    Home Brewing

    My neighbor and i brew our own. We've done quite a few batches. Couple lagers, porters and my favorite... Stouts. Haven't made a batch we didn't like yet. Best batch we've done was a Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. 5 gallon batch only lasted a week lol Grape and grainery is the best place to go for kits. Luckily it's only a 20 min drive for me. Home brewing is not cost effective. #1 rule - Sanitation!

    I'm back!

    Well, I painted the tank just to get it on the road. Got all new cables, bars, grips, points, removed rear fender. Still deciding on what to do with the seat but i'm loving it... for a 350 i'm happy with it. I do need to upgrade to a front disc brake the way i ride it. Was going to leave the patina on the engine case but it looked like shit lol. roughly polished cases.

    I'm back!

    So after selling the Warrior i feel off. But as any of you would do, i got the itch again. This time with a build. For years i wanted to do a cafe. I finally got off my arse and got a donor. 1972 Honda CB175 Found on Craigslist. Guy (actually his name lol) wanted $250. after talking to him for 4 hours and taking a tour of all of his cars and collection of "stuff" (like a episode of American Pickers) he gave it to me for $150. No title but bill of sale. Started digging for a title. Bike came from New York. So we started there. Good news. Bike has never been titled nor registered! Ohio BMV says bring it down, have it inspected, get title. easy enough. Clean carbs, starts up... Strip down starts... other then 40 year old surface rust and a battery leak at on time, everything looks good. No gauges so i have no idea of mileage. All bolts look new, wiring and connections look new. Even has orginal brake pads! Frame blasted. and Primed. Local bike shop had 2 cb175 parted out so i went shopping. Gauges, extra set of forks, stator, stator cover, cam cover all for $80! found NOS Speedo cable on ebay for $12. Thats as far I have got so far. Will update as I go.
  9. thought i read 1K but i re-read it. my bad. I'll have to talk to my financial adviser before dropping a $ on ya. (She's still not happy with the one that is in pieces in my garage)
  10. LBTSGLWS I was hoping to pick up another before I got done with this one and give it to the wife. But looking for cheaper. I guess I found my for dirt cheap.
  11. I have a 72 cb175 I am working on right now. I don't see a price. What are you looking for it?
  12. Damn. Don't come on in a few months after switching jobs and I miss the first meet. Wtf. Lol.
  13. You are correct sir. I should have worded it more correctly.
