New Guy from Seattle
« on: December 07, 2007, 01:30:56 PM »
Hey Guys and Gals, new guy here from the pacific NW. I would like to intraduce myself. It's been a while since I've been in the cycling community, and it's great to be back. Looking to meet & ride with some cool people in and around my area. My CB400F is currently under construction and about 2 weeks from completion. The Bikes being built by the talented guys over at Twinline Motorcycles in Georgetown, Seattle. I'm hoping to have it by year end.

Welcome-TomT

I used to frequent Dewey's Cycle in the late 50's!
Ever heard of 'em?
Finally got my 650 Triumph in the 80's.

Thanks gerhed, it's nice to be here. I used to frequent Dewey's all the time when they were over on 12th by the cop shop. Having a BSA usually meant having to make frequent stops into Dewey's. Dewey's and Pokes were just about the only shops I knew of at the time that sold vintage bikes. This was of course before the birth of the internet.

I still have the British made twist grip that I bought at Dewey's.
I put it on the mini bike that I made out of my Dad's lawn mower!
I lived on Magnolia--the hills killed me !
