Topic: 1980 CB650 says Hello! from Mantorville MN

[Tubaman-Z]

Riding a 1980 CB650 and loving it (except for the leaky head gasket...I'll post about that in another forum).

Started out in college on a 1974 350Four.  Rode it for 2 1/2 hours once with my finance on the back.  Call it a lesson learned.  :-)

I ride as I am able with the Patriot Guard Riders (http://www.patriotguard.org/)  Last time I was one of only 2 non-Harley's there.

It's warming up now in MN and I started up the bike last night.  Sounded good....anxious to get out.

I haven't yet come up with a good way to carry my tuba on my bike (it's about 2/3 the volume of the bike  :-)

Hello from a fellow 80 cb650 owner.

Hi Kevin.

My son Chris plays the tuba. He's currently studying for a BMus at Trinity College of Music in London.

I know what you mean about size - not something he can transport on his bike (CG125...)

The reason I spotted your post was your username. Chris uses Tubaman42 most places (he's a fan of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy). He has two websites: www.tubaman.org.uk and www.meridianbrass.co.uk
