Re: New member
Welcome from Wisconsin! Nothing like jumping in with both feet, lol! At first glance, looks like both 'Wings have 'super-sized' windshields on 'em. You won't get that 'naked' feeling with those, lol! Check out the ShopTalk page for tons of info on new2you bikes, and get out the wrenches (if you're so inclined). Changing the timing belts is the best way to get to know your new bike, and the most important preventative maintenence you can do. Enjoy the ride!

Current Rides:
'Grumpy' - '81 Standard, now fully dressed.
'Layla' - '81 Standard w/dealer installed fairing and Hondaline bags.
'Scarlett' '76 'Survivor' nekkid as a j-bird!
Under Construction:
The 'Jalopy' '78-'79 Mash-up
'Quikie' '81 gl1100I back on the lift, project with the step-son!

Re: New member
Welcome from the UK. Looks like you've already made a good start. Ask away and someone will be along to help soon.
Previous Rides,
1980 CB250N Good to learn on
1981 CX500 good mid range tourer, went to Austria on it!
1983 GL1100C Pride and joy, sold when I bought my 1st house, big mistake
1985 GL650 Silverwing another mistake, horrible bike
1986 CBX550 Good commuter
1989 Suzuki GS750 (1976) cheap and cheerful until a dog ran out in front of me on Xmas Eve, 1991
Current bikes
2010 CB1300 back on a bike after 19 years, two divorces, children grown up etc
1980 GL1100 NOW ON THE ROAD, still use CB1300.
