I'd be intersted in a ride sometime.  Pretty busy lately and my CB is not running yet.  Hopefully is will be alive in a few weeks.  So where is everyone located in MPLS?   I'm in NE off Johnson ST north of Home Depot.

essentially, he thinned out my stock seat with some new foam and threw some pleats on top. eh, it looks a helluva lot better than it sounds. no pics, sorry

let me know if you want to see it for some ideas, it was a couple hundred to get it redone, but worth every penny

so did this just lose interest, or is anyone still interested in meeting up?

nates custom sewing made my seat. he's an awesome guy, I would highly reccomend him to anyone. I'm thinking he'll be making some leather sidecovers for me in the fall

I guess the best way to schedule a meet/ride would be for anyone who's interested to post when they'd be available. I'm open to whenever since I'm in between semesters right now and am looking for a job.

I'm in Taylors Falls. I just bought my CB550 and don't quite want to go down to the cities yet. But there are some decent roads up here, plus a drive in with some good root beer. Who knows though, I could be interested in meeting wherever.

I'd love to see your seat too. I think it'd be cool to get a seat made locally.

I'd be interested in a quick ride some night after work.  My weekends are getting pretty busy but I'm sure I can make some time to ride since I've got the CB750 on the road now.

We could plan to meet at Betty's some evening?

Yes, 7 into Marine on St Croix is a good one! PM me or email me at redsuperhawk@yahoo.com if you ever want to head up that way again for a little ride.

Also, 65 in WI from Hwy 8 to Star Prairie, north of New Richmond, is a killer set of twisties. I highly recommend it.

I was in Mpls today and saw a CB - so I'm wondering if it was anyone here. I couldn't tell what displacement it was, but it was painted flat black, had no Honda badges on the tank. I didn't notice any mirrors, although I could've just missed them. There was a different type of amber marker light thingy on the front fender.

I don't recall what street I was on, but I was getting back to 35W from MCAD.

Anyone here?
