Title: Hello from Columbus, Ohio
Post by: OHIOCAFERACER on March 05, 2010, 05:14:46 AM
Just wanted to drop a quick introduction to the forum.

Recently a 2001 M750 Dark(although PO had painted the tank red) found its way into my garage and so far its been a blast to ride...even though its still freeze'n cold outside. I've done a few changes to the bike since I first got it....and more changes are to come. Think the next change is the 14t front sprocket....gearing seems tall for the intown riding. Overall...it seems like an awesome bike!!!

As for me......been riding and racing motorcycles for over 25 years. I have recognized some people on the DMF from other cafe forums I have been on. I have done alot of work on vintage Honda's and some vintage road racing with AHRMA. Also....as a hobby I do alot of custom alloy metal work for the vintage bikes and cafe racers. Mostly now adays.....the metal work is just for my stuff, as I just dont have time to do other stuff.....FT job....family....and now my son is racing.....so time is hard to come by now. Here is a pic of my newest vintage race bike(on the left) and my cafe pit bike......at its first race in Oct 2009 at Barber Motorsports Park:

....and a pic of the new Duc in the garage....sorry for the bad cell pic:

Anyways......I have been enjoying the DMF over the past few weeks and already using some of the info to get my monster adjusted to my needs and complete some tune up needs. Thanks for the great work with the forum and look forward to using the info.
Greg

Glad to hear you are having fun with your 750! [moto]
