CB550 Cafe Project in TX
« on: April 08, 2007, 07:48:12 PM »
Hello.  Just registered after finding your site - Great Info. I'm in the Houston, TX area and have a CB550 Cafe Racer Project in the garage.  Right now I'm working on getting the garage cleared / organized enough to use and getting info and ideas for the bike.

Thanks, Phil

Thanks, everyone.  KG, I appreciate the heads up - hadn't thought to even look for a local cafe group.

Most of the ton up guys in Houston are pretty OK...

JRrobertsJr is the chapter rep and a member here.

Remember every organization has one of "those guys" who likes to give people hell (not JR BTW)

Check out their site at www.tonuphouston.com
