Hello to all from Normandy, France
« on: February 25, 2017, 12:17:26 PM »
Introducing myself, British expat in France 14 years. Brought over with me my 1964 CB77 ( Bill ), just finished a refurb. and is back on the road, and my CB750A ( Henry ),  which needs work on the carbs (the dreaded cracked rubbers),

Will try to add some photos when I've worked out how to do it !

Happy riding to all.

Chris

PS: here are the photos. Colour schemes are my own - apologies to the purists ! My Automatic is a 77 model, imported to UK by PO, and "restored" (badly). Has been run regularly over here until recent problems with air leaks at the manifolds.

Hello from the new world.

My forefathers bounced around from France,  England and Holland before landing in New Amsterdam in 1692.

Hi, hello to you. I understood some years ago there may be only 3 in France. No dealer here I have spoken to has ever seen one. I always have to explain what it is to the many who stop and want to chat.

Regards,
Chris.
