A Newbie

Post by stroker »

Hey

Just wanted to say hi. I joined about a month ago, lurk on occasion, but this is my first post.

I bought a 75 GT750 a couple of months ago off ebay, it's in reasonable condition, but I haven't had the time as yet to check it out completely, to see what needs doing. But it started with not much problems, a few dents and dings, but it looks good to go.

When I get a chance and some spare cash, I will pull it down and go over it with a fine tooth comb.

But I have it, it's mine! 8)

Sounds like good project, look forward to seeing some pics and updates. :up: Did you have it shipped or was the seller close enough to you to go and pick the bike up? Mine was from Michigan, and I had it shipped.

Thanks Mark, glad you liked my avatar. I couldn't figure it out so one of the admins had to help me re-size it and post.

Stroker, I know I've asked before, but here it goes again, where in Florida are you? I have a friend who works on vintage bikes who might be able to help you with your bike.

Hi ya'll

Sorry, I haven't checked back in since my post.

Joiseygirl, I'm in Miami.

Yeah it's a cracker of a bike, but except for a few times going over at my friend's garage and admiring and stroking it, I just haven't had the chance to do anything with it as yet - too damn hot, no times and the usual, no money. :( But I should be getting some holidays in December, so I'm gonna pull everything down and see what I need to do.

Get help yanking the motor unless you LIKE going to the chiropractor. I weighed my motor while it was out. 160 lbs. with no handles. Optionally, lay it down on the lawn and remove the frame from the motor.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
