Honda CB750 K7 circa 1977

            Having written off the K4 and spent the best part of a year plucking up the courage to "get back in the saddle", I bought this 1977 model K7 in September 1978. and kept it for about 5 years. During that time, it got chucked down the road on a number of occasions, affording the oportunities for some cosmetic adjustments : First to go was the 4-into-4 exhaust. I just couldn't afford to replace with originals so plumped for this Marshall 4-into-1. It only lasted 18 months and virtually rusted away! (only to be replaced by a ridiculously expensive but very sexy set of 4-into2's courtesy of Drag Specialities). The wheels went west having mounted the kerb and gone through a fence on Longdale Lane at a fair old rate of knots. Alloy wheels were very rare in those days and did turn the odd head or two. The bars and longer cables came off a CB500T, giving that higher, more upright riding position (shades of the Harley again). The seat was hand made by a guy in Mansfield who's name I can't remember. I took the engine out myself, painted it black and put it back, to be amazed that it actually still ran OK! This pic is one of the first shots I took with my Canon A1 in around 1982, a cracking camera as you can see! The bike is standing outside the tiny garage of my first little house on Scotswood Road, Mansfield Woodhouse.
