Anyone else ride on 2 wheels around here?

I just got this new bike for pretty cheap locally, and have been wrenching on it the past couple of days. Its a 1979 Honda CB750K, with carb issues, charging issues, and who knows what else! Got it home and within 2 hours had everything off except for the motor. The pics arent much but here she is! I'm just wandering how many other motorcyclist first genners were out there. Post a pic of your bike if you can!

I used to, years back, but a close encounter with a lawn chair on the I5 during rush hour convinced me that commuting through LA on a bike was not conducive to long-term survival.

Then I got married.

Yeah, I've got a 1972 CB350F, in the process of being cafe'd.

There's also a 550 and a 750 in the stable.

Sweet theres alot of us into the cafe look i guess. I was really wanting an earlier cb (69-78) or kawasaki kz, but all my buddies were buying bikes and nothing was showing up so i jumped on the 79. Its still a beauty, but cafe'ing it will be hard because its DOHC.
Seems as though theres a bunch of us out there! Keep them coming!

Jealous of the vintage CB's on here - would love to find a decent 550 or 750 to play with. Currently riding an 08 HD Dyna Fatbob, which I love. Very un-Harley, with a wide front tire, dual discs, and little chrome, which is great for me as I'm not really big on the typical Harley image. What I'd REALLY like is a new Ducati Multistrada 1200 S...oh so sweet, but $20k

I dont have pics readily available but I own 3: a 650cc ATK, 750cc GSX-R, and a triumph with sidecar. The triumph is going a full resto over the winter.
