Greetings from Leavenworth, KS
« on: February 22, 2009, 06:42:37 AM »
Howdy.  I purchased a 1971 Honda CB500 last summer and have finally gotten around to tearing it down.  Which has been a lot of fun since I am a lousy wrench!  I'm a basic all-around motorhead and love cars and modern sportbikes as well.  I currently own a 1989 Ford Mustang, a Pontiac GTO 2006, a Hayabusa and my V-strom. 

Currently the bike is being torn down and should be getting it's makeover within the next couple of months.

Some of the toys are being sold off as I will be stationed in Germany this summer.  Looking forward to learning all about this great little bike I have. 

Here's a shot of the bike (I'm not a big fan of the checkerboard stickers and have some new paint in mind):

Welcome tiretread,

This is the place for info on these fine machines, looks like a nice bike you have there.
What's the bike that is next to it in the picture?
Good luck on the rebuild.

Thanks for the welcome.  The bike next to it is my parts bike.  A pretty much complete 74 Honda 550.

Tiretread,
    Welcome from SC. Do you know the corrections officers locally? If you have a line on a pallet  of 750's  in a wharehouse somewhere  let us know? If theres more than that! Not a problem. ;D
  We've got people.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Nah, don't know the local co's.  I'm here for the military school.  Wish I knew where there were some 750's.  My 550 is actually up for sale; cheap!
