Hello everybody. I have been lurking around these forums for the last couple months, contemplating the purchase of a cycle. An '82 popped up on craigslist, and i am taking a shot on it.

I have owned a few cycles in the past, including a 1999 honda shadow. Its been about 6 years, a wife and 2 kids since i have been on a motorcycle. Looking forward to hopping back in the sadle.

Enough blather. I'm sure you want to see a few pics of the bike.




This was how I bought her. The PO was a mechanic, both as a (previous to retierment) proffesion and as a hobby. We got into some good conversation, but unfortunatly the bike would not start (my wife would kill me for buying a bike that didnt run). He offered to get her going again, if i would agree to purchase her when he did. We agreed, and the next day, i helped him pull the carbs. He was going to set himself up for tearing them apart, and i asked if i could do it. I left with them, and over the course of the next week, i cleaned them up.

I brought them back, reinstaled them and now she runs. I am the proud new owner of a 1982 cb750!
