Finally getting out to shows again after lockdown.
« on: June 14, 2021, 04:43:35 AM »
Had the 1974 CB 350F out to a show for the first time since lockdown started.

Early morning at the Scout Centre Newton Aycliffe near Darlington, Northern England. Just a small local show.

The CB 350F always creates a lot of interest over here as it was never officially imported into the UK.

It look good on it.

I too will have my 75 CB750 out Wednesday for bike night, 1st time out in a year and a half since putting it away for the winter in 2019. I rode my goldwing to San Diego from NH and got stuck there last year. I just returned on the wing a week ago and got the 750 fired up on Saturday, registration brought up yesterday. It sure was great to get it fired up again. It does the soul good to hear it pur after that long in storage. Proper preparation to store pays off. I didn't ever think it would be sleeping as long as it did. I can't wait for a ride......
