Hello from Devon
« on: January 26, 2014, 07:35:18 PM »
Hello all,

My name is Pete and I live in Devon. I've owned a fair number of bikes over the years including a couple of 400/4s, CB650Z and 750 K2, K6, F2 and a Rickman CB750. I've just acquired a 1978 CB750F2 in pretty original condition to sit alongside my 1997 Blackbird. I'm a member of the VJMC and will be on the road with the 750 once the rain stops persisting down - so that will be on a couple of days in August!

Ooh, that's not entirely true, last summer was one of the hottest driest spells in summer I can ever remember in Devon! Anyway, welcome, and where exactly are you in Devon?

Welcome Pete.

I sometimes ride to Exeter for work, I'll let you know one day if you want to see another sohc bike.  Hopefully will have mine running again soon.
