Hi, last "old" bike I had was a '76 Bonneville in 1985!  Had new ever since, and just sold my 2015 Ducati Scrambler.  2 hours after I sold it I started looking for an old 70's Honda and came across a slightly modified 550 super sport from 1975.  It's being shipped from NSW next week and can't wait to learn some mechanical skills again. 
I live in Brisbane with a beautiful understanding wife and 3 fluffy white dogs.  Both the kids have moved out and retirement is coming in just 6 years! 
I'd become bored with the bikes I have been riding the last 20 years which is why I'm going to this old Honda.  I've already looked around here and am impressed by all the manuals and projects that people have submitted!  Hope to see some of you out on the road sometime.  Cheers
