Another Newbie

[nyweb2001]

Hi all. I'm Pete from Albion, NY, 50 miles East of Niagara Falls. Haven't owned a bike since I was in my 20's. Now I'm 64 and I just bought a bike to get back into it. A 1980 Honda CM400E. Needs some work but I like doing the work. Having not ridden in years the first thing I need to do is get my balance back ! It felt like I was never on a bike when I went to pick it up !! Fun !!

Welcome, Pete! Good luck w/ the Honda. You'll find lots of knowledge and information here.

I'm also 64 and grew up south of you down near Olean. We've probably got lots of common memories from growing up in that area; Sandy Beech on WKBW radio, Commander Tom on TV. Cheers!

I've been to Olean over the years. Mostly flying over you. Another expensive hobby !

Congrats on getting back into it and glad you found us!

Thanks Tim !

BTW - out of curiousity, how did you find us? Always interesting to hear how we show up around the world. After 13 years I have no idea how people stumble in our doors

I'm on Honda Twins. They're always mentioning this place so I thought I'd check it out. Awesome place !
