Another old newbie
« on: October 23, 2017, 05:22:21 AM »
Thanks for the add. I’m a new cb owner. 71 model 750 that I just drug out of a shop in the woods and a 75 400/4 that is a blast to ride. I used this forum to decide on both purchases. I also own and ride a 16 Ducati Multistrada 1200. I have to admit the 400 is more fun to ride. I live in Siloam Springs, Arkansas and work as the chief engineer on a dredge on the Mississippi River. I am married with five kids and retired from the US Army. Hope to make a few new acquaintances and enjoy a new hobby. Thanks again for the awesome site and tremendous knowledge base!

Welcome from the land of the headwaters of the Mississippi.

From what is seen on line you have some nice twisty roads down there.

The roads are crooked and the scenery is awesome. Wish I was riding in the nice fall weather instead of working, but hey, gotta make it to spend it!

Welcome from Georgia................and thanks for your service.

I'm retarded.....uuuhhh.....retired United States Army too.

Welcome to the madness of vintage biking. It's a hellava ride when you get into it, so hang on.
If it ain't raining, I'm riding.....~~{iii}?~~prost

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.
