Hello! Newbie from Swadlincote, Derbyshire
« on: June 18, 2018, 03:34:26 PM »
Hi everyone!

Thought I’d introduce myself on here properly! I’m Ben from Swadlincote in South Derbyshire.

Bought myself a 1975 CB750 UK bike in January with the aims of tinkering and slowly giving it a bit of a cafe look and it’s currently in around 100 pieces with the bare frame fitting in the garage now as a full blown stripdown project apart from the engine, which has generally stayed as one piece apart from the casing which have been painted.

I’ve made a thread on the projects so feel free to have a nose!
Cheers

Thanks! Already had a good look through and I’m sure I’ll definitely be needing to pick peoples brains throughout my build!

If I’d have known about it earlier I’d have loved to but the 1st of July I’m cycling 100 miles Derby to Skegness.

This is my other two wheeled love....
