Hello from Massachusetts
« on: December 24, 2023, 08:21:33 PM »
Hello, I've been a member of SOHC4 since the early days and have always seen references to this forum for specific info, I thought it time to join you here. I've been turning wrenches since about the millennium, my first bike and ongoing project is a 1973 US spec CB750K3, I also have a CB750K8, '65 CB160, a trio of CB250 Nighthawk projects, a pair of 50cc 2-stroke scooters, and most recently a' 20 Royal Enfield Interceptor in Orange Crush which is currently my only runner.
Thanks for having me here.

Welcome to the forum Alan F.

Visited a friend in RI a few times and had chance to drive around explore a little MA and RI, both really interesting states with some nice riding roads there.

Wasn't that the Bee-Gees Ted  :) or did I miss the Hollies rendition  ;D

I stand corrected K2-K6 it was the Bee-Gees as per my later link.

My excuse is both groups were high pitch voices with male harmony - tbh just my memory aint what it was.
