Hello
« on: January 28, 2023, 01:48:03 PM »
Hello from Seamus in Ireland.
I got my 1979 CB550f in the UK about nineteen years ago in anticipation of the eventual mid-life crisis. I paid £302 for it, winning bid on eBay. Spent many times that since on TLC and it’s definitely my favourite bike. I’ve been on the US site for a while and only became aware of this one today.  I also have a few other small Hondas from that time as well. Lovely machines all.

Glad to be here - It’s great to link up with like minded folks. Thanks for making me feel welcome.  Hopefully I’ll contribute something useful at some point. For now I’ll figure how to post a few pics of my pride and joy.
Need to pare down the file size to get them to attach so maybe mightn’t happen tonight.

Oh yes I know…. £302 is what the bike cost in 2004. I paid more than that for the downpipes….  Not to mention most of a complete bike that i’ve bought in bits and pieces over the years, wheels, forks, bearings … it goes on. But what beautiful machines. I think they are the best looking bike that Honda ever made.  Julie you sold me the oil pressure switch back in 2020
