« on: September 08, 2020, 11:44:15 AM »
Hi to the group.  Looking forward to learning a lot about my CB550.  Had the bike a while but just prepping it for the road and keen to use it a lot more.  Purchased the K3 about 8 years ago and not done many miles.....yet..!!  Already had some help wit( my first question so thanks for that.

I have 2 other bikes, a 1992 CBR1000 which I bought new and is still my regular ride....I say regular, I don’t put many miles on at the moment but hoping to do more.  The other bike is a Triumph 500 twin....the baby Bonneville.  That’s stored atm but again want to aim to get that running by next spring.

I have had bikes all my adult like after being influenced by my older brother who had a succession of old British bikes that spent more time being fixed than ridden.... :) Didn’t put me off and my first job was as an apprentice bike mechanic with a dealership in South London....Elite Motors....anyone remember them...??

Anyway enough of me rambling on.....

Welcome to the Forum I'm pretty new here myself - I've found it very helpful indeed.
Nurse Julie is also a useful source for some parts as well as information to help with a rebuild plus her partner I think he goes by the name Trigger.

Some great rebuild post in the Project Zone.
