Welcome Randall! Glad you joined our forum. We always look forward to pictures here. And a CB360 is a great first starter bike. And we do have a lot of dirt bike riders but not to sure that any of us have turned a street into a bonifide dirt bike. But their are several of us on here who have a CB360 in some sort of state. Look forward to your post.

Will post some pic, of bike,s shortly. Made my first stop at the steer inn today, and take,s me back to the 70's, my teen years. As I live in Connersville it will be a nice hour plus ride too bike night. Thanks Chester

Welcome to the forum warthog. (wink) I'm pretty sure you and I know each other... (my dad bought a certain 46 Dodge pickup truck from your dad, who will be greatly missed.) I hope you get the chance to make it to some of the local rides and shows. The Rockers Reunion is May 19th. I plan on having my rigid Bonnie there. Tell the wife hello.

I think this thread has done a nice job of displaying the very reasons I am extremely excited that I caught a few glimpses of things that turned me onto vintage bikes. The people are pretty much amazing. Everyone seems to have a general and sincere interest in helping each other out. Its a long cry from the boards I knew years ago in the infancy of my decent into the automotive/motorcycle world. When your dealing with more 'modern' hardware people just seem to be more concerned with who has the bigges/fastest (insert whatever) and making fun of those who ask 'dumb' questions.
My name is Alex and I got my first tast of motorcyles when I lived in Bloomington for school. It was hard not to have one with arguably the best riding roads in IN just minutes from my apartment. The ZX7 wasn't hard to sell despite being a good bike because I just never had a real connection with it. Now I have a CB750 that is dramatically slower, handles worse, grips less, has miserable brakes in comparison, but makes me smile a whole lot more everytime I ride it. Looking forward to trying to make some of the groups events, this sounds like a great community.

The thing about the vintage community that you will not find many places is we just love to see more old bike on the road and meet like minded individuals! We're always willing to lend a hand or advice to make that happen.

Welcome to the forum and hopefully you can make it out sometime to let the beautiful sound of the four cylinder be heard by all im glad we could help everyone. This would not have been possible if it wasn't for Owen Nevis who created it and Felkman who has organized it so well.

My name is Eric and I live in Greenwood.
Have 2 1977 CB550's and a 450 - none of which I've cleaned up and ride as of yet. Will get that done this summer...hopefully.
Also have a Ducati Sport 1000, Duacti 996, Honda ST1100 and BMW R1150GS cluttering up the garage.
Just stumbled upon the site and am looking forward to looking at all of the posts to get some ideas on how to restore my bikes.

Must be tough having those cluttering up the garage! |
