Whahaha, I don't know what kind of translation program you used, but it does not make any sense ! hahaha :D

I guess you typed :

The good of sounds ! , looks big ! *translate*

lol, in Dutch it does not make sense :P But I guess I kinda know what you mean ;)

Thanks mate. :)

You'd think with my last name of DeVries, I'd know a little more Dutch! I'll have to get another crash course with my mother in law (Drost) from Warns Friesland.. :)

Yes, sounds great and looks fantastic. I love the throaty exhaust and cannot wait to hear what my CA77 sounds like as well.

I just built a classic Sjoelbak with my son to commemorate our heritage and compete with the inlaws.....

A we also always went 'sjoelen' when I was a little kid.

Long time ago ;)

Very much fun with the family, great times...

And yes, I also was very exited to hear the sound of it, I really did not know what to expect from it.

Really, when you first fire up your CA it won't let you down :D

In the film, my dad comes checking, just when he left of, he said 'mooi geluidje' wich mean, nice sound !

I was happy he said that :D because it really is a nice sound, it's much more 'bombastic' than you would expect from a small 300cc twin.

Guess you will find out :D

Good luck with sjoelen and your CA project, groeten uit Nederland.

:P

Nice going on the CB77.

Nice going on your project. Just painted the frame on mine today. Had plenty of rust pitting, welding splatter, and slag to sand off before paint but it came out fairly nice. Most of the original slag came out of the welds during sandblasting but the pitting that was revealed took quite a bit more work. I think they were training someone how to weld the day mine was made. Started his rod about and inch away from the joint in a few spots then trailed it along the frame to get going on the joint. The splater that was left behind was quite bad too.
