hello from Los Angeles
« on: November 18, 2013, 07:36:20 PM »
names Josh
a couple of months ago i fell in love with the idea of owning a motorcycle so i started looking around and bought a beat up cb500 and started fixing it up at a shop i found through craigslist

I went into this not knowing anything about motorcycles not even knowing how to ride yet (embarassing i know) so im glad a i found this forum cause its helping alot and i know this will be a learning experience

Would appreciate any tips/tricks/comments/words of wisdom for a 24 year old newbie

Haven't actually seen it running but from what the guy tells me he said it rips and runs good
Needs wiring and harness done
