Well nice to have you! The A is a bit of an odd duck for some thing but we will do what we can to help you out. Most things will be familiar, except the engine and tranny. But there are a couple of other A bikes running around here.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

I think I might be one of the youngest members on the boards. I just realized I have seen anyone with an age posted below 25 yet.  ;D

I think there isa 17 year old floating around here.

Oh and glad to see you are back on a bike Jim H.  I just hope I can still do this when I am where you are at.  Prolly not too long 'till I get there, the years go by faster and faster.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.
