Idiot who bought a CB500
« on: April 07, 2011, 08:16:00 PM »
Hey everyone,

I've been lurking on this forum for a bit, then decided to buy a bike off my buddy. I'll be asking a lot of dumb questions and doing a lot of dumb things. I've never done anything like this, so I figure this is a great opportunity to have fun, and if it doesn't work I'll only be out a few bucks.

I'm in the NW burbs of Chicago so it looks like there are a handful of local guys around that I may be begging to help!

Mike

Welcome Mav, If your going to be a part of this little family here you've got show us some pictures of your new project. Why are you a idiot? A lot of guys here would sell the family farm and maybe even the wife to have a CB500. ;) ;)
Good luck

you're less of an idiot than me - you at least have a bike.
