Me Too!
 

Inspired by Dr. Higgins and Dr. Hahl, and remember I am now retired and still crazy after all these years, I took this badass beast through the countryside and up to the end of Skookumchuck Creek. I should have started earlier. It was HOT. And Fun.

And let's raise our glasses once again to the generosity of Aaron (BlueSkyJaunte) who GAVE me this motorcycle. I had only to get it shipped to me. Years ago now. He requested only that I show a picture of me riding it which, technically, I still have not done but here is a pic of me smiling near the motorcycle. You'll just have to trust me when I say I rode the darned thing.

Is that a 750?

Trying this again. Yes, it is a 750.

I bought a new 750 that looked the same except for it was black. Not sure of the year...I think 78

A great bike.
I had just got married and we took it up to the UP of MI for a 4 day trip. Fun times.

You're going to turn that into a Bobber, right?

I'd keep it as is. But come up with a classier paint job. Bonus, you only have to paint the tank and headlight housing.

Cool ride Supe!

Sweet! Love seeing old bikes still up and running.

It has a kick starter. I love that about it. I rarely use the electric start.

Probably my favourite motorbike of all time. It got firmly burned into my brain in the late 1970's.

There is a side cover that is supposed to be covering that oil tank. It is in a box. Checking the oil means opening the seat and removing the side cover, which is why it is in a box.

Yeah, I rode the piss out of a '75 as a young man. Decades later, I wondered if getting another Honda 750 would make me feel like I am 19 again. That did not work, but it is still fun to ride.

Lol

....

One project I really want to build is and old school 750 chopper like this one.

Do it! But with spoked wheels and a leading link springer. And a really high sissy bar.

Excellent!

The grin speaks a lot of words.

Great photo. Enjoy.

Oh yeah definitely spokes. Honestly was never a big fan of springer front ends. Always preferred the girders.
Though I would never turn down a Sugar Bear springer! :cool:

That was the first motorcycle that I ever rode. I had ridden little motorbikes with one cylinder before but never anything with much power. (A lot of power for me anyway.)
