Greetings
« on: August 09, 2005, 01:52:23 AM »
Hello.  I've been checking out this site for some time now, even posted a couple of replies in your forum.  I figured it was time to formally say hello to everyone and let all of you make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside with your kind and heartfelt welcomes.  I have a 1975 cb550K, slightly modified.  Long hours in the garage and the tech info on this site helped me transform it from a $200 non-running eBay purchase into a nice everyday runner.  I've been into cars all my life, but this is my first bike.  Looking foward to getting to know all of you.

Hopefully I will get pics posted this weekend.  I have to borrow a digital camera.

What sort of bikes you all running?  Stock, modified?  I'd check out the gallery, but I still have dial-up, so it takes forever to download/upload (whatever) pictures.

So that's why you have a pilot's license, not to fly, just to have access to a hangor to store all these..right?  ;D ;D

Actually Bob, The hanger is to store all the parts. The attached Airconditioned office is to build bikes in.  ;D

The pilots license just pays for the parts.  ;)

I really should learn impulse control..........Damn E-bay!
