Just thought I would drop in and say hello from the Anoka/Saint Francis Minnesota area. Just stumbled across this forum while doing some google searches on a few things
I will give you a little bit about my motorcycle back ground. When I was 16 I got my first motorcycle, a brand new (year old model) Suzuki GSXR750 crotch rocket. Not being a sport bike guy at heart I sold it after 4 short months (The next owner totaled it 4 days later) and bought a 1978 sportster from my uncle and gave it the bobber treatment. I drove that for a few years before selling it for another sportster but had a pacho hart tail frame, 4 inch stretch up and out, and 38 deg rake with an old denver front end on it. Drove that for a short time before selling it only to not have a bike for a few years. Then in 2001 I decided it was time for another bike and I picked up a 2001 Bigbog Pitbull brand new. 107" S&S, baker 6 speed, all the goodies. 109hp at the rear tire. Well, after a year of a $550 a month bike payment I sold it and went back to my roots, old school choppers and had 2 Yamaha XS650s I built and an old 77 CB750 chopper then about 8 years ago the sport bike bug hit me once again for some silly reason and for the last 8 years I have owned another rocket. Well, I had a kid 4 years ago, Im 8 months away from 40, and I just didnt like the sport bike thing anymore so that leads me to here, I just picked up a 1979 CB750 (Yes it is a DOHC) in a AMEN hardtail frame, TC Bros forward controls, risers, 15" bars, Mid 90's sportster front end, and a fresh motor and it runs beyond great! It has a total rat rod/bike look going an and I love that look but I have only had it a few days but intend to ride it and this winter, tear it completely down and make a few minor changes, powder coat the frame and paint the tins while still keeping a rat bike look.
The speedo will be the first thing to go as its not even hooked up yet. Just need to put the new longer cables on it for the controls and it will be ready to ride. I cant wait!
Is there anyone else from the Minnesota area on here as well? Would be really cool to meet a few fellow CB guys.
