Yes, this the best forum, with the greatest knowledge bank...and people willing to spread that knowledge around!
I too joined in 2009 knowing nothing about bikes except they had two wheels and were the most fun to ride! 
We got 8 inches of snow this week so I'm wrenchin' and not riding till spring.  Lucky me, I've got a heated workspace and enough unfinished projects to keep me distracted.  Just added a cb550k  to the fleet, looking forward to diving into it.
Thank you to all who make this forum the best!

 Interesting rear turn signal set-up   :)  Looks like a pretty clean project.

He he, that's a grab bar off something else that came loose from its lower mounts.  I have a correct, stock grab bar and nos signals to put on it.  The finished version will be stock.  The bike seems fairly unmolested, but really dirty.  Needs a really deep cleaning (new paint) to be road ready.

 I joined a little sooner that year and agree it's the best forum around. I was lurking and saw someone getting what I was sure was bad advise and felt compelled to register and throw my $.02 in.

  I guess I am an 09'er, also the year I retired. It hardly seems possible that it's been 10 years already.
