Hey Everyone,

I'm Matt.  Joined a while back, but forgot to do all this stuff.  I got a CB 550F SS last year, then picked up another 550F and another and another.  I know have my first bike and 3 Identical 76 550F's in my shop and one CL200.  If anyones down in LA and wants to drink a couple beers and turn a couple wrenches, I'm usually around.

Haha, a belated welcome to you Matt.  You caught the bike bug with a vengeance didn't you?  Nice pic for your avatar, are you a photographer?

Yo Matt,

Nice pics of the bikes.  I was wondering who's been snatching up all the 550s in so. cal.  ;D Sorry that rear fender didn't work out. 

On another note, are you gonna be participating in the Relay at the end of April?  Check out this thread for the details.  http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=81365.0  It'd be great to have you meet us out at Willow Springs for a lap around the track!

-Fastbroshi.  Thanks man.  Yeah, coming from Southern Illinois, and now living in the LA, I'm use to having space and extra parts for what I drive or ride.  So yeah, it was only natural to start soaking up stuff once I got my Shop/Studio and take the steer by the horns. 

And yeah, Photo is what pays my bills.  That's from a series I started a little while ago about people and what they ride.  Nothing more.  So I shot myself for the first one so the people to follow would know what it was I was exactly doing.

-OWD.

 Thanks man.  That one with the motor out, I actually got down in Santee by you for a song.  But the rest are from right around here.  Thanks again for the pics and all the effort on that fender man.  I do appreciate it.

I don't know anything about it, but it sounds like a #$%* ton of fun.  I was going to try to do the 555 with my CL200, but I blew past the 500 mark a long time ago wanting to make it nice. Figures. haha.

I checked out the thread, but there's way to much going on for me to focus on there.  Can you shoot me a PM and give me the details?  I'm definitely interested in it.  I've driven Willow Springs but never ridden it.
