I have been riding my '73 TX750 since about mid summer, but I picked it up out of a local junk yard a few years ago. I originally picked it up just to stick in the shop and had no intention of riding it. Then we were slow one winter day so I threw it on the lift, cleaned the carbs, set the timing, made sure it had some oil, hooked up a battery charger and it actually fired up 
It was in really poor shape and the wiring harness was a complete mess (I really can't believe it started) so I set it aside and would dink with it from time to time.
It is still a real rat, but I like it that way. It is a blast to ride and no one knows what it is. In fact I am leaving the shop to go to a local bike night on it in a few minutes. I hope I don't offend any purists, but this bike was destine for the scrap yard.
Here is how it looks today. Not much different, but there is a lot done behind the scenes.
