newbie from texas
« on: November 04, 2006, 05:57:45 PM »
Hello all.....I am new in here, but have been a bike rider since I was 15. Now I am 50 and I am just getting back into it.

I bought a 1973 CB500K2 recently and am in the early stages of starting to try and make it into some sort of cafe racrer style bike. I have a lot of questions and will probably make a nuisance of myself before all is said and done.

Thanks! I am looking forward to being involved on here.

Welcome aboard, Greg. Ask away. There are a lot of very talented people out there to help you through your project.

And when you need entertainment, go into the open forum. Have popcorn and your favourite beverage to hand when you do so....

Welcome Greg!

I know what they say about Texas:  Everything is bigger in TX. (especially the SOHC wheelies)  ;)
