  Welcome to the fun forum,

 lots of help and advice ,great choice of bike ,

 good to have more 500's on here

Thank you :)

When it eventually arrives here it will be the first step for me reliving my misspent youth in the 70’s all over again :)
Love it, my misspent era started in 1978 and still continues to this day.......and long may it last 😀😀😀

I have lots of info for the 500, manuals, parts books, service letters etc. What year is the one you have comming? Best of luck with it they are far lighter and more manouverable than Harley Fergusons

Hi guys,

 nowadays due to health, terrible roads here, traffic from hell and having the attention span of a goldfish any bikes are just an ornament that I pass the time of day buggering about with. It's in the blood.



Welcome Steve, If you need someone to take the 500 for a run........

Seriously you will find it easier to handle that the Harley plow puller. Remember your retired and take it out when its quiet. Plenty of lovely b roads in your region.

Thank you :). It’s a 1975 which is the same and the same colour as the one I had back then too. Anything other than that I don’t know about as I haven’t seen it yet. My wife bought it for me and it doesn’t arrive here now until Thursday.

Thanks and I will bear that in mind but I think it’s a bit of a winter project first :)

I expect it brakes and handles better than the bloody HD thing too (until memories of the 70’s start flooding back at least :) )
