Fledgling Motorcycle Enthusiast
« on: May 02, 2020, 03:36:51 PM »
Hey All!

I've recently joined the motorcycle world with an eye for vintage bikes. Last season I finally bit the bullet and bought my first bike (a '73 CB500 Four), had a friend tune it up, and got some pretty good riding in. Now that winter has come and gone, I'm back at it, but with the intent of really delving deep into the bike and everything it has to offer.

That's when I found this forum! After a browse, and using some of the really handy resources listed here, I couldn't help but join this community.

Anyway, looking forward to chatting, arguing, and (most importantly) learning from all of you!

Oh and I've attached a picture of the bike for your viewing pleasure.

Fun is all I'm looking for! Looks come later, but I definitely feel you there, every time I look at that bike I'm seeing the things that can be changed, and swapped, and on and on.

 Nice looking CB!
 I’m a new member here (officially) also, but have been looking here for a while for advice tuning my old 500 as well. It seems like we’ve come to the right place!
