I ride a 1975 CB550 that I've had since 1997.  Lots of good info on here and looks like a good place to hang out.  I need to show my bike a little more tlc, because its been good to me.  I started riding in the early sixties, first with a Zundapp 250 for a couple of months and got the bug for more power so I bought a new 1962 Norton Atlas.  Other bikes that I owned in the period were a Ducati 250 scrambler, BSA Road Rocket, and 1966 BSA scrambler.  Quit riding for a long time until I got the 550.  I'm currently wrestling with a frozen bleed screw on my front brake caliper.  I think I'll have to go with the Thegman insert, but I'll get another caliper for the interim from fleabay or crc2.

Welcome!

Got pics?  Not just of your current bike either, sounds like you've owned some nice ones.
