Post by 75HondaGL »

Just bought a 75 GL1000. Excited to start working on it. I'm currently finishing up a 78 cx500 cafe bike for my wife. I want to do something similar to my wing, but haven't decided exactly what yet. Definitely a naked bike of some sort.
I'm a back yard fabricator with a history in sandrails and off-road crawlers back in my hay day. Raced Motocross and sleds for many years.
My first ever road bike was a 2015 Harley seventy two. I've been in love with road bikes ever since. So naturally, I've gravitated towards sport bikes for obvious reasons lol. But my true passion is working on classic bikes in my garage with my dog and a cooler of beer. Next only to riding my bike of course.
This seems like a great forum. I hope I can contribute as well as learn from all the guru's out there. Lord knows I have a lot to learn about road bikes. anim-cheers1
