Greetings from Rochester Ma.
« on: August 31, 2008, 04:48:59 AM »
Hi all-
Just joined at a friends suggetion and glad I did-
Looks like a great site, with great bikes and cool people-

I just scratched the constant itch of needing a 2 wheeled project, by scoring a nice barn find, 2 Hondas. Both are 1973 CB's. one is a 100 and the other a 175. both are very complete (sans a 175 side cover emblem and a left side side cover on the 100).

Ive enjoyed restoring a few bikes in the past, Ducati singles and a Laverda SF2. I now look forward to spending quality time in the garage with my 2 kids to share the joy of busting open a couple knuckles while attempting to free a bolt!!

I look forward to sharing details and seeking advice here with you guys-

Cheers, Mark

Hey Mark, welcome aboard! Glad you figured out how to create an account.  ;)

Post pics and descriptions of your bikes...we love pictures here. If you don't know how, give me a call and I'll explain it to you. Or, you can do a forum search and figure it out yourself. Hint: start with a www.photobucket.com account.

I hate it when I great big blood blister. You know the sort bright red.

Don't forget to post some pics on the boards so people can see your bikes.

Cheers

You should probably start a project thread for it in the "Project Shop" section. Post pictures and video!
