Hello, my name is Logan and I live in Boise, ID.  I just picked up a 74 CB550 and plan on restoring it.  Probably switch to dual discs up front and some better suspension.  Someone along the way put CB750 carbs on it but it runs great so I'm not changing it.  This site seems to have all the knowledge on these bikes so I figured I'd join up.  I have been into old motorcycles for about 7 years now starting with a GS750 for my first bike.

I now own:

74 CB550


69 CL450


71 T250


And the frog:

Ha, the frog is a 74 Fiat X1/9.  Fixed it up in PA, then drove it across the country with a girl from London.  She kept saying it looked like a frog with the headlights up and started calling it the frog, i guess the name stuck.  Now every time I flip the lights up I hear that goofy UK accent calling it the frog.
