Hello all, from Cali

[FlyingV]

I too have been reading without and introduction.

I am new to the cafe bike scene although I have been riding for 36 yrs. Everything from dirt to sport bikes (which are my favorite). I got injured on my dirtbike earlier this year so decided I needed a project to keep me busy while healing after surgery. Having been a fan of old cafe bike for years, my attention was drawn to those.

Here are a few projects that I have started. One is completed now so I will post in 'Big Arse Projects'.

The first is a fun little bike I found on Craigslist for $150. It is a long story about how the bike was supposed to be dead. Turns out it was a $9 fix.
1980 KZ440 LTD

This next one is another I bought from Craigslist. 1980 DOHC CB750C.

I have several photos of all of the parts, but as you can see I have a rolling chassis.
