Greetings...

Newbie to this forum, but not SOHCs or bikes. Thought I'd post some pix of my newest acquisition, a '79 CB650 (US).

Here is is on the trailer, just after hosing it off:

And I left out the best part: This was a freebie...

Thanks. Yeah, I did. Local Craig's List find, "Free to a good home." I qualify...

Made noise Thursday, needs a battery, oil change/filter, cleaner PJs, flushed brake line, tires, cam chain adjustment, drive chain adjustment, three new turn signals and a seat rip repaired. Otherwise...

Given my schedule, it won't be dialed in until around Memorial Day, but it will be good to go just about anywhere by then.

Nice find. That's in great shape too. Does it really have only 8600 miles on it? Wow.

8216. Old title showed 8000 and change on it when it changed hands in 2002. PO didn't ride it much, obviously, and just wanted to get rid of it. Methinks his wife had some say in the decision... :roll:

Thanks for the welcome!
