Hello to all. I just joined the "twins" forum, and have been a member of a sort-of-parallel forum for the CX500 family for several years, under the same userID. I've spotted a couple familiar names from that forum here. Back in April, I decided to sell my much-loved 1979 CX500 Custom (shown in my avatar) for a number of reasons, none of which had to do with any deficiencies on the part of the bike, but primarily because I'm starting to disintegrate with age. Since I gave it up, I've had some second thoughts about abandoning the sport entirely and am now on the lookout for a smaller, lighter, simpler bike for chugging around town or taking little country jaunts when the weather's OK. The first bike that caught my attention when I was in graduate school in Ann Arbor in 1968 was the CB/CL175, and that's pretty much my target now. There might be one in my sights, depending on what I hear from a friend, so this post may be academic, but if it works out, I'll be back for words of wisdom on maintenance, parts sources, etc.
I'd be interested in hooking up with other members from the SE or central Virginia and NE North Carolina area.
