back to a cb750
« on: October 26, 2018, 08:56:45 PM »
Hi guys, just a quick post to say HELLO and introduce myself. The names Mark but most call me Scoot. Getting on a bit now but as an x racer, I still love a quick sweet handling bike so after building and selling many café racers I thought it was time to build one for myself. I had an F1 back in 1976 which I kept for a while, but as I also had a gl1000 it ended up in someone else's garage. I have now found a very nice, although not standard cb750 k3 which I am building as a cr750 replica ( no not another " Dick Mann" rep) but a Jim Redman style one.
On a personal note, I live in the co Durham area, Im 60 going on 18 and according to my wife " I don't snore, I dream im a motorbike"
I am a reasonable mechanic but im a bit out of touch with the cb 750 so please bear with me when I start asking for advice.

Welcome Mark. Had lunch and spent an afternoon with Jim Redman a couple of years back. Very interesting man and good choice.
