Howdy from Texas
« on: July 02, 2023, 11:18:12 AM »
Howdy, my name is CT and I’ve got a CB350F that I’m trying to restore.  This is my first bike which was supposed to be used to learn with, as I’d never owned nor ridden a motorcycle before, but it was not in quite the running condition it was sold to me as.  I’ve learned more about wrenching than riding, but I refuse to give up on because these old bikes just speak to me.  I’ve been lurking for a while but am creating an account to ask more specific questions on this journey.  Thank y’all for what y’all do.
