New guy from France
« on: July 18, 2013, 02:59:21 PM »
Hello,
I have recently relocated to New York from France and I have brought my 72 CB500 K1 with me. My dad gave it to me. It is in mint condition and runs great. I used to have it maintained by a mechanic in Paris but over the years I have progressively learnt how to maintain it myself.
I enjoy working on my bike but getting parts and good advises can sometimes be challenging. I hope that I can get both here and much more :)

Looking forward to meeting y'all

cheers,
polo
