I've been reading the forums for many months now and thought I'd finally introduce myself.

I'm 29 and very new to motorcycles.  I just bought my first bike a few months ago and just received my license 2 weeks ago after taking the MSF Safety Course (very helpful, highly recommend to any newbies).

Once this get's approved I'll try to post a picture of my bike somewhere.  I've had a really tough time posting any new topics.

Welcome from NWI, don't worry too much about the early posts, its just a measure to keep spammers out. You need a few more posts to be able to post pix, and the first few of those will be slow. What bike do you have and where around Chi are you?

Welcome to the club and congrats on the '77 CB550. I have a '75 and am in St. Louis, maybe we'll cross paths between STL and Chicago in the future. Looking forward to seeing pics. Any plans for mods?

I'm trying to add pictures but I can't seem to get them to post.  As soon as I figure out how to do that I will add them!

Bike is 1977 Honda CB550F, however the engine is from a 75 CB550K.  It has the 4 to 1 exhaust and has a custom paint job from PO.
