wow, another member!
« on: August 13, 2007, 01:50:04 PM »
Brooklyn rider, 1976 CB400F SuperSport - parakeet yellow.

Oddly enough, circumstances out of my control have left her in the shop and I am currently without a ride. The good folks here have already been more than helpful in attempting to put me in touch with my second bike in less than a few months.

Grew up riding dirtbikes, quads, tris, the like ... in college had me a little Honda Rebel 250 to get around in Philly and decided at he beginning of this season (with the encouragement of my girlfriend ... we quickly grew tired of me riding #$%*!) to finally get my own.

Loved the CB400 and will use that as a project bike but in the meantime I may end up with a bigger bike if it suits. On the fence, as it were, on a CB750...

Looking to help out the community here in New York by creating a Google Maps based site that will chart holes/hazards/etc. If it works, it could chart anywhere in the world. Nearly ready for a test run!

Thanks for such a great resource.

That sounds like a good idea to chart the pot holes, cause i've seen some monsters holes while visiting NYC.

Sadly, it would be a very busy map here in Michigan. ;)

Great to see a fellow NYer here. Welcome.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
