Hello,
I'm kinda of new to the Motorcycle world.
Bought my first bike 2 weeks ago. I purchased a 1980 Honda cb750 Custom. I have started it and stared at it every day since, and took it on my first ride around the block this morning.
A little backgrond about me. I am currently a programmer but was a mehanic working on industrial mailing equipment for over 10 years prior.
I love to turn a wrench anytime I get, beats staring at a computer sometimes. Well anyway.. just wanted to say hello, before I started
posting questions.

Welcome to the forum! You've come to the right place.

Honda CBs are great bikes. Got any pics of yours?

One down.. four up for sure, although I only got to two up today.
Just playing and getting comfortable. Best ride of my life. It needs some work but I'm not afraid of that at all. Actually it is on a trickle charger right now. I'll try and post a picture soon.

Harpice,

You've made a serious mistake, buying that motorcycle. You will find it is an infection that slowly but inevitably consumes you. Soon, you won't be able to utter a sentence without a word that somehow relates to motorcycles.

You'll dream about riding. think about riding, talk about riding and food will remind you of that lunch you had on a ride three weeks ago...

Great addiction, huh? Welcome to the madness. 8)

Welcome Harpice...

That's a great looking bike you have there. Definately a heavy beast, but tons of fun to ride!!
