Great site, and I intend to add my Cb750 eventually. You actually helped me...if you are ripping into that bike, I shouldn't be that scared to rip into my old bike.

Sweet, never be afraid to defile old iron... steel. UJMs rock and the 750 was the superbike of the day. I can't wait to tear into mine (litterally, I already started stripping it and lopped the tail off, and I promised myself I'd stay away from it until my twins were done) She's going to be the "Squid" bike.

I have a 1990 CZ 125 somewhere in the garden. I don't think they changed that bike for it's entire production run.

A friend of mine ran a Jawa 350 for a couple of years. I don't think he ever made it back from mine to his - about 80 miles without a breakdown...

He only got rid of it a year or so again, if my girlfriend would have let me I'd have had it off of him...

everything with two wheels that I own is a project *L.

Ill have to sign up... I have yet to pay more then 200 bucks for a bike, but they dont end up staying cheap thyats for sure. But It gives you a real sense of satisfaction doesnt it?
