New guy to classic bikes
« on: January 05, 2008, 02:31:44 AM »
As my name suggests, I"m Bob, and I've got a CB550 Four of 1975 vintage. 
I never really thought I'd bail on the sportbike style, but this bike is just too much fun. 

I"ve had other bikes before this one,  a few of which I'd hated with a passion. suzuki is among my top listed bikes to hate now.     

Hope to have a great time here, and learn a lot from you seasoned guys, maybe share some tips and tricks I've come across.

Welcome from a guy that is also new to Vintage bikes.  I recently purchased a 72 cb350f in hopes to restore it to a cafe bike.  I also road sports bikes and even road raced them for the past 15 years, and have been looking for something to spark my enthusiam for bikes.  I am excited of the possibilities. Good luck on your build up!

Welcome, you do realise there will be no turning back once you are addicted to a classic Honda SOHC!

how about posting some details/photos of your road racing in the open forum, I among others are always interested in this topic.

I dont WANT to turn back, ever.  now that I've got it running good, I'm in love with this little hotrod.    this addiction is one of the best I've ever had.
