New Member Introductions / NEW JOINER IN POOLE, DORSET: NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION
« on: February 05, 2013, 12:53:16 PM »
Hello Folks,http://
New Year's Resolution (one of many) is to refurbish my trusty old CB750 K7 and then see what I might make with the shed full of other bits I have accumulated in preparation for The Big Push.
Motivated and encouraged by others who have documented their efforts, I have made a start. However, instead of stripping parts and polishing and cleaning, the first thing I have to do is build a decent place to work in. I am just about at the stage where I can pour concrete to make a workshop floor, and I have filled four builders skips with rubble just to get that far!
I hope to get going on the bike itself by the start of March, and will no doubt be on these pages asking lots of junior level questions very shortly after that. Here's hoping that plenty of misguided optimism, along with the huge amount of knowledge to be gained on these forums, will overcome my complete lack of mechanical or practical skills.
No pictures yet; (if you've seen one building site, you've seen them all), but I will try to do at least a 'before and after' comparison once I get going on the bike itself.
(And please get in touch if you are local and need any topsoil!)
