So what flavor blizzard should I get? I may go crazy and get the strawberry cheesequake....mmmm 😋

The best of motorcycle culture on display here. Your willingness to show mistakes and corrections, how to actually attain success, and the joy that overwhelms you when reaching proper ignition. How could you not ride a bike that has risen from the dead?! A master and his pupil, absolute gold!

Captain's log: It's been 2,562 kicks in without any sign of success. Crew morale is getting low but we will keep going at it until either we are triumphant or fall in defeat. 🤣

I revived a '74 CB-750 that had spent 12-13 years slowly sinking into the ground and had sage brush growing through the wheels. It was a cool windy day when we cut her free and brought to my 'garage'. As it warmed dozens of wasps started waking up and coming out of the exhaust. A lot of them! Threw the doors open, pulled the mufflers and outside they went. I pour ATF oil into each cylinder and let it sit for day then slowly turned the motor over with the kicker. It spun just fine! Had compression and spark! One of the saving graces of that bike was that when it had fallen over the huge Windjammer fairing covered most of the tank and engine. The gas tank was in pretty good shape but the petcock was toast and was replaced, fuel filter, new plugs and within 2 weeks it was running and purring like it was meant to be. The points were almost in pristine condition and the odometer showed 11000 miles on it. It was ridden locally for a few years and then sold to a guy in Leavenworth, WA. In my 60s now, over the years, I owned 23 CB-750s( a couple were parts bikes mind you) and I wouldn't hesitate to hop on one and ride around the world(properly set up). Thank You for posting this video. Bought back some great memories.

Best video yet, so glad to see young fellas like yourself appreciating the classic motorcycles

Great for showing exactly how it went & not editing out the issues encountered.

So satisfying watching someone else kicking the crap out of a bike to get it to start. Also the reason why the starter is the first thing I fix. 😂😂😂 Great video.

Okay the bike wouldn't kick over because Seth is using the wrong leg. LOL In all my years I've never been able to kick a bike over unless I used my right leg. Kudos to Seth.

Seth’s bike reminded me of starting my T160 for the first time after many years of storage. It took ages, even after I cleaned the gunk out of the carburettors! Well done, guys…

Super excited to ride this thing on the regular. Had a ton of fun getting this bike in running condition! Oh, and I suppose BJ earned his blizzard, too 😂.

Man I just dig these videos, resurrecting such a classic bikes… keep on keeping on!

Im grinning from ear to ear; great saves guys.

Three cheers for you and Seth. Here in New Hampshire. Leaving in a few minutes to travel to West Virginia ~(Country Roads ~ Take me Home 🎶)~ Driving all night long. For a Nighthawk 750 ~ 2003, NO Title, Looks like it's been dropped, Out of a container by container selling people. It's all your fault. (Thank yoI was looking at all kinds of bikes. Made me crazy So the Honda 750. Here we are. Also I'll be humming Willie's song: (On the road again, Just so happy to be on the road again!). 🎶. $600.00 and 30k ~. and they're gonna accept my credit card. Party party party. 〰✨🌿✨‼👍‼✨🌿✨〰

I bought one new in 75. I had some awesome adventures on that bike.

Both of the bikes sounded sweet when they cleared up a bit and you gave them a rev. You have a great set up there with the ramp access and that workshop.

“Do you need assistance” a little Super Troopers quote perhaps? :)

The kickstand on the chopper just makes my anxiety go through the roof every time I see it. 😂

Awesome…I was kicking with you guys!😆

Those old girls remind me of the days in the mid 1980s when I was working as an engine rebuilder in a (mostly British) bike repair /custom shop. Among all the many dozens of Triumphs and BSAs I restored were a handful of Honda 750s (including one for myself, which I still own!!) and one Yamaha 750 Triple. (An interesting engine!) Thanks for the video, guys!! 😄

Excellent outcome, fellas! Great to see them both firing up and as has been said before in the comments, good to see you showing us the unsuccessful attempts too. It shows your integrity. It would be too easy to just show the success. Great work! 💜

Just had a 72 cb750 dropped to me. In side a dry barn but things fell on it .35 kicks it runs.Young dudes that work with me on bikes like your sight.Thanks for showing what it takes on the old stuff.Im a gs suzuki my self.Happy hunting Geist Wulf Cycle Werks

Nothing beats that first sound and smell of internal combustion after a long sleep. Great work guys 😊

I'm hoping for a short drag race to determine the winner of that blizard.

