Hey everybody,

It just occurred to me that I've been a member here for a few years now and have yet to post much of anything. When I realized that, I promptly and thoroughly cursed at myself and began this post.

I owe so many of you on this forum my sincerest gratitude. I went from knowing little to nothing about motorcycles just a few years ago and now I'm on my third 550/500 build and am the "go-to" for all of my friends with moto questions. 90% of what I now know I learned by reading thread after thread on here; benefiting from the unbelievable knowledge of this community.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Here are a few quick pics of a couple of my bikes:

Thanks y'all! The '77 550K is currently in tiny little pieces. Decided to take it down to the frame, powder coat, refurb the motor and do a proper build. I'll have to post up some pics in a build thread one of these days.
