A newbie to the site from England.
« on: June 26, 2019, 12:07:13 PM »
Hi Guys, Though certainly not new to motorcycles, have enjoyed owning many different machines in my time and now have found my way to owning a 1979 Honda CB550 F2.
Picking it up this coming Sunday.
Not sure how to add a photo yet but as soon as I have worked that out will post a few.
Cheers Robbie.

Nice looking machine...... the black tail light bracket gives it away as a “Brit Model”. Was that required on all imports at the time? Welcome from Canada!
