Welcome looks a nice bike. Where did you get your import I am betting DK.  Lots of 500/550 fans on here!
By your location does this mean you are near Trigger .. the once time home of Alan Turing? Or is it Basingstoke ? If so, I go to Whitchurch quite a bit. One of my main customers is there (I am in E Yorks).

Hi, welcome, I also have a cb500/4 (well 3 but all in bits -  one half rebuilt and a k0 one waiting in the wings ) and a cb550k3, the k3 was great for fuel economy but not as pretty as the 500/4 and the carbs can be finicky.  Mine are totally worn out old clunkers, my favourite 500/4 has over 200 000 miles on it, and a sidecar. Seen one too many winters, poor thing.
Welcome to the mad house.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Your investigation skills lads is shite.  Code breaker = Bletchley park. The city with the most roundabouts 148 in the world is Milton keynes ;)
That figure is 2010 so add at least another 30 ;D
