Hello from Brooklyn.
« on: November 24, 2009, 05:03:15 PM »
Hello. My name is Christian and I live in Brooklyn, NY. Just picked up a '72 CB500 Four yesterday. Trying to learn as much as I can about it. Here is a pic I took right before bringing it home. Looks pretty stock as far as I can tell.

I am completely new to motorcycles. Only been riding for a few weeks now.

Welcome from Westchester County. If you can ride in Brooklyn, you can ride anywhere. In the spring head up this way, I meet a lot of people from the Bourghs up here on weekends. Sweet looking ride, real sweet.

Thanks for the welcome. Had to get a new battery today. But then had a chance to ride around slowly in the rain for a bit today. So much fun.

Firsts for today include...learning to not leave the bike with the key turned to the parking position, discovering a dead battery, learning to kickstart the bike, getting a new battery because the old one wouldn't hold a charge, running out of gas, switching to reserve and putting gas in it for the first time.
