New guy here from Texas. '74 CB350F.
« on: June 04, 2014, 05:18:19 AM »
Hey, guys. Just wanted to introduce myself. Name's Danny, I just picked up my first bike (along with my wife), and decided to sign up here for some great knowledge bases and toubleshooting tips.

I picked the bike up with only 5k miles from my wife's cousin's husband, who gave me a killer deal on it. He's a bit of a bike guru and fixed it up pretty well before I got it (New paint, tires, gauges, rebuilt carbs, points, odd and ends). Already spent half my budget on new parts for it, and I can't want to start tinkering. First things to go in will be a Pamco ignition and Dyna coils to replace the points, then I'll be switching to a set of drag bars and GT style levers.

Here are a few pics of the bike along with my wife's CBR250.

Two little beauties! Great time capsule as well between the "then" and "now".

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Welcome, and nice bikes. So , you picked up your wife along with the bike............good deal.. ;)

Can't wait to get my 350F painted and put back together, and on the road.

Haha...I probably should have worded that differently. She picked up her bike about a month before me. We both just took our BRC and got our M endorsements.

Appreciate the compliments!

There is no better activity to enjoy with a spouse than riding. Great adventures together, away from the stress of family and work, and serene moments under each other's helmets.

Kudos to you both!
