[lennonG]

Hello, my names Lennon, 27 years old from Saskatoon, and i just recently bought my first real bike (had an aprilia scarabeo 200 in highschool).. its a 1980 cb650c, got it for $400. Not running, needs a carb cleaning and throttle cable.. I plan on making a thread to post pictures (once i can) and ask questions as i'm new to all this! I've already been lukin through the forum and its already helped a lot! good to be here!

edit, i can post pictures now so here it is!

Welcome here, Lennon! If I know Saskatchewan, you've got a few weeks to work on the bike before riding season begins in earnest. I'm over in BC, but still not ready to start riding yet... I'm in the interior, so there's still a bit of snow around, not to mention all the pea gravel from 'sanding' this winter! The sweepers are supposed to start working this week. The bigger issue is that I'm in the middle of fitting a GSX-R front end on my '76 750K... I've got my wheel laced on a shiny new Cognito Moto hub, but I've yet to tighten and true it. Then there's a bit of fab work for fitting the forks. Anyway, I hope to get it on the road this summer!

Well, happy trails! Keep the shiny side up.

thanks! funny thing is, all last week it was like +10 and all the snow melted, now today (and all week) its snowing... ughh.. got a space heater set up in my garage at least, should give me time to get my bike running smooth! good luck with your project,i'm sure it'll be finished by the time the roads are calling your name haha
