Good Morning,

I just joined the page and forums today. I just bought my very first motorcycle on Sunday 7/21/2019 for just $200! what a deal right?! Her name is Irelynn and she is an 1981 Honda CB650. My boyfriend really got me to enjoy riding so much, that I decided to venture into it myself. His stepdad also rides and they both; buy, take apart, rebuild and enjoy riding and currently have 10 project bikes. My goal, with the help of them and from this group, I too want to rebuild her. I have goals and plans and I am very excited to be apart of this world.
Starting off with replacing the tires and rebuilding the carbs so I can start learning to ride her before truly getting deep and dirty.

Hi, and welcome from Georgia, U.S.A.

Good for you finding a 81 650, and only 200 bux...................good deal.

Good luck, sounds like you have plenty of knowledge around you, but plenty more here.

BTW.....pictures are a must.

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