Hello from sunny Scotland
« on: January 03, 2015, 09:31:08 PM »
This is my second go at this, so not off to a good start.

Anyway, I've just bought what I think is a CB550K3, but mine was first registered in 1979 which is a bit odd, it also seems to have F exhausts fitted to it.

Chassis number - CB550K2025730
Engine number - CB550E2026451

The bike is in a terrible mess and is in need of a full restoration, I'll get some pictures of it the next time I'm over at my lock-up.

In the meantime, I'll be around asking questions and generally making a nuisance of myself.

Cheers
Andy

Oh gee, another Scotsman named Andy  ;)

Welcome to our world.

I'm sure Scottish Andy #1 will be along any time now. He's quite the character and world adventurer so you have much to live up to.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

Thanks for the welcome.

I've joined the UK group with the same name, so should keep everyone happy.

As with most Scot's I have a crabbit disposition and speak fluent sarcasm, I'm looking forward to sharing both :)

Howdy from Sunny Texas. My '76 550 has an F model header mounted on it, not to odd.






I'm sure Scottish Andy #1 will be along any time now.


Isn't he on his way to Japan?
