PxTx: Paul in the subs of Philly getting back into things
« on: January 03, 2008, 05:50:33 PM »
Just wanted to say hi.  I used to be part of the crew back in 1996 while I was in college.  I've decided to get back into the scene.  I still have some 750's, but am looking to get another 550, like my orange one. 

Here are some pics, enjoy!

Hey Paul,

I used to blast around Philly in my Yamaha 650 special back in the early 90's and hang at the Khyber and Silk City...

I'm now up in Maine tearing up the backroads.

All the best-

I decided to use this thread to post and link to different things I talk about on here regarding my bikes and various projects.

Here is a little more about this bike I picked up last spring, but not much has changed.

I would actually really consider trading this one in for a nice clean small bike, like a CB175.  I also would consider a K0 550 in orange.

Spring is here and I'm gonna get the orange bike above running I guess.  I've never ridden an 836cc Honda before, so I am looking forward to this in the next few weeks.

I posted a pic earlier of an old CB200 I had.  Figured I would post a pic here since this thread has turned into a bit of a nostalgic collection of my Honda pics.


Back in 2002 when the Metro just came out.  Note the cool shirt I am rockin!

I work with a guy that rides a metro. 

He's just about as die hard of a rider as I am.  Rides just about every day.

Nostalgia is a good thing, thanks for posting.

My sister just picked up this 750.  Runs and rides well, just needs some cleaning up.



While sorting pics I found one of my old 550 along with a DOHC 750F I had.  I painted it in the original pattern, but with different colors.


I also found a clearer pic of my K3 with the K7 tank.  It works, but I do want to put the original tank back on.
