Nice ride Tommy, how come the change of wheels?
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Thailand? Cool. I was just in Udonthani a month ago. Didn't get an opportunity to visit Khonkhean.

Nice bike. What year is it?

Tommy,

Like your paint job. And I like those cast wheels too; did you have those on before or after the spoked wheels?

Best of luck with your ride!

Mai chai, mai chai Tommy. I was just visiting friends in Bangkok and Udon. And besides, I don't think she can put up with me as a husband. Ha-ha.

I was in Bangkok, near Chula, where all the auto and motorcycle repair shops are... Looking for part for my other motorcycle projects, and I found it difficult to talk with the locals. I was quite disappointed. I couldn't find what I wanted. But Thailand is so nice.

And to your question, I have a 1976 CB550 as well. Currently in repair. There was some noise coming from the crank area and I took it apart. Need more parts to complete the project.

That's a very nice bike Tommy.
I like the spoke wheels on older bikes too.
