Gday from WA!
« on: April 21, 2017, 10:35:53 AM »
Gday all!

I live in Perth, Western Australia and have recently acquired a '72 CB500/4 which is currently in cafe racer style.   I've decided to take the challenge and revert it to stock.

Have been riding bikes since the mid 60s.....lots of brands, some better than others!  ;D

Cheers

A big welcome from me in Old South Wales.  Youve come to the right place for bike talk and banter.  Any pics are also welcome, just don't make us all jealous about the weather.

Thanks for the welcome Phil and Mike.  :)

Autumn weather is mild at present.  Around 28°C today but a bit cooler with possible showers/ t'storms tomorrow.  Still temps in mid 20s tho'   ;D ;D ;D

Thanks James, look forward to the banter mate!  ;D
BTW I'm sure K2s are great bikes, but mine's a K1!  :P :P

Ha ha, K1's are even better (especially the sound of HM300's on full-chat). Enjoy.

Ha ha that'll teach me to read the thread properly. Back in my box. Although, I bet HM300's would sound nice on a 500 ...
