Andy picked up his 81 CB900F Friday. His brother bought this bike brand new and put about 27,000 miles on it before it developed several problems. It sat about 10 years with no compression on 2 and 3 as well as a charging issues. We milled the head checked everything out fixed what was needed, rebuilt the carbs, fixed the charging issues, rebuilt the brakes forks and a few other items and it runs great again.
My buddy Mark met Andy several years ago at Mid Ohio Vintage Days. I met him about 3 years ago and we have all met up at Mid Ohio and Barber as well as other visits. Andy rides just about everyday. I called him the other day to see what he was up to, and he told me he went for a ride ( about 325 miles) for fun. He has a pretty good collection of bikes, Harley, Honda, BMW and his new favorite Moto Guzzi.
I really enjoy getting a bike like this running again for someone that I know will ride it and enjoy it as much as Andy will.
