Hey dudes!!!!
I've been following this site for over a year now while I got my bike up and running- a completely stock '74 cb550 with 16k miles on it that was given to me by a reeeeeal nice dude i know. It's in excellent shape, even had the original owners manual with hand written matching frame/engine #s!. It didn't run and needed some TLC but it's friggin awesome now!
I've always been into Hondas, I grew up riding dirt bikes and I could alway beat the hell outta them and had a blast ridin xr's an z50's an my favorite- the atc 70's. My father owns a 71' 350 four, I think it's a ck which was kinda like a dual sport bike that I have photos of me as a baby sittin on it. It currently sits in the dilapidated shed, siezed up since the early 80's (last time we tried to start it). Whenever I'm at his house I look at it an wanna resto it but too much cash needed...another time I guess.... So along came this 550 an I'm happy as a pig in #$%* being able to own a cb and ride it too!
It's a black beauty and it runs real strong. I've put about 500 miles on it since I got it running. So, I did the first 120 mile highway ride to a beach rental and got some time on my hands to post here, polish it up, try to get my wife on the back an take her for a spin.
I'll try to post photos soon...
Thanks for havin me!!
Anyone have any method/luck for uploading photos from the iPad??
