A Canadian, Eh!
« on: June 27, 2025, 10:12:36 PM »
Good day, everyone, I've been lurking for a while here and for quite a while on the US site.  Thought I'd better introduce myself.  75 years old, retired, and have been riding several bikes over the years, mostly modern sport tourers.  A couple of years ago, I purged my collection down to one sport tourer and at this stage of my "career" I thought I'd tackle a restoration project.  I always wanted a CB350F (or similar vintage Honda) for many years, and finally was able to pick up an affordable one.  I'm well on the way with it, with the help of forum members, and always soaking up information.

My avatar is a pic of the bike the day I brought it home.  It looks better there than it actually is, it needed cleanup and all the red bits need new paint.  I"m trying to keep it as original as possible, or at least the original look as possible.

In any event, happy to be here.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of help and advice here to get the CB350 up and running.
I guess you'll be using DSS for parts and paying the import charges!

Thank you all for the welcome, I appreciate that.

At some point I'll start a separate thread for my restoration project so you can see what progress I've made.
