Picke up my second bike on sunday.

1980 honda CB750F super sport. New paint(not because of fall), new pipes, new chain, k&n filters, 37k kms(23k miles). *EDIT* pics now in my album.

And since I was on a spending spree decided to pick up a new Alpinestars T-Venom Airflo jacket. Fits nice and everything is where it should be. Only thing is it's sort of a b!tch to do a full shoulder check because of shoulder pads. I know not the greatest but I can deal with it.

What is in those shoulder pads... football gear?

hahah awesome, but yeah I don't know. Seems like they'll help if I crash but hopefully that doesn't happen.

The bike is loads of fun compared to my previous bike. Lots of power in any gear and the pipes sound so mean

Congrats! I'm sure you will have tons of fun with this bike.

I love the sound of the older aircooled I-4's. My KZ sounds pretty mean for what it is.

I second that. The older aircooled I-4's are a fun ride and you can sometimes find them for next to nothing which convenientally in my favorite price. If you do a bit of surgery on the pipes to you can make them louder than anything else on the road but still have that factory look. Scared the hell out of a bunch of harley riders the other day. Screaming eagle? I think not
