Title: Newbie from the North West
Post by: Oilburner on March 09, 2016, 10:55:43 AM

Hi, New to this forum, came across the U.S. version initially when trawling the net. Returning to bikes after a 40 year hiatus, family, houses, usual story. No bikes atm but looking around for a CB 500 K1/K2 that needs work. Loads of great info on this site. Cheers

Welcome oil burner.
500/4 my favourite bike I have owned.

Welcome Oilburner - My first big bike was a 500 Four in 72 - done 40,000 miles on it trouble free in 3 years and loved it - only got shut to buy a Z1. Great info and guys (and gals) on the site.
I'm just down the road in Wigan

Welcome from me too... must admit the CB500K0 has been the most pleasurable to restore of all of my bikes ( well so far anyway).

cheers ... Ash
