CB500 new oldbe

[Seabeowner]

Hello all,
Had a new CB500 in 1974 and hopefully have attached a picture.... as I'm hopeless at the social networking side. More oil and dirt and in the garage sort.
Semi retired now and have a 500/4 for the last 12 years (lots of money spent and still with a few engine issues) mostly standing in the corner of my garage. Have some spares also.
Never stopped biking (except winters) and use an ER6N for motorcycle transport. (am I allowed to mention a Kawasaki). Had Z650s for a long while, but as a shorty/weakling I have decided to revisit CB500s as they were my first love. (don't tell the wife). Looking for another bike for my lad also.
Great site of like minded people working together.
Roll on summer,
Phil

I had a gold cb500 back in 1972 and still think it was the best bike i have ever owned.
May start looking for one when i have the current project finished.
Happy riding.
