......from an old geezer! Based in Jersey, only got back into biking a four or five years ago, having had quite a collection of Japanese smokers back in the 70s & 80s. Present bike is indeed a '76 Suzuki GT750, and a rather special monkey bike.
I'm more of a builder/tinkerer/fettler than a rider, and my presence here (cheers Mike!) will become clear soon enough.
Cheers, Oily.

Thou doth indeed - tinkereth much!
The Kettle looks good - although I must admit to prefer the "restored to original" look. That was one of the "big bikes" of my teen years...............
along with the Honda CB750, John Player Norton, Kawasaki H2................

Cheers mate, it's rare that I can follow your instructions, being a luddite and all that. So this time I didn't, and have had reasonable success (I think). Not sent using tapatalk, iPad, wifi, or anything else. Just good ol' steam & valves.
