New to Vintage Bikes
« on: January 01, 2008, 03:07:26 PM »
Hello everyone.  I am From Southern California.  I own a few bikes.  I have a 2003 Honda RC51 and a recently aquired 72 cb350f.  I just purchased it for a staggering price of 75 dollars.  It needs alot of work, but I plan on restoring it into a cafe racer.  I am hoping to get insight from everyone here and direction on my project.

Welcome. Just what we need, another member who can ride year-round. >:( ;D. Just being sarcastic, been away from home for a few days and had to dig through 10-12 inches of wet snow to get the car off the street. >:( >:(

Post pics when you can.

Welcome from Maine.

We snowbound bunch can be a little jealous in mid winter...

I have so much damned snow at the end of the driveway that yesterday I climed on top of the 8 foot snow bank and shoveled the top 3 feet off so that I would have somewhere to put today's new 8 inches...

To make myself feel better, I polished up my oil pressure gauge and points cover tonight.

Ride on brother, ride on..... and welcome to the forum.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes.  I promise not to talk to much about all the beautiful riding weather we have here.  I look foward to getting to know the forum a bit more and soon I will post pics of my newly aquired bike.  Due to finances and family, that build is going to take along time but, I will post up what ever I do to it.

20 years uhh!, that is a long time, that might be something like my time frame.
