📍 Bloomington, Minnesota, United States 📅 Riding since 1963
My lastest purchase was this vintage 1978 750F off ebay motors.. it's big feature is the 9,000 actual miles on it.. new head and cam gaskets and new Viton valve seals have been added.. a full carb rebuild, new chain and refabricated seat as well.. it now looks pretty good for a 33 year old bike.. and it now runs like a fairly new bike.. could use paint this winter though.. About me, i've been riding since around age 10.. I started out with mini bikes to then went on to building 20" stingray's with my buddy's that we used to slap lawnmower engines to.. The only brakes we had back then were the soles of your shoes.. i'm surprised, i lived through it.. lol.. I was finally legal to ride at age 16.. my first real bike was a fire engine red 1964 Honda Dream.. My second bike was a 1968 650 BSA Lightning.. I've owned many Honda's since and even a few Harleys.. but i think i'll always' be drawn to all the fine vintage stuff.. Update 2/1/14: this bike has had a bit of a transformation since purchasing it.. I've added a vintage café look to the whole bike.. Hope you like it.. I've also added a ghost flame paint job this last year.. The finishing touches I still have to be added this spring are brand new Honda badges and a gold drive chain.. It's very close to being done.. I'm planning to do a café Goldwing next..
