New from Salt Lake City, Utah
« on: March 27, 2013, 06:17:40 PM »
Well I am excited to have been accepted to the prestigious forum of SOHC4, and i hope to gain some needed information from the wealth of knowledge floating around.

A little about me, I have been riding motorcycles for many years but have found my way toward a '77 Honda CB550k that i thought to have been completely restored :(. What I have come to discover is a myriad of problems to with now I am most defiantly in over my head.

Don't get me wrong i love my "new" bike but am not the most mechanically inclined and now i am fighting my way through unfamiliar territory.

I am also currently the busiest man alive according to my wife, I juggle a full time job maintaining a water system for a local city, full time school at the University of Utah (trying to finish my degree i started 10 years ago), playing army with the Utah National Guard on the weekends and, lastly but most importantly squeezing time in for my 2 year old son. Somehow it gets done and with any luck I will find time to get my bike running a little better.

Thanks,
Rick Maloy

Rick,

Welcome to insanity. These old Hondas make engineers of us all  :D  The bike looks nice.

Sounds like you may be too busy to help us escort Godzilla through Utah on the 2013 SOHC4.net Relay Rally?! We'd love to have you for part of the journey and we ALWAYS need more Utah riders!
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)
