Not new, but new screen name...
« on: May 23, 2016, 09:47:38 AM »
Been a long time since I have logged into SOHC4. So long, in fact, that I can't remember my login/password.

So, I created this one. I used to be known as JustinLonghorn, and now go by Mr. Longhorn. Ha.

Took a few years off from owning an inline 4 (still have a Goldie). But I am currently working on rebuilding a CB550 for my dad. It was given to me for free, and probably for good reason. Motor completely locked up. Rust holes the size of Rhode Island in the sides of the gas tank.

So, I'll probably need a hand or some sage advice whilst getting this old girl running again.

It's good to be back,

Justin

Think I bought a 400F from you several years back, during the GranPrix in Balt.  All I remember is the horrendous traffic jam coming and going and you recommending Chipotles.  Larry
