Newby from USA
« on: September 02, 2019, 04:46:28 PM »
Just found this site looking for the SOHC4.net site, which appears to be offline for the 3rd day?

Looks like a good one with some good resources!

Been riding and tinkering with old stuff for quite a while, but always trying to learn something new.

I have asked Glenn what’s going on.

He’s either on holiday and hasn’t noticed, or it’s more serious. We did have a denial of service attack (or the server did anyway) a while back.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Yes, that is my K8 in the avatar, my other daily riders are a 550K, and a 305 Dream, ...my T500(Suzuki) is still a basket case for now.

BTW, I stopped in a new local shop today an found some beautiful British Iron on display!   Hope not to offend anyone here, but I like them all!

Welcome brewsky
I like the photos looks more like a bank than Motorcycle shop, certainly different to the bike shops we have here.

It actually is an old bank converted to a shop!

Welcome to the forum brewsky.

It's amusing that those brit bikes have a small bowl under each one  ;D

When I first walked in and the salesman asked if he could help me, I said "yes, get me one of those bowls to drool in"

I was actually thinking about negotiating on the '68 CB350 but the price is pretty high
