new member from the Bay Area, CA
« on: October 03, 2024, 02:42:56 PM »
Hello all, thanks for having me here. I have just started riding again after selling off my previous motorcycle in 2018 (a 2005 suzuki gsxr 600).
I am now riding a 76 cb550f that I got from my coworker.

Rode less than 10 miles and decided to tinker with the motogadget mini that was acting intermittent and boom, electrical gremlins galore when I pulled of the custom gas tank.

Now I am here trying to learn all I can as newer territory for me. I do a motoshop down the road that works on japanese bikes so I got them as well.

If you see me riding wave or say hi, I just ride to get coffee on my days off now.

Welcome

550s are fun bikes and capable of doing some serious miles.
