Hi, I recently purchased a k6 (cb750) - I have a few questions I would like to put to a knowledgable owner. Ideally I would like to meet up with someone in the north west of the U.K. To have a chat ?. Perhaps a meet for a coffee. I want someone to listen to the bike and guide me on certain mechanical issues ?. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Paul

Volunteering people before they can slink away ;D love it.

I think I may have pm'd him earlier - Ken from brinnington ?. Would be good to speak with him at some point. Cheers

I found that just getting stuck in, figuring out how things worked visually helped my understanding and confidence no end when working on bikes. I still have a to to learn but have fully rebuilt a K6 engine.
Hondamans book is a good investment, basically walks you through a restoration
-
That would be great Ken, either you here or I can come to you, I'm away from 25/6 - 4/7 so anytime after that would be great. ill PM you my mobile and land line.
Coffee and cake or biscuits will be provided !

http://www.lulu.com/gb/en/shop/mark-paris/my-cb750-book-paperback-edition-85x11-size/paperback/product-22347573.html
Seems a lot but was well worth it for me

There's usually a discount/coupon code available from Mark.
I've PM'd him on the US site for availability.
I've got this book (and I've never owned a 750!) :)

Answer from Mark:
I have been trying to post them in the "Site supporters' section here: they last about 2-3 days and I get one almost every week. Tell them to keep an eye in the forum, it will pop up soon! They are usually either 'free postage' or '10% off' or up to '20% off', always for about 2-3 days and usually on Monday (when I get their notices). The last ones were BOTH 10% off AND free shipping, which would be pretty good to UK. :)
They can also search the 'net for "Lulu Publishing coupons". There are some out there for 30% off sometimes. That's cheaper than even I can buy them! I had a friend buy some for me that way (I can't) when someone around here wanted signed copies a couple of years ago. Summertime is when the ads get bigger, because people stop reading the usual 'stuff' like paperbacks, etc.
He's talking about the "Site Supporters" section of http://forums.sohc4.net (not this site)
Give it a go and let me know how you get on.

Great book, I've just bought it from lulu site, searched for vouchers and got a 15% discount...seems expensive but personally I think it is well worth it. Loads of tips and info in there.

Crispy, where in Derbyshire are you based. I ride there most weeks around edale,Castleton,monyash,ashford etc . I tend to migrate to monyash to the cafe adj the black bull these days as its a reasonable round trip from Marple.
-
I shall add that to my list. At this rate I'll need more than a 750 to drag my carcass around after all these pastries :D
-
Or an ice cream from the cafe at Monsal Head and take in the fab view and viaduct.

Chapel en le Frith.....I get to the cafe at Monyash quite a bit usually on my pushbike tho, lots of great cafe stops for bikers in this area...Hassop station cafe does great burgers! 👍 +1 on the Bradwells ice cream as well !
