Hello! I just joined this group as I'm a 'rookie' vintage Honda motorcycle owner. I inherited a family motorcycle - Honda CL175 '72 - for which I'm attempting to get running again. I'm hopeful that I can glean information from this group as I'm looking to learn and preserve this great bike...

Purchased this non-running bike over a month ago. I wasn’t a “good new member” and posted about the bike in another post about a carb needle issue. Figured there’s no time like the present to redeem myself, so sharing a bit about me and the bike here. Grew up riding and a little racing in...

I am a car guy who realized that working on bikes is far, far (oh so godly far) cheaper than supping up my G37. I have also always wanted a cafe motorcycle. I picked a CB200T up for around $600 and the guy I bought it from says it's 70% running. I haven't started on it yet since its 2 degrees...

Hello everyone! I've done things a bit out of order. I made a discussion post before doing an intro. So I'm going to back pedal and do that now. So I am a motorcycle enthusiasts, though my knowledge is probably lacking simply due to my little experience. But I am trying to learn as much as I...

Hello everyone! My name is Luca, and I’m from smack dab in the middle of California (in between Fresno and Bakersfield). I’m a recent follower of the forum finally turned member. A few months back I bought a 1971 CL175 that’s in the middle of a brat style conversion. Currently she has a CB200...

Hello all, I have been on the forum reading everyones posts and it has been extremely helpful in working through this project. I bought a 1974 CB360 for 400$ that had not ran in many years. Thanks largely to this forum it is running and mostly wired and soon to be registered and back on the...

Hey folks, just picked up a 79 Twinstar that my buddy's dad bought new. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions. Right now I'm thinking about bratting it out a bit, first to get it running again:) Already enjoying the wealth of knowledge on here! Mike

Hi all! Glad to have joined the forum. I took a break from bikes for a while because of a move from Philly to NYC. I didn't know if I'd have space for tools or the bike itself when I moved, and now that I have the space, I'm super stoked to have bought another CM! I've got a 1979 cm185T that...

I am based in Derby UK. Recent purchase of a 1968 250 that has been unused for 30 years, so I will be kept busy for a while. Any tips and advice is most welcome, such as the correct model designation. The purchase receipt from a dealer for the secondhand bike in 1975 lists it as a K4, the V5...

My name is Cody. I am a new member who is saving up for a first true motorcycle. I have many a mini bike of different styles and I have the itch for more power now so I’m planning on stepping up after the current project. Hoping to find good advice and learn more about these creatures.

Hey all, I recently bought my first bike -- a 1982 Honda CM450C -- and have been lurking in the shadows on the forums for restoration inspiration, troubleshooting, and general knowledge. I figured I'd finally join in on the fun. I love to learn and there's no better way than by getting my...

Hi! My name is Ian, I live in Seattle. I've been riding since I was 16, and I had a Suzuki GS500 for about 10 years. I sold it when I moved to China for 2 years, and since I've been back in the US (about 5 years), I have been bike-less 😭. Well now I've finally filled the motorcycle-shaped...

Hello everybody, I'm Zander I'm a pretty young bike owner and rather new to all this. I lack a lot of experience, however, I do have workable mechanical skills from working in a machine shop and on various other things. I have been lucky enough to become the owner of a 1973 honda cb350G (at...

Hello everyone, made the mistake of jumping the gun and posting before I introduced myself; my bad. I'm in Chicago, IL. I just got a pretty sweet '73 CB175 K7. I've rebuilt a '75 Passport with my dad way back when, so I'm pretty new to servicing and repairing CBs. Have read a bunch of...

I've recently picked up a '75 CL360 barn find that was cleaned up (but not necessarily restored). Bought by a buddy and shipped east, though his lack of time and shifts of priorities turned out to be a score for me. Live in Brooklyn, but have a garage/ family home about an hour north of the...

Hello everyone, I am from California and I have just started my first project resurrecting a dirtbike that belonged to my grandpa. The engine in the bike is a CB175 and the other components including the frame and exhaust are a custom mashup. My grandpa and his dad (****** Tompkins) and uncle...

Hello, fellow HondaTwins members, After my 3rd son was born my amazing wife asked me to sell my Honda VFR. She was an X-ray tech and saw too many victims of bike mishaps. I complied. That was 21 years ago and this weekend I reentered the world of motorcycling with her support. I brought home a...

Hello, Im Mark and I live in a very small town in Maine. I have had several motorcycles but recently picked up a 1978 CM185T. This bike was in pieces but turns over fine but unfortunately it was missing a few things so Im working to make a slightly modified scrambler/brat as the frame was...

Hello HT fans. My name is Steve Carlson aka Snout. I am from Ashville NY, the far western corner near the Pa border. I am joining this week following a trip to visit my brother as I stopped in Lancaster Pa and brought home 2 CB350's. I also have a 79 CM185T in the garage...and lots of other...

Howdy folks, Sorry to the admins and other members for the delay of my introduction but I got a little eager and greasy right after receiving sound advice. The bike that I'm currently working on and ask the most about is the '93 Honda XR250, she a beauty and was running great when I got it...