It sure is nice to see someone with your expertise and passion creating quality MC videos from Missouri. Living very close to my location (respectively) warms my heart. Spending all of my youth and most of my mid-age years working on mostly motorcycles I had yet to see a "Super" tech locally. Thank you for the great content. Blessings and great success to you and your family!

Great rivalry between you two. Wonderful to see these old bikes rescued and actually running after so long. Really enjoyed your outro poses - they made me laugh. Be great to see you both out on the road with these bikes when they are fully ready 👍

This was great to watch. Thanks man. That black bomber still looks the business to me.

Great job guys! There's something magical about reviving a long dormant motorcycle. I'll be attempting the same thing on a CB400 later this afternoon. 🤞 Cheers!

When the first 750 took off down the parking lot, I was like, "YYYEEEEAAAAA!!!"

Two awesome bikes, so cool!

Excellent gentllemen, excellent. We've all been there, but it's so good to watch from the couch. Enjoy your shakes 👍

Well done guys!👍👍👍👍

I never think kicking a bike over 10 + times is going to be tiring, I'm always proved wrong. Can't beat that moment when they start for the first time

Real cool, guys!

Post either one of those bikes to me in the UK, something to tinker on in my retirement.

This was awesome to watch!!! Hahaha it’s always 50x more kicks than we want to admit. Also, you didn’t bring us along for the blizzards! What the heck

Another great video! I love your optimism even when things don't seem to be going right

The chopper has grown on me

I've had a LOVE AFFAIR with these bikes for many years ,great to see your enthusiasm ,,keep up the good work ,,thanks again !

That was alot of fun - good to see that you both have running and riding bikes now. Hard work that pays off - AGAIN!!

Fantastic video. You guys are great. Enjoy your videos a lot. love these old bike. Keep up you good work. Just way to much fun watching.

Way to go . I kicked my cb360 so much I broke the shaft the kick lever was connected to. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE!

Brilliant work;these bikes deserve to survive and be ridden.

No shame with the points- I once put my camshaft on 90 degrees out on my DOHC '82... Nothing but kudos for the save.

The only things that stops a 750/4 from working is owner error. Greatest piece of motorcycle engineering ever! I would jump on one tomorrow and ride around the world without a second thought. The chief engineer of the 750/4 should be a living legend in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame…oh, and nice job boys.

First day back today after getting slammed by Covid for two weeks and that bit at the end was just what I needed. LOL thanks guys

Yep...... you win on the start up but damm Seth's bike sounds so sweet as I predicted!! You really need a 4 into 1 and don't forget you have a hole in one of your pipes on the left side. Two more bikes brought back from the dead.....well done guys. :)

BJ ~ I can't thank you enough. ~. The oh so sketchy sounding story behind my 2003 750 Night Hawk in West Virginia actually has become a true story. The bike did stay off the road since 2007 or so. Was actually a 1995 model. The local Honda dealer did run a VIN with the original owner's name from 1996~1997 on an inspection report and I have a connection for a new key. Just got back from HF for bolt extracting stuff. One is off the other is stripped and stuck. One bolt stripped one bolt loose is what I found. The keyset removal for the locksmith is where I am at now. A nice note from our local Police Chief for another VIN report. (I now have two of these) and so I am building a case for the DMV. But so far NOT STOLEN or otherwise. I so so appreciate all the work that you share here and your support. Just great. 〰✨〰 Thank you from New Hampshire.

nice work

The brown smoke... 🤣

I have to believe that if any of the original Honda engineers are around to watch these videos, that they will be saying "hell yeah, we did good work!"

Auuugh. Flashbacks to nightmare stall outs in rush hour traffic first thing in the mornings on my DR350S, which took conservatively, about 100,000 kicks to restart when it was luke warm. Cold was fine, hot was fine, but tepid? oof. Loved the bike, but between the Satan himself disguised as a motorcycle seat discomfort, and the heart attack inducing exhaustion and anger from kicking for bloody ever, I was the least sad I ever was, to get rid of bike, lol

That was fun

The 4 into 4 sounds sweet ❤

Awsome bikes

my stubborn BSA in the early 70's would make me want to swear...sure can relate to the sounds of silence..

