[Fiasco-400]

Hey everyone,

First time bike owner here!

Just thought I'd say hi as ill be browsing this site and asking many questions.

I just bought a 1976 400F from a friend ($50) which had been in storage for at least 10 years...looking to tinker with it over the winter and hopefully get it on the road in the spring/ summer.

Cheers

Welcome from north of Oshawa!  I have the earlier 350 Four that is similar to yours.  Post pictures of your new bike and be sure to ask if you have any questions - this site has a wealth of information and very helpful, interested people to assist.  Don't know if you are new to riding as well, but if so send me a PM and I can maybe save you on some local licensing  instruction from RTI.

Thx for the info! This site IS a wealth of information, don't even know where to start!

Ill post pics as soon as I get them off my camera

BTW...I am new to riding, so I'm sure ill send you a pm

Cheers

welcome from Cambridge Ontario.

We need to set up a meeting in the spring for all the area members. Or perhaps at the Paris show??

Kinda got rained out last year. I hope to have my bike on the road for this show. It would be nice if a bunch of us could go.

Don't know if any of you GTA/Ontario riders are members of the CVMG.  http://www.cvmg.camp7.org/  That is the national vintage organization that hosts the Paris Rally as well as other local events and regular gatherings.  The Great Pine Ridge district, for instance that I belong to, meets every Sunday morning with lots of vintage bikes often showing - except this time of year .  The CVMG has a "special interest" group for Cafe Racers; perhaps they should also have one for the SOHC-4.

[RustyOlive]

Awesome.. thank you for the heads up HondanutRider, I`ve checked out the site, nice bikes!... Agreed, would be nice to see more SOHC cat..
Are you aware of any such groups in the Milton, Oakville, Mississauga area?

Are you aware of any such groups in the Milton, Oakville, Mississauga area?

The CVMG is a national group all across Canada.  It consists of various local sections (Great Pine Ridge is one of them) and for your area there is also a section, probably the Credit Valley one.
