Thought the moderator might appreciate the new winter project I dragged home last evening. 1974 CB750, rough as a hog's back but has a valid title and 13K on the clock. Been sitting for years, but will fire on starter fluid and run. I have to pick which direction I want to go, Cafe, Rat Bike...

Thanks All I appreciate the kind comments. This project also helped me with weight loss this winter, the checkbook is a hell of a lot lighter.

What Now Finished bolting the tank on today, couple little minor fixes left but overall I am very satisfied. Still some winter left so maybe I will try and track down another Scrambler. Anybody got the number of a good divorce attorney, if I bring home one more I'll be needing one. Safe...

Thanks Guys I rolled into the bed of my pick up for $2800 but so far I am thinking I got a pretty good deal. Runs great and a compression test shows it must have been rebuilt sometime recently. Leaning toward a cream and green paint scheme but the decision will be made when the cold weather...

Guys since I sold my last Scrambler I have been somewhat remiss on a the twin sites. I know a couple of you guys do mess around with the vintage machines so I thought I would throw up a couple of shots of my latest addition much to my Wife's displeasure. It is a numbers matching Triumph 1964...

POR 15 is the best I have ever found. I have used it on a bunch of old projects, some even with small leaks, it has never failed. On the current old Triumph I just picked up the PO has used Kreem, although it seems to be holding up OK, it looks like crap, like dried buttermilk. POR15 leaves a...

I swore several years ago that I would never fool with anything vintage again. This was after selling off a 68 and 69 Bonneville along with a couple of 305 Honda Scramblers in a package deal. Sadly I threw in a pile of parts to sweeten the deal. Take my advice, never sell the parts you will be...

Gone..... Bike is sold......

Up for sale is my 2007 Scrambler with 8k on the meter. Bike is in perfect condition, clean, and performs better than new. Modifications include: Fly Screen Factory Tach Solo Seat & Rack Saddleman Two Seat Air Box Elimination Kit Carbs Re-Jetted 7" Headlight Bucket with Joker Brackets...

Good Looking Bike I believe the 2006 is the only year of the satin engine covers on the Scrambler. I like that color combo, enjoy the new ride. I find it interesting that you sold a 64. I have been getting the urge to own a vintage bike again, must be the lack of oil on my garage floor...

There is no way the British Iron will ever leave, but I have been graving pasta lately. I guess it should be taco's since they are assembled in Mexico. God, for the sake of "Old People" everywhere, I hope not.......... We did take up in the Blue Ridge mountains the other day. With the...

2013 Fiat Abarth Convertible. Damned if the colors aren't a perfect match to the Scrambler and it has a few more horses under the hood than my R3 thanks to a turbo. A blast to drive I will have to admit, but I won't see it that often........

Truer words were never spoken..... All the best in new position Simpson and I am sure you have more than done your part to keep a number of the old true classics on the road. Kingbear is dead on with his observation. My Wife and I enjoyed a hobby of collecting and restoring various...

Time for a change It was time for a change for the seat cowl, the main reason being I dropped the damn thing on the garage floor creating a very decorative scratch directly down the center. (Arthritics creativity at its best.) Decided to go white with a little nostalgia. Still needs wet...

Thanks for posting.... Great vid's and beautiful country. Enjoyed them very much and I was truly impressed with the amount of open land.
