Here's a bit of a different look.  Haven't seen the tach/speedo attached to the frame before.  Looks like this one has a seat warmer as well

Hey EAsy, do you ever take in the Dutch Mason festival and show?

Hey free2ride, I hadn't heard of that one before, but it could be a possibility for aug.  Just checked out the website - 3 days of music, custom bikes, and a bbq comp. (visit by the blues brothers lol)   Right up my alley.  I'll be riding down past Truro a couple times this summer.    There are many neat festivals and concerts throughout the maritimes in the summer but sadly I haven't taken anything in over the last couple years.   Missed out on U2 last summer in Moncton because of a rainy day.  Maybe this will be the year.

I had planned to ride to it last summer but wound up going out of the country instead. had a great couple of weeks but the bug is still there. this summer is out as is next; 2015 it is for my tour of NS including the Cabot Trail!

I think we Jacked Shiney's randomness, lol he dosent care.   When I read your trip planner I was wondering why you were not heading east instead lol.   I'm holding off on the trip to newfoundland because the temp. drops back a month as soon as I get there and it's a 24 hour trip.   If you do head through this way in 2015 I might have my build started by then lol, I'll be around.   Cape Breton is about 100kms across, but it has alot of nice runs for a biker(Kelly's mountain, Bras 'dors lakes,)  NFLD is a must, but it's an extra week ride.  You have me motivated to go now!

Of course not,that's why it's here! That's actually why I started this thread. Since we are all so good at thread jacking I figured this would give us a place to defer to when to time came.

Random thought of the moment:

I wish I could do this.

Not much to look at Rich. No title. Not sure what year it is. Think its a '73. Nothing's stuck, everything's free and there. Might be a couple switches missing and I know the voltage regulator is shot. Its a big ball of rust.LOL.  But for $400 I'm crossing my fingers there's a dollar to be made here. Getting a title will run me about $50-65 depending on the weather. Kinda excited to see about getting her running actually.

Nice pick Shiney,  keep us updated on this one for sure.  You could probably make a few $ with those extra tanks.  
I had an offer for my bike today, someone passing by.   So much sunshine lately I haven't thrown the cover over the old dog  lol.   I'm still keeping an eye on classifieds for a second ride!

As usual, this one just fell in my lap. Everyone around here knows I'll but stuff no matter how rough it is. When they have something, or know someone that has something, that nobody else wants...they call me. "Call Eric. If he don't feel sorry for it nobody will ":) I have a soft spot for abandoned vehicles of all makes. Tuesday night a buddy of a buddy told me about another buddy who's son was clearing out a lot for his uncle...did ya follow that. Well, the next day I brought her home.

P.s. - If I start a build thread for this thing here I'm positive Tools will evict me :( lol.

I don't know about that. Could just put it in the "Best joke you got" thread. I could always use a good laugh.

 I always get a kick out of those videos. I dig Sportsers. Always have. I know there's a stigma/attitude that goes along with HD's,but I can ignore that. I have a plan for this bike that'll be fun to build and I think I can make a decent dollar off of it. I just hope I don't end up falling in love with it and want to keep it.

Buuuut,since this is a CB750 forum I guess y'all won't get to see any of that. lol
