So this is my first attempt at a blog and I am not to good at keeping up with stuff like this so we will see how it goes. I am starting this to document my build of a 1978 CB750 into a Cafe insipred speed machine. I will also post other things on here that interest me and if for some reason a few weeks go by with out a post it might be because I am out on a deployment for work so don't hate and I hope you enjoy!

So it begins...

Here is the first post of my new blog that is started to document my cafe build from a 1978  Honda CB750. Some quick background on the bike. About 2 weeks ago we went to buy my wife a new car and while waiting for the paperwork I started to talking to the salesman about bikes. He then started to tell me about a 1972 CB750 he wanted to get rid of. He said it had bee sitting for 20years but looked brand new. I asked him how much and he said free, which we know just happens to be the best price. So two weeks later I borrowed my buddy Dave's truck to pick it up. When I went to pick it up I found out it was actually a 1978 and wasn't in the great shape he said it was in, but it was in great shape for a 78 that had been sitting for 20 years. It only has 3600 miles and is seized up but some miracle oil and some not so tender loving care should break it free. Below are some pics from when I picked it up on the 24th.
