Hello
« on: October 01, 2023, 01:56:44 AM »
Hello from Wisconsin,
My name is Dan. I have been riding for around 40 years. I started with a CL350 in highschool. A elderly friend was getting out of riding and sold me a 78 CB750. It had been sitting for years and after an afternoon of working on it I drove it home 30 miles. It reminded my of when I first started riding. It came with some extras that I am trying to sell to finance the restoration. I love old Hondas.  :)

Welcome to the forum Dan.  Your story sounds like so many of us here.  My love of Honda bikes started some 50+ years ago.  ;)

You will regret the bikes you DIDN'T buy much more than the ones you DID!!!  It's never too late to start a new adventure!
