Hi from Kentucky
« on: March 15, 2009, 03:25:36 PM »
Hi all.I'm 34 from NE KY.Just bought a 73 CB500F in fairly good shape w/20000 miles. A carb cleaning and had it running and riding. Needs a good weekend of tinkering and i think I'll have one I'll keep for awhile. Anywho, was browsing for anything on the old honda 4's and came across this site and had to join you all. I'm glad i'm not alone when it comes to the enjoyable ride i get from an old cheap honda.I've had a couple 750Four's in the past and loved them but they were always too top heavy for me but I also ran them too hard in corners. I'm 5'7" and 140lbs. My first impression of the 500 though left me feeling good.Can't wait to tune the carbs and clean the tank.I haven't had a bike on the road for a few years so I'm looking forward to this. :)