I quote myself from 2 weeks ago: "I predict @brickhousebuilds will have a grand old kickin’ time at the first start-up 🤣" I was right! Fun vid! Always exciting to hear old bike breathe again.

Gud show guys,well done

The pipes... nothing JB Weld can't fix. heheh

Old Honda's never die! - Absolutely brilliant seeing them wake up from years of slumber. I recently spotted two CB750's for sale here in England. A 1972 in Orange K2 with 15,000 miles on the clock at £11,750 AND a 1973 in Orange K3 with 10,000 miles on the clock for £11,000 - Both absolutely stunning bikes. Gorgeous! - PS. I now own a dream bike that I've longed for since I was 18. Only a 1979 CBX 🙂 To say Im like a dog with two dicks is an understatement...lol

Two more saved 🌟🙏

I think this was a favorite for me 👍🏻 both cool bikes 😎

No, Bri. We all thank you.

Great video I am daily rider you make me wanna ride more

A few things… Awesome editing and filming - great sense of presentation. The sound of a 4 into 1 exhaust is incredible on the CB750. I am buying my buddy’s 1975, all original, but in need of a fair bit of TLC. I’m wondering if I should pull the stock exhaust and go for a 4 into 1. Great video.

Congrats guys. Both bikes sounding pretty good 👍. For what it’s worth, I used Rotella 15/40 in my ‘84 Shadow 750 and it worked fine. Best of luck with both bikes. 👍🏍🇨🇦

Nice!!

That bike hasn't started in so long, even the smoke has gone rusty!😮

Love how Seth couldn't work out what to do with his fingers 😅

The feeling of an old bike being reborn is second only to the birth of a child

EITHER. Don, CA. 2-11-2024.

Not bad, 1st start in 27years, 'grats

At least they don't kick back like my BSA.does sometimes. My CB750 is also cold blooded. And I do use the electric start...lol.

Hi guys first of all the bikes sound great I said 5 kicks for both 🫣🤫🙄yeah right hahaha a little hiccup with Seth’s but quickly figured out top notch work guys and hey BJ I’d get a triple blizzard lol don’t know what it is but sure sounds good take care and have a great week this was a good laugh enjoyed it 🔧🔧🔧👍👌🏁🏁🏍️🏍️❤️❤️😊

31's a charm, maybe you should've gone to Baskin Robbins. :) Both bikes sound great.

Does the chopper 750 still have the stock kickstand? Back in the day when everyone wanted a 6" over front end, we realized the kickstand was virtually useless unless you parked on a hill and used bumps or a block og wood to park on. Or you cut the kickstand and weld on an extension. Ah the dilemma of chopper life.

Excellent they both run is that a v65 front forks on ur bike?

That first bike is a good mosquito fogger!

The kick stand thing you make can you get them to make one that stays on the stand?

Now cleaning the fuel tank to get the rust out

👏👏👏✊

Love how the individual competition turned into teamwork when the bike wouldn't start. Gas bottle hanging from the handlebars and loose battery in the crotch. What could go wrong?

And I thought I was a dork. Get a peanut buster parfait.😊

OOPS, Can't watch the video. I will when I get back on Thursday. Oh yea. 〰✨〰

Rookies

Hey BBB, what do you think of the 84/85 CB650SC Nighthawks?

Remove the baffles from your exhaust pipes.

What was all the smoke coming out of the first bike? how did you know it wasn't a bad thing?

technically his started in four kicks because the fuel wasn't on until his fourth kick.

Re oil. I have a '76 Z900 and I use a mineral diesel oil in it and change the oil every 1.500 kilometers. These engines as with the CB 750 were designed in a different era. From my experience using synthetics won`t give any significant benefits

Que paso con la benelli loco!!!

12V Thanks🛵

Do you sell restored bikes?

Thing is, if you're not willing to make some mistakes you'll never learn anything new and you'll never become a vintage bike master.

I don't understand why you kick it standing beside the bike... I have always straddled the bike and kick with my right foot....

Once you are over the kick limit, go ahead and at least try using the electric start, right? LOL.

😎❤️💯💯👌👌🇧🇻

Why not sit on bike to kick it is a lot easier to start

No helmets on wet pavement with sketchy tires? Reacting upon ego without the benefit of intellect at best.

Love it, great vid.
