New CB owner in DC
« on: June 12, 2010, 08:23:06 PM »
New DC CB owner here!  I'm new to SOHC's and also new to DC.  I recently bought 2 CB's a d am looking forward to riding this season in DC.  Any vintage riders in the DC area?

75 CB400F- 5K original miles.  All original and unrestored.  This bike runs like a top.  I am considering a full restoration for this bike.  Also tossing up the idea of building a cafe but dont want to modify it as it's in such complete condition which is rare. 



71 CB500- 6K original miles.  Unrestored beauty.  The pipes have been replaced but that's the norm on these bikes I hear due to a drainage problem.

Thanks- 

Let me know if there any CB riders in the District or good vintage riders groups in the VA/MD surrounding areas.  It would be great to meet some of the locals.
