Hello from N.C.
30 Nov 2010 18:11
Hi I'm a new member from North Carolina. I just bought my first project bike, and haven't a clue what I'm doing! I have a lovely 1982 750 Spectre, which I plan to customize just a little bit. I have some technical questions right away, so I won't spend too much time here now. Looking forward to it!

Welcome! I'm jealous...I want a spectre to add to my collection. The 750 is a great motor....plenty of power, and fairly easy to work on.
