Hey everyone reading this. I am a brand new motorcycle rider. I just picked up my first bike. It is a 1976 Honda cb750 alot is custom on it. Mainly a cruiser, nothing close to a Cafe. Which is more my style. I just prefer the look and feel. I picked her up for a measly $500 bones. Granted primer was shot, rear brakes were toast, left carb had a horrid problem of puttering out, and still working on the electrical cluster ****. So i am putting everything i got into this. Went from hot rods to bikes. Much happier this way.
Will post pictures before and after once i figure this thing out. First time Forum for me. So i am here to figure out more about bikes in general and also help building her. (mainly electrical)
Greetings from McCall Idaho

Re: Greetings from McCall Idaho
Hello Joe, what do ya know. Do you think you could post those pictures here, so the people who don't use FB could see them. It's really easy. There is an Upload Attachment button right below the Post a Reply.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

I tried about a dozen times. I even tried to re-size the images. Keeps telling me the images are too large.
Oh yea, we got HUGE taters. Size of boulders, honest to god!

Welcome to TMW neighbor! I'm just south of you, in northern Utah.
How's the riding in Idaho? And good luck with your bike, that sounds like a hell of a fall project you've got.

Welcome to TMW Joe!
I hope you can sort out the picture upload issue as I would like to see your CB750.
I have a facebook account but I never use it. I even have one friend on facebook, complete with lots of spam. I am still contemplating the consequences of defriending Mrs. Hanson.
