Hello from Northern CA Wine Country

[FastCletus552]

Hello to all. Been following do the ton on twitter and decided to jump on the board. I am currently building a 1975 Cb 500T Cafe Racer. I am about 90% done with fab work. Tweaking engine now, and depending on $$ paint in the next 6 months. I am by no means a pro at building these bikes and have many times learned the hard way about fixes, fabs, etc. Its been fun none the less. the next one will be much easier

I work in the wine industry here in Napa. I raced in the clubs in FL (CCS) for a few years on Ducati's. Was just a hobbie, 1 podium, 2 crashes, but a lifetime of adrenaline! Currently just doing track days here in nor cal.

Hey there,

Welcome to DTT! 500t is a great bike! I used to have a 360t but had to sell it when I moved here from Philly.

I'm down in Oakland. I am trying to eventually get a little bay area face-to-face meet up going on at some point. Even just to get together for some beers and talk shop. Let me know if your interested!

Throw some photos of your bike up!

Cheers,

Leigh

Leigh: Absolutely, would love to have a meet up. There is also a blog board for nor cal called http://www.bayareavintageriders.com/index.php. IF you set it up please post it there as well. I am picking up my cafe tomorrow from mechanics after some tuning work, cant wait to ride it

Summerfest: Stillbulding my current bike. Will consider doing a cb 750 sometime in the near future. Love my 500, but I would like a little more pepp in my next bike. Plus i love the sound of a well tuned 750

I currently have a KZ650 cafe about 85% done and I'm getting a KZ750 Spectre in the next month or two. A shaft drive will be something different to work around...
Once my bike is on the road I'll hit you up for a ride. Wine country is an awesome place to ride!
