Newbie in UK
« on: April 09, 2011, 08:17:26 AM »
Hi Guys,
    Just a quick intro:  I'm Paul, from Southampton in the UK. Long time rider, but currently 5000 miles away from my GSXR in Ca. I'll get back there one day....
    So, my project ride is an old #$%*ter 550, which is as we speak morphing into a street racer, or cafe racer, whichever you prefer. It has a 24liter alloy gas tank, rumored to be from the Manx GP, single seat, rearsets, detagged frame, double shear motor mounts, carbon front fender, dual discs, blah blah. Lots done, lots to do! Having a pet machine shop is a real help......
    I've just found, and hopefully bought a CB650 sohc motor, and plan on a hybrid 550/650 engine, as per Paulages thread.
    Hence my enthusiasm for SOHC4.COM.
    I'll post some pics when I get to understand the forum rules a bit better!
    Okay, enough already, just saying Hi!
