Been a minute
« on: July 30, 2024, 03:05:48 PM »
Been about 8 years since I’ve posted.

Had to sell all my bikes because of a move to Minnesota but I’m back at it with a low miles, but not running 1974 CB550k in Boss Maroon.

I’ve already started a build thread and will be documenting the progress…and asking lots of questions. Glad to be back k and looking forward to the wealth of knowledge this forum brings.

Thanks in advance.
