New CBX owner and member here

Post by stevenmelching »

Steve here from by Fort Wayne Indiana. Just bought my first CBX a silver 1979. Any other members here from north east Indiana? I hear from a local Honda dealer that there is a large collector in Fort Wayne with a bunch of CBX's? Anyone know if he is a member here or his name by chance?
Thanks
Steve

The only "collector" with a couple of CBXes in Ft Wayne I know of is Larry Conlin. He had a n accident at home several years ago and passed away.
I put "collector" in quotation marks, because I don't think he was one.

The guy you're likely looking for is Don Shmitt. I think he lives on the south-east side of town. He has quite a few CBXs, likely close to 20.

Either garage is too small or we have too many bikes. Or Momma's car needs to go outside.

Thanks Rick. Any idea how to find him? Doesn’t appear to be on Facebook.

I'll text him and see if he's okay with my giving out his #. Or, pm me your cell# and I'll ask him to call you.

Well, that was quick. He already got back to me and said to give you his phone # It's 765,62o,237six. He's not a morning person...... :o
