Hello Everyone
« on: February 23, 2016, 06:08:37 PM »
Hey everyone,
Thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Tim and I live in Maryland where I work as a pastor/music director. I've always done all my own wrenching on my cars and bikes and mowers... anything with an engine is my friend. Love to work on 'em and hear 'em purr... I ride a 1980 Honda CB650C these days. Just finished getting it back on the road. It had been stored for quite a while by the previous owner. I've had it almost completely apart this winter fixing and replacing whatever it needed; carbs, brakes, steering bearings, chain and sprockets, seals, electrics, etc. 100% stock is the way I like 'em, although I put a windshield (Slipstreamer S08) on this one and would like to get a luggage rack.  Now it's ready to go, and so am I!

During the winter work...



Work done, but before the windshield install...

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. 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. Lewis

Wow, sweet bike!. Did the PO just roll it from the showroom floor to a garage and never take it out again?

Welcome to the asylum.  ;D
