Hi all!

My name is Joel and I am from upstate New York.  I just recently picked up two CB550's.  One is a '76 CB550F and the other is a '77 CB550K.  I did not get a title with the K, so right now I've been using it as a parts bike, although when Im done with the F I'd like to get the K going aswell. 

I'll try and get some photos up here for all to see next time I'm on my laptop. 

I am currently having some electrical issues with starting the bike.  I posted about it in one of the other forums, you can check it out and offer some advice if you'd like.. 

My brother has two CB350Four's and our buddies have a CB500Four, a CB500T, and a CB400T.  All from the 70's.  I just dont remember exact years for each.  We work on them all in a little one car garage-turned motorcycle shop in Rochester, NY.   

I love bikes, especially racers from the 70's. 

I'm lookin' forward to sharing tips and progress with everyone on the forum!

- Joel

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
