76' CB360.

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

Welcome nothingleft09 !
Not only are you close to me (Kendallville) but you're up at the wee hours of the morning too.
I am usually on about that time of day myself.

 

[nothingleft09]

Actually! lol I'm staying in Kendallville with my parents while my Fiancee and I save up some cash for a new house. I'm right on Main St. You wouldn't be the really cool neighbor that lives by my cousin on Riley St. with all the cool bikes would you? And I need a petcock for my CB360 if you have something that wouldwork.

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

HA! Nope that's R.J. one of my mates. I bet he or one of the rest of us here have your petcock.
Does this look familiar?


I am north of town on 1000N just off 3, south of Cree lake.

 

[nothingleft09]

Cool. lol And yep. Looks familiar. I got mine for $200. Hasn't even been plated since 1986. The odometer reads 06091 and the title isn't far off from that. So I'm guessing it's original miles. Hoping anyway. lol It's severely rough and it's been sitting a long time. The guy I got it from had been working on it, but the tank is rusty so I'm trying to get ahold of some metal rescue which from everything I've seen works amazingly on tanks. I ordered a clutch cable and got a battery for it today then cleaned the carbs and the bowls started leaking like crazy, and it won't shift above neutral... Goes into first though. lol I've only ever wrenched on dirt bikes so I think I'm going to have to go to the club my cousin told me about that meets here in town and try to learn how to wrench on my bike. lol I'm not to keen on splitting the case on my own or anything like that. IT needs a points cover also. If any of the kendallville guys have parts, I have paypal. ;D

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

I bet that "club" you are talking about is my Mates.... and sometimes myself. Down below Wiebles Paint Store is the "Basement Bike Shop". Search here for a thread by me that's titled "new old mates" or some such from a while back. We meet up on Thursaday nights. I been rather laxxed since I built my own shop.
I'll PM ya later to call me

 

[nothingleft09]

Yep that would be it. lol He was telling me you met up on thrusdays. Small world.

You mean I bought another bike lol. Went on a few year stint without one. I'm on the tex every once and a while. I dot like being in the spotlight anymore lol. What are you riding???

 

[Brandon12V]

Never knew you rode! 1980 XJ650 at the moment. Just bought a project RD200 and my buddies and I have a few cb750's, cb350's, cb360's, etc... We opened an LLC, together, a couple months ago. We're just getting on our feet. All are project bikes but we're working on one of the 750's right now. Cb360 hardtail bobber is on the backburner.

Brandon...where are you guys located?


We should get some group rides together! Keith and I went out for couple hours on Saturday and had a blast ripping around town.


Anybody up for meeting at cars and coffee this Saturday morn?

 

[Brandon12V]

I'm on the north side in Carmel. My two business partners are on the west side near 62nd & Michigan Rd. We work out of their house right now. We had a deal lined up on a 4000sq ft. shop lease near 10th & Capitol but it recently fell through due to the broker stalling on us(they had another deal lined up to buy out the entire building). We're still looking for a potential location but in the meantime we will build a pole barn in his back yard for a clean area to build bikes during the winter. His garage is a cluster fuck right now, lol. As far as the gtg's go, we are always down. Keep the 30th open. I will be updating, later today, with an event we will be hosting this month.

 

[mothgils]

Will do on the 30th.




You up for Cars & Coffee this Saturday? We could get small group together.


Interested to see what you and your friends build. I have a couple projects that I would like to get started on. Just gotta get some extra cash.

 

[Tifun]

I'm most likely in for cars and coffee. I'll post some pics when I get to a real computer. I saw the japflag bike on fb and my eyes kept drawing back to the Bimmer. I was like, who the hell is that lol. It's been so long since I've seen the car haha.

-Keith

 

[Brandon12V]

Haha yea the bimmer is still kickin. Rebuilt half of it and then got interested in bikes. Haven't given it much love lately but I did order koni adjustables and ground control mounts last week, lol.

 

[Brandon12V]

Brandon,

Here's my 78 550K(don't let the header fool you lol)

Here's the Beetle I just sold off too

I'm going to make sure I leave the 30th open as well 8)

[Brandon12V]

Looks awesome Keith! Unfortunately, I will not be there for cars and coffee. I have mandatory work on Saturday at my 'real' job(8-12). If you guys end up riding somewhere for a beer, afterwards, let me know and I'll swing by. I have a lot on my plate right now, though. Dog sitting, house sitting, two jobs, and connecting this event to every known motorcycle shop in the indy area. Plus the trophies are being hand built!
