Hi from NJ
« on: April 24, 2008, 11:28:30 AM »
hi board.

I started riding in 1983 because I decided to use my $400/semester BART (bay area rapid transit) money to buy my own transport.  One ugly xt500 for $300.  The xt died not long after because I didn't know that machines needed maintenance. :o

I used motorcycles as my sole mode of transport until 1995 when I moved to NJ.  I started riding w/ zero gear, went thru the squid stages, atgatt stage and now I find myself slowly becoming more complacent.  I ride a zrx1200 as my 'tool' and keep switching second 'toy' bikes. 

My new 'toy' bike is a 74 cb550.  I hope it helps me keep my rides more sedate.  My wife hopes it will be my last 'last' bike.  ;D

Be patient w/ my Q's.  I have spent the last week reading every single post here (fer real  ;D) and am kooking forward to bugging you all.   I am also in the lookout for a non-runner to 'cafe'.

Welcome!  I am looking to find that same bike!  I'm sure you're  enjoying it with the weather we've had!    Got any more pics of your bike?

Here is the one I am looking to match, yours looks very similar!
