Topic: New- Real old member

[333]

I am Stan from McLean Virginia.  I have a CB350F0 and a 69 CT70  The real old part comes from when I used to belong to the original list server group.  When I rejoined about 2 weeks ago, Glenn said I was member 162.  I used to work at a large dealer, first in accessories(clothing, aftermarket...) and then in parts(factory original).  In getting the bug to ride again, I thought I'd dust off the 350.  Somewhere along the way I thought of the SOHC Group and here I am.  The bike isn't worthy of pics yet.  I am planning a complete makeover so when that happens, I'll post 'em.

Welcome from a fellow CB350F owner.  I am not sure if mine is an F0 or an F1.  I always thought it was a '72 but the engine number seems to suggest a '73.

Hey, Stan, I would welcome you, but mebbe it should work the other way around. ;-)  For those of us new timers, it's good to see senior members pop back in.  Good luck on getting your 350 done soon.  I know we have several active members in the Commonwealth, and I seem to recall a few members from the Maryland area; you may want to cast about for some members near Maclean.

Yo Stan,

Johnny-from-belgium here (#158). Welcome to the forum. Like you I got hung to long on the old list.

333,

Wondering about your avatar.
Are 3 wheels one of your things.
I am somewhat of a practitioner.

The avatar pic was something I found at a jet car site, but 3 wheels are of great interest to me.  Sidecars to be exact.  I don't currently have one, but I had a Jawa at one time and regret letting it go.  I also built one for a CB125S thumper years ago.  It was for cargo only, although I tried to get the dog to ride in it (unsuccessfully).

So, what is that trike you sent a pic of?  The "nose" looks like a sidecar body, the handlebars somehow connected to what looks like automotive style steering, and power?  Looks like a lot-o-fun to ride!

333-

The pictured machine has a 74 CB360 engine--tiller steering.
Had to leave it in a barn up in NY a while back. It awaits my return.
In the interim I've built an electric tilting 3-wheeler--one of a kind, I think.
