Hi everyone. Richard (Dick) from Bedfordshire. I have a CB550F2 that I bought new in August 1977 from Coburn and Hughes in Luton for my own 21st Birthday treat. I haven't run it for several years but my plan is to service the carbs, and give the whole bike a good service and see what happens. The photo is of me on my way down to Rome in 2001.

Yes, it still looks exactly like this. Still has the MasterCard sponsorship stickers on it from my trip to Rome raising money for the Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust. It just needs a full service throughout, replacing brake/clutch seals, tyres, battery etc. I would be astonished if it didn't start! The carbs let petrol out so something isn't sealing. I used to turn the tap off at traffic lights!

Welcome, it's nice to see how long you have had your bike, I'll bet you know every part of it like the back of your hand.
Cheers
Dennis
