Hi. It shouldn't take me long to become a member. I'll be spending hours going through the FAQ's and will have a lot of questions. I just got a '78 550K. This is my first project bike. It's not running...but it did as recently as a year ago. It needs the usual stuff...carbs cleaned, battery, gaskets etc. The intent is make a cafe bike out of it. I'm optomistic. I'm moving over to cafe bikes from the scooter scene. I still have the Vespa to ride while I get the CB up and running. I recently moved into into a condo and gave up my own garage for an underground parking space. So, the old Corvette is for sale and I'm looking forward to this new undertaking that uses a 10th of the space, no jackstands and a smaller tool box. It'd be great if any Virginia members are in the same area...let me know.
Stay tuned for pictures of this endeavor.

SMALLER tool box? How did you do that?
If it's worth doing at all it's worth over-doing.
