First run on 550 in a long time!

Ok. It was only about 15 miles but I’d almost forgotten what this old bike was like to ride. Had a great time and just pleased that she’s running again.

PS. First post on here for a while too.

Just purchased my first 550 two weeks ago after about 30+ years of not riding.  What a joy to get back on the bike!  Best of luck with your bike!

Nice bikes, lighter, lower and nimbler than the 750 but fast enough to get you in just as much trouble!
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).
