Another USA import
« on: June 02, 2021, 10:38:36 AM »
There was a gap in the garage that needed filling, and I’ve wanted a CB750 four since I was a teenager so I bought a K8 import during lockdown last year.
It’s not quite standard, and my aim is to return it to how it should be and enjoy it.
It sits alongside an Armstrong CV500 and a Yam DT250 (which is Mai my for my 16 yr old to learn on).
I’ll no doubt be asking silly questions soon, but I’ll look for the answers on here first I promise 😉
Looking forward to using the site, and thanks for having me 👍

Howdy!

Love my K8. Hope yours is as much fun as mine.

Welcome from Texas.

Tell us something interesting that we dont know about Cardiff/Malmesbury.

Hi Steve-o
Something interesting about Malmesbury eh? It is a beautiful town in the Cotswolds area, it has a 12th century abbey, and the river Avon splits into several tributaries and runs through the town. The abbot from the abbey used to live in a spectacular house next to the abbey and the most recent owners became famous for having naked open days in the gardens

The Romans built a road called the Fosse Way that is fantastic for a bit of green-lining on my off-road bikes.
Its a lovely place to live - I work in Cardiff all week and thats not quite so lovely!
