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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.)
