Howdy from San Jose CA
« on: February 26, 2014, 06:37:32 PM »
Hello All,

I'm new around here so I wanted to introduce myself. After quite a few years without a bike, I just purchased a '78 Honda CB550, and I'm super happy to be back in the saddle. I'm looking forward to digging in and learning all I can about it, and slowly fixing it up. I was referred to this community by a friend, and I look forward to following what's going on and hopefully connecting with a few folks. Cheers, Matt

Hey Matt! Congratulations you found the right place for your project. I have a CB750K8 in Pacifica. I must say you guys have the best roads for having a blast. I would recommend when you get your bike up and running take the trip up to the Lick Observatory. It is really incredible on all accounts.

Welcome aboard Matt. You'll find lots of inspiration and support on this board.
Have fun.

I would recommend when you get your bike up and running take the trip up to the Lick Observatory. It is really incredible on all accounts.

My wife & I are flying to San Fran, renting a GS1200 and plan on riding up to the Lick Observatory too.
Does that road continue east of the observatory of is it a in & out ride. That sounds a bit perverted. LOL

FunJimmy, Highway 130 continues on. I have only gone to the observatory but if you look at a map of the area it's nothing but crazy wonderful roads. The view from the top is nothing but awe inspiring. I would highly recommend it.
