I used to live on forums, it's been a very long time since I joined one but here I am... *waves*
I'm Noz aka Naomi, I'm 45 and I live near York, I'm from Hitchin originally and I was pointed in your direction by my friend George/Athame57. I've lived in Yorkshire for 10 years now, still sound like a Mockney though    I'm just finishing off level 3 bike mechanics at Wakefield college, been a biker my whole life. I have 2 bandits that I built and it appears that I'm now being recommended to fix/rebuild people's bikes. I had just started a job as a bike technician at a local garage but C19 put paid to that  I had been rebuilding a T100 there but they sold it before it was done.

I am currently working on a 1977 CB550 Four F2/F3 goose-neck chopper, which has stood for 23 years in a garage. I'm in the progress of pulling it apart and making lists of required parts and making friends with Honda parts companies. I look forward to learning more about this bike, your knowledge will be invaluable. I will probably create a build thread on here, it's currently on that platform that stole the soul from these forums. I miss forums, it's nice to be back on one.

Hi Noz, Glad you found us. We are decent bunch on here. This and the Laverda forums are the only ones I am on, I don't do 'instatwitterface' or the like.
Looking forward to the rebuild thread so 'the floor is yours' as they say

Cheers. I was mainly on the streetfighter or rat forums from 2009ish. I don't really frequent fb bike groups much these days, too many muppets. I went on the MZ one when I was rebuilding my dad's Saxon 251 but I soon left, it was a tad toxic. I can banter like the best of them but some take it too far and then don't like it when you bite back      I'm sure it'll be reet.

Best crack on with this bike, I've spent all day researching parts etc, I still need to strip it down and most of the bolts are rusted, even with a can of spray. I'll add a build thread up later.

Welcome 

I know what you mean about FB but this forum hasn't really been affected by it as far as I can tell and seems to go from strength to strength.
