New member saying hello
« on: August 31, 2017, 10:21:12 AM »
I am a New Hampshire USA resident.  I joined because I want to acquire a Honda SOHC four.  Leaning toward a 400f, cause it looks like a fun ride (six speed, RPMs out the wazoo).  The pipes are quite lovely, too.

I have in my barn my old Suzuki T20 (250cc two stroke).  Jay Leno describes the exhaust sound as a "can of bees".  Last rode it in 1987.  Someday I may bring it back to life, but to return to motorcycling I would like a four stroke.  Love my Honda 90 horse outboard, so sticking with the quality brand.

Just had my second hip replaced.  For the decade before, I would not have wanted to sit on a motorcycle due to hip pain, but all pain is gone and I have an opportunity for fun that I was not sure would come my way again.

I am good with a wrench but have not worked on a motorcycle for 30 years.  This forum should be quite a help to me.
