Hello from California Bay Area
« on: June 26, 2023, 12:14:20 AM »
Greetings fellow motorcycle enthusiasts!

Although I'm new to this forum, my passion for motorcycles has been an enduring part of my life. I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and my beloved 1971 CB500F K0.

Welcome aboard from NH.
Looks like a fun bike though I can't ride like that because of my back. The 500/550 was a great package from Honda. Lightweight yet powerful and build ability to outrun a CB750 because of the better handling.
I stayed at my aunt and uncle's in Belmont Canyon for a couple months during the winter of 79/80 escaping the brutal cold of the Colorado mountains, then rode to Daytona to see the races and finish off the winter in Florida before heading back to Colorado for the summer building ski homes.
