Just a quick into. I've been lurking here for a while. I've been riding about 45 years now, all kinds of bikes. My buddy Keith is trying to lure me into building a cafe racer like he is so we can be crazy old farts together.

Picture above from long ago. My brand new 1974 BMW R90S. Still my all time favorite motorcycle.

Nice BMW! Do you still have it? Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome. Sadly, the R90S is long gone. Cost-wise it was about like buying an MV Agusta today, pricey stuff for a 23 year old kid with a limited income. I did get a fair amount of riding on the bike it before it left though. Made a trip to Canada from SoCal, a trip to Colorado to ride all the high passes, and a fair bit of madness on the roads north of L.A.

Welcome Doug. What bike are you looking at for your victim, er donor?

Thanks for the welcome, Reinhard. I'm pretty open minded on finding a bike. I've never owned a Brit bike so a Triumph, BSA, or Norton would a cool to build but realistically, budget matters will probably dictate a 750 Japanese bike of some sort.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of all things British, even though I'm a mick. Problem is the bikes are hard to find and the parts cost way too much. Can't go wrong with the metrics. They're plentiful, reliable, and cheap.
