Homemade Sin

This bike is what got me hooked on the custom bike world. It was a 1971 cb750 Honda, when I brought it home it was a rolling chassis at best. I bought it from a co-worker/friend. I had heard about this bike for 3 or 4 years then one day joking around told him what I would give him for it. His first response was "Fuck You" and at the time it was a deserved fuck you, he had spent alot of time collecting parts and dreaming of  his perfect bike, then I come along and put a price tag on his vision of a bike for himself. But two days later he come back with a price and said I could have it for that price and not a penny less. Needless to say I took it. While we were loading the boxes of parts, the engine, the frame and what not all the while he was telling me what he had in the parts and where he got them and the genaral story behind the bike itself. It turns out it was a bike that a friend of his bought new in 1971, now I know why he had such a connection to the bike, he had seen it in action (stock form) and had spent countless hours riding beside it sharing the road and good times with it and its owner. Anyway back to the bike the last thing he said when everything was loaded up was "I hope you know what your getting into, and I doubt you will EVER ride this thing".  I blew it off because I knew one thing for sure I WAS gonna ride this thing.

     Stay tuned for more of its story.........
