Hello!
I want to introduce myself and tell a little about myself!
First of, I'm from Belgium and I'm not a native english speaker so prepare for some grammar mistakes!
Ever since I was a little child I dreamed of riding a bike into the sunset.
While my friends were dreaming about the latest sportbikes, my dream was a cb750!
I'm 22 of age and never had the time to immerse myself into the world of motorcycles.
When I was 18, I was working seven days a week. And the time I had left, I was helping my parents.
My father had a full-time day job and my mother had several operation on her spine.
About a year ago my father had a cerebral infarction and he is still recovering.
Now I'm 22, and I'm selling bathrooms for one of the marketleaders in the sector.
I have more time and I'm lucky to have a good paying job to help my parents.
Never ever did they asked me for money or help!
But I am lucky enough to have such great parents who did everything they could to raise me to the person I am today.
So every month I anonymously send my parents enough money to help them get by comfortably.
And yesterday my dream became reality!
I am now a proud owner of a '79 cb750kz.
The overal state of the bike is poor and non running but it was a bargain.
The plan I have with the bike is to build a cafe racer out of it.
Since I am not mechanicly skilled I was hoping to complete my dream with the help of this forum.
As the title stated, I'm a long time lurker but first time poster.
I have seen that this forum is filled with skilled, friendly people with the same passion.
I Hope to be accepted by the cb750 forum community.
Greetings,
Ricardo
