Hey-ho
« on: July 10, 2007, 10:54:38 AM »
New member here, I'm new to sohc Hondas too. I just got a 550F (VIN says F, title says K hmmmmm.) I have just begun to restore it to nice drivable condition. Every problem seems to lead to 2 more >:(. I hope the forum is helpful as I'll certainly need it.

Welcome! Should we call you bozo? ;-)

What year is your 555? Post some pictures if you can.

Got my first bike a while back, a 750 K3.  Without this site I'd be screwed.  I'd have had no idea which bike prejudices and crusty opinions to adaopt as my own.

I kid.

I seldom work on the bike without my laptop and this site up next to me.  Nerdy, I know.  But the best resource around.  Besides beer and cockiness, of course.

Welcome.

Never heard of cockiness being considered as a resource........but then again...........
