Another new member from the UK
Having read Crispy duck's introduction I thought I'd better also say hello from the UK, not only from the UK but from the same town!
Anyway, I owned a '79' about 20 years ago and always regretted selling it, so bought myself a 'Z' project that was imported from South Africa to restore, then a few weeks back I spotted a 'hoard' on Ebay so promptly bought that as well so I am now the proud owner of three CBX's and a truck load of parts! (and a full garage).
The Silver bike is a 1 owner UK bike that has only 7000mls on it but has been dismantled since around 1992 I reckon.
The red bike is a CBX1000A that was imported from the US and was also dismantled a few years ago
The last bike is the South African 'Z' that is is one piece but needs restoring.
There is also a spare motor, carbs, a new tank, a new 'A' tail piece and loads more!
A photo of the van after loading The red bike will be the first to get some attention now I've just about finished my current restoration

Not sure how I managed to put that picture on but it's not my bike, but this one is!
