I LOVE MY CB500!!!
« on: May 14, 2009, 04:59:50 PM »
Well it was finally a nice day here on the rock +20c and a great evening for a ride.
Going from a 2004 cbr600rr to the 1972 cb500 was a bikg change for me but i love it.  Took a road that followed the coast line, beautiful scenery...even saw a ice berg, what can i say we have a beautiful province.. and I love my cb500.

The next ride I will take some pics.

PLease do take those Pics! My wife's family is from the rock and we keep talking about going out thre to visit hem. It is a beautiful place to say the least and that is just what I remember from when I was a really young boy. If we ever do manage to take the time to drag the trailer out to visit them I know I won't have a bike out there but I would still love to go!

 I understand.  I am starting to like my cb750 more than my cbr600.
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.

This is why I am considering selling my CBR F3 as well....I find it is a ton of fun in short bursts but leisurely longer trips just don't mix well....

Ah age over youth, wisdom over power. ;D
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!!!!!!!

Yup, I have to join on this one... Went for a ride today. New bars, new gauge faces, new UNI filter. Did the timing and valves, and she's running nice and smoooooth. Love it!
