not quite out on the road, but at a friends house after the maiden test ride since getting it and making it road worthy.

You and I are on the shortlist now of SOHC owners who also have a Valkyrie (mine is a '97 Standard). Love 'em all!

Beautiful day in Seattle. Took the bike on its first Winter ride since I've owned it. She's cold blooded, but can't say no to a sunset ride at the beach.

Thanks, man! I appreciate that.

Although my bike would be running better if I spent more time cleaning the carbs and less time trying to take pretty pictures.

All great shots. Makes me want to get out there.

DHall57: The Anteres Red beast is looking good. Got a warm place in my heart
for this bike as I bought a new one in 76 and put about 30k on it with an 811 kit.
One problem though in your pic, that horse will never fit in that bath tub. What's up
with that? Stickman...

dhall57 · « **Reply #3518 on:** January 06, 2013, 05:53:25 AM »

Hey SM. Thanks for the nice words. I'm rather fond of the K6 also there my favorite of the K series 750's. Im still looking for a left #2 inner 341 pipe. This would make me a complete set to put back on it. Hope I can find one in 2013. If you run across a decent one let me know. Do you have any pics of your old 6, if so post a few. Bet you wish you still had it. Tell me a little history on it. This picture was took not far from my house. Been by this gravel road many times, but yesterday was the first time I went down it. This is out in the country with several small farms around. The horse is humongous, hard to tell by my pic how large it is. My first thought was its a Clydesdale. Don't know the story about the old tub, its just sitting there inside the fence. My guess is a watering trough for Mr Ed

scunny · « **Reply #3519 on:** January 06, 2013, 09:38:30 AM »

At the Cust Hotel yesterday. poor little bikey broke it's throttle cable shortly after and now shelters in a shed out country. pick her up next week.

Alright. I don't have any of Cassandra yet, but here are some pics technically taken with her out on the road! These pics were taken the end of last summer.

Pennsylvania and her rolling hills

Such a beautiful day that was!

This is a buddy of mine and his R-titled 2005 Kawasaki Ninja 250 that we put together from two totaled ones.

Now if spring would just come around for me to get some more!

Stop at the GET & GO in downtown Climax,NC today on the KO and ran into a very nice couple on this futuristic 3 wheel Can-Am Spyder.
He said he saw me from across the road and could tell it was a old CB and was hoping I would stop. He's a old Honda rider himself and said he hadn't seen a 750 in years. Said he never thought he would like the Can-Am, but he loves it. We stood around for 30 min. or so talking about back in the 70's and the old Honda's.

nccb · « **Reply #3522 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:03:33 PM »

I don't like those can-ams. I prefer that that little blue thing in the background

dhall57 · « **Reply #3523 on:** January 06, 2013, 02:39:22 PM »

I'm with you NC. There just a little to far out for me.

stickman · « **Reply #3524 on:** January 06, 2013, 06:17:20 PM »

Dhall57: I sold my 76K in the late 70's and no photos have survived over the years.
It was a great ride that carried me faithfully to Calif., Canada, Pa, New Orleans and o Daytona and Myrtle Beach more times than I care to count. My riding buddy had a 74K Boss Maroon Metallic like yours and it too was a screamer with an 836 kit.

As you may know or guessed, I occasionally buy and resell some old school bikes including my favorite, the sohc 750. Back about 5 years ago, I sold this bike to a fella named Mike in
Willmington, NC who may be or was on this site.

It was very much like my old 76 with a stock engine and it was hard to let it go. Looks very much like my old 76K and kinda like yours too.

Here is my current project, a K0 that I am saving from the life of a chopper. Just snapped this one for you after sitting the tank and side covers in place. The HM300's go on tomorrow. And yes, its in my dining which is heated and my garage is not. It's starting to take shape and should be completed in a couple weeks. A good way to wile away the cold winter days tinkering on my favorite bike.

I will keep my eyes open for your stock pipe you are looking for. I see some occasionally.
