Title: Hello
Post by: Charlie in NJ on April 13, 2007, 09:13:09 PM

Coming out of lurk mode....  I had posted a couple of times on the old r65.org site.   Just registered here - this new forum looks great, lots of activity, new names & bikes, etc.

Still riding vicariously, though.

Hmmm.... maybe I can get my bike back on the road?   I mean, I WILL get it on the road!   Been to a few tech days in the past, & to last year's Airhead SuperTech Weekend in PA.   So far, I've just started disassembling the carbs for a rebuild, bit by bit;  and bought tires & tubes.

I'll keep you posted.

Welcome, Charlie !

Don't be afraid to ask questions, we're generally a helpful, if sometimes slightly disorganized bunch here.
Check out the Frappr map link and post your location - you may see some other members not so far
away from you, too !

 :)

Go for it, Charlie!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

There are several knowledgeable guys and gals here who can give you help along the way if you should get stuck getting your bike roadworthy again.  I think a few of us have pretty much rebuilt our bikes from the ground up before (not me, mind you )!  ::)

We hope you will be able to have your bike running soon so you can enjoy the upcoming riding season! 8-)

Thanks to all for the support.  

And a funny thing happened today.  One of my my brothers, who hasn't ridden in about 22 years (and never legally) announced he was thinking of getting a bike & starting to ride again.   No Harley for him, like two of our other brothers have - he said something "mid-sized".  

Hmmmm.... I thought to myself, we'll have to start looking for another r65!

Best regards
