Hi from Holland!
« on: August 18, 2015, 07:09:15 AM »
Hi I'm Joeri and live in The Netherlands.

I'm a bike enthousiastic and drove many miles with different rides. My current ride is a '07 Triumph Street Triple (awesome ride):


My grandfather gave me the motorcycle blood and left me a '31 FN M71 (yes, a really old Belgian bike), which is currently displayed at my office (no licence plate...):


I always had a dream of building my own café racer and the CB's of Honda happen to be a great platform. So I recently bought a '72 CB500 Four for my very first project:


I'm a total noob but a fast learner with a lot of patience, so I have to learn a lot so I figured that this is one of the places to be!

So I think I have a lot of questions coming up...!

Hi Stev-O!

The CB was in running condition. Actually I've enjoyed a couple of hundred miles first before taking it a part... It was running great!

Thanks!

First things first: the CB500...!

After that (and if I have some more room at home) I'll put some love in the FN!
