    Hi all, just a quick how you all doing, from a newbie. I am 56 and just about to get a bike license, got the L's a few months back. So I picked up an aged 97 CB250 nighthawk, which has a few things that need attention. It has been a few years since I have played with bikes, rode and fixed dirt bikes in my teens to early 20's. Anyway good to be in the group, I am sure I will have a few questions.

    Welcome aboard. I started much like you. Didn't get my Ls until 58. Started on my little CBR250RR. Great fun. Now I have 5 bikes in various different stages of completion. I suppose I have the bikeowner virus.
