G'day All - I come from a land down under!.
« on: January 09, 2019, 08:35:11 AM »
Hello Everyone.

My names David and at 60 I have been riding bikes full time (legally) since I was 16. Over the years I have had many a bike and many a brand. Honda's - sure!. My first registered bike at 16 was a brand new XL100. Thinking back over the decades I have had one or several of = XL100, dax 70, CB100, SL125, SL350, CB175, CB250, CB350 TWIN, CB350/F, CB500, CB750, XL185S. Now days in the garage I have a Harley Heritage Softail Classic, a Victory Vision Tour Premium, the XL185s and my newest addition which is the 1972 CB350/4.
I still enjoy tinkering with and riding my bikes today just as much as when I was a young fella.
Looking forward to spending some time reading all the info that this forum has to offer.
Cheers
David

Welcome from Georgia, U.S.A.

Sweet looking 350/4

I have purdy much the same herd as you, Harley Heritage, but the rest are vintage Hondas. 

Currently doing carb work on my 350/4. Hope to get it done soon.
