New member from Metro-Detroit
« on: September 30, 2011, 09:37:40 PM »
Hello everyone, my name is Andrew and I'm the proud new owner of a 1978 CB550K.  I grew up riding a 1969 Honda 125 scrambler around the yard and up north every chance I had.  Since then I've always wanted a bike, and not just any bike, I wanted a 70's Honda.  Simply put, they just don't make bikes that appeal to me these days.  Plus, I wanted a project.  My old man always rode Hondas, and swears by 'em (in fact, he's a little jealous of my sweet buy).  This site seems like an amazing resource, and I've already found several answers through lurking.  I figure between my dad, my manuals, and this site, I'll have all the answers I need.  I look forward to sharing my progress, and learning more as I go.

-Andrew
