Going back thru old Facebook posts, I started this project in earnest in August of last year. Here we are 10 months later and finally I have what can be called a motorcycle (with a straight face) again. It isn’t finished, not by a long shot, but it is good enough to ride around town, […]
Nearly everybody who has ever ridden a SOHC Honda CB750 at freeway speeds has lost a left side cover. It’s an affliction they have been cursed with since day one.
