Hello there! I'm a 36y/o combat veteran Marine / superdad to my 4y/o . I've been riding since 12 or so (dirtbikes) but took many years off. While in the Corps I rode an 04 GSXR 750 when I wasn't deployed. Sold it shortly after getting out and took about 10 yrs off from bikes. Recently (7yrs ago) got back into the 2 wheel life building 10+ vintage honda cb`s and cl`s, mainly 350s and 360s with a 500 and 750 sprinkled in. Growing up my Dad and I were big BMW automobile fans and between us both have owned 15 or so of all varieties. Because of this I've always been into their motorbikes as well but never had the honor of owning or even riding one. 5 years ago I moved next door to an older guy who had a 73 75/5 parked in his garage. After years of haggling he finally gave in and struck a deal. I'm now the proud owner of this beautiful /5. Below is how it's sat for 8yrs. He bought it with 30700mi, had a local airhead guru rebuild the carbs, motor and trans, proceeded to put 80miles and that (imo) fugly windjammer 2 on it and it sat ever since. Currently being stripped down to be beautified once more and get back to racking up some Midwest miles! Thanks in advance for the shared knowledge and assistance and see yall around the forums!
