New to motorcycles
« on: May 30, 2008, 11:58:14 AM »
Hello all. My name is Dave and I have been riding for about a year.  I have one bike: 1973 Honda cb500f.  It was mostly original when I got it, and in very good shape.  I had to do minimal carb work (change gummed up needle valves) to get it to stop pissing out the overflows.  I removed the sissy bar seat that came on it and am planning on doing some cafe style mods to it.  I will post pics as soon as I take some.
