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 ;D 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 8)

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 8) ;D 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.
