Good day all, I would first like to thank everyone on this forum for all the help they didn't even know they gave me. You guys helped get me up and running. The Knowledge here is amazing!
I am on my second '81 650 custom of the year. I got my first earlier this year and spent the winter fixing it up. I dropped it two weeks ago
Luckily I am bck up and running on another '81 650 custom with little more than a hurt pride. I just got into bikes this year and liked the looks of the old CB's. The question was what year to get? I figured I would pick one as old as I am so 1981 it was. I chose the 650 because , one, it was what i could find, second, it is a great starter bike. I went into it with little knowledge of bikes, and had never rode one in my life. I love it! In my job I work on the latest technology highway trucks (Volvo Trucks) where everything is big, heavy, and overly complicated. My bike is small, light and I could fix it with rubber band if needed. Working on my car is a chore and reminds me of work. Working on the bike is second best to riding it, and there is nothing I would rather be doing. Greetings from Dundas Ontario Canada! BTW, the first 650 was complete. I am not looking to activly part it out but if you are stuck looking for a hard to find part, I just may let it go.
