New Member in London Canada - 78 CB550
« on: April 01, 2008, 12:57:08 PM »
Hey Everyone,

Been lurking (hate that term, but it's true) around here for a long time.  Decided it was time to get off my ass and put together the bike that's been sitting in my garage and been in boxes since the 90's.

Been working lately sandblasting and painting parts, lucky enough to have one at work and a paint line to run parts though.  Almost have everything in place to start assembly, just have to get the frame out to be stripped and then I can paint that too.

Tons of info on this site, and the only real reason I haven't posted anything is most any info is allready here!  Just gotta dig for it!

I'm sure I'll have a few questions since its been quite some time since the bike was put together last...

Cheers,

Welcome London Lurker  ;D
Hope you enjoy the fun. Have you been to the "first" London over this side of the pond at all?

Actually I lived in Leamington Spa/Warwick for over a year while I was working on your side of the pond with Jaguar.  Had a buddy working near Luton so I spent my fair share of time in the original London.  I did enjoy my time in the UK, nothing like working out of an 11th century manor house, nothing like that over here!  And the Ale rocks!!!

But did you know my London has the Thames River too!!!

Welcome fellow 550 owner! Hate to break it to you but there's a NEW London in Connecticut. No word yet if it's new AND improved.
