    Hi all,

    New to the forum today. My name is Brian and I live in northern Illinois. I ride or rather rode a 1989 Honda CB-1. I still have it, but its current condition is in pieces all over my garage for a 100% rebuild from the gorund up. Hope to get it up and running for the 2010 track season. I'll have a project web site up soon for any interested in following along.

    I'm a snob for 400's . Nothing better, especially Honda 400's. My two favorite are the CBR400RR (NC29) & VFR400R (NC30).

    I look forward to a the conversation and hope to tap into the knowledge of this group as well for special project questions or mods. I'm a nut for rebuilding things.

    Brian

    Welcome. I look forward to seeing your CB-1 build.
    Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either.
