SoCal Newbie CB550
« on: January 31, 2014, 10:55:10 PM »
Just getting my first SOHC Honda.  Used to ride a lot as a kid in the 70's.  Had a 1971 CL100, then a CL175.  Gave up riding after college.  Now getting back into bike ownership and riding.  Over the last two years I have collected a couple of bikes:
1970 CT70
1970 SL175
1971 CL175
1972 CL450
1974 CB550

Trying to recapture my youth apparently.  I've been active on the HondaTwins blog for the 175's and the 450.

the Cl450 and the SL175 and the 450 together.

The SL175 is my son's beginner bike.  Didn't spend a lot on it--not trying to make it look good or anything.  Just want to teach him to ride.
