Hi from Downunder
« on: March 01, 2018, 07:17:21 AM »
Hi all
I am Andy.. hailing from Sydney Australia..
I have been a member of the other SOHC forum for a little while.. well since I bought my CB400F.
Having had a look around on here.. I just had to join as there is a lot more info and discussion on the CB400F.
I have already scrolled through some of the great threads and picked up some great info.
I will get around to putting up a project thread with some pics.. but I am in the middle of another project right now (a Yamaha SRX250) so I should try to get that mostly finished before I start on the Honda..maybe :)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.. jeez the weather is a bit savage over there right now.. .we are having to suffer through daytime temps of 28 to 35 depending on the day... it is cooling off a little now as summer has ended :)
All jokes aside.. I hope everyone stays safe in those Ice / Snow storms. We have family up north (Yorkshire) and were there last year for a wedding around this time and it was cold enough then..

I am finding a lot more info and love for the little 400 here and that will be a big help to me as I move through the restoration project.
And it does help to be on the correct side of the road as well.
