Hi, just registered. Been riding for 20 years now, mostly on old Hondas: 1969 CL450, 1972 CB750, 1970 CD175, 1974 & 1975 MT125s, 1981 Passport, as well as a Husqvarna 1971 CR400 motocross bike. I've been off bikes for a while, with all of them just sitting and collecting dust, but now I'm back. Registered to post pictures and links to the 1972 CB750 cafe racer I've recently put back on the road. Its far from finished, but its at a point where I can ride it again, so I am, and I'm showing it off.

Welcome, let's see those bikes.

1974 Honda MT125 Dual Sport - I've ridden it around town, and actual won a vintage MX championship season on it in 2007? and here is my buddy Rob flat tracking it.

196? Harley Davidson M50 step thru - barn find I did a sympathetic restoration on for a client. Got is running, put on new tires, cleaned it up, and stopped. Its only got 800 miles on it.

1981 Honda C70 Passport - had this for a few years, did a few things to it including that two-tone metal flake and metallic gold seat cover.

1970 Honda CL450 - This one is currently just sitting for now. Just redid the top end, 1mm over pistons, ported and polished head, then raced it in the Elsinore Grand Prix (yes, off road). Had ignition issues, then the kreme started to come apart in the tank and clogged the carb, then it seized from sitting. Its toward the bottom of the list of priorities right now.

Here I am airing it out

1971 Husqvarna CR400 - Last of the round case, 4 speed, shift on the right, open classers. Last raced at the Catalina Grand Prix in 2010? where it got hot and seized, but what an event!

197? Honda CD175 - Last of the toaster tank Hondas, I think they stopped making them in 1973 for the USA. I think this is a 1969 or something?

That's all I got for now. Can't find any pictures of the MT125 road race replica I made at the moment, but maybe I'll post some later.

Very cool, I envy your garage. What's the station wagon behind the Harley?

Its a 1960 Chevy Parkwood, which would be the equivalent of a Bel Air wagon. Its another long term project. It would be perfect if only it had some sort of retractable roof so it could hold a bike. so I also have a 2005 Chevy Colorado.
