Introducing myself - Shooter from NZ
« on: January 30, 2008, 06:01:48 PM »
A very late introduction of myself to the forum.  I have been hanging around here for the ten months it has taken me to finish (almost) the '76 CB550  Cafe Racer you see pictured. ....Before and after pix.

Thanx for the help, ideas and inspiration ( whether you knew you were supplying it or not!)

I come from Auckland, New Zealand and also ride a Ducati S4 and a scoot bike.

This project entailed taking a very good running bike and turning it into a better one.  It has been great fun and I look forward to riding it as much as the other bikes.

I am also a member on the "dotheton forum" which also has been very encouraging and inspirational.
