Default Hello from Toronto

Hey guys, I've been floating around for about three weeks but just joined today and I must say that the level of character on this thread is second to none...

I just recently bought three honda's (my first street bikes... been riding dirt my whole life) CB900, CX500 and my gem a CBR 600f Hurricane... I am currently in the process of a total rebuild and will start a thread to show you guys the work I'm doing...

I look forward to meeting all of you, being a presence on this great forum and representing us Toronto boys..

Cheers to all of you

Welcome to the CBR Forum HJ,

I love a good rebuild - keeps me energised to get out there and work on my bikes! And the early CBR600s were a delightful bike as well!

I look forward to the pictures.

Cheers, SB

I love all of those bikes. I helped a buddy get his old cx500 running last year, they're great bikes. Post pics up of all of them, I'm anxious to see!

Thanks for the big welcome... I have been working on the CBR 600f I am going for a very clean look... I grabbed all three bike for under a grand as a family friend was trying to keep his wife happy as he already had 10 bikes on top of these three...

I have the 600 stripped down to a rolling chassis and the engine completely torn down with the block and the valves out to be tested to see if they need work or to be replaced..

I have a ton of parts coming from Honda Canada as my old man works for them and I get all the parts at cost so hence I love me some Honda not to mention I use to work for them as well...

I'll be going into more detail about what work I have done exactly and what I plan on doing with all the photos in my build thread. Look forward to hearing all of your advice and help..

Heres a couple of links to photos of my bike
