New guy

[tommydorsey]

I AM LETTING YOU ALL KNOW WHO I AM. I GOT MY FIRST C.B.X. ABOUT A YEAR AGO. I HAVE BEEN RIDING ALL MY LIFE. I LOVE MY C.B.X.. HERD A LOT ABOUT THEM, BUT NOW I GET TO OWN ONE. 1980 CANDY GLORY RED IN REAL GOOD SHAPE. ALL ORIGINAL, STOCK, ONE OWNER. THE PAINT IS LIKE NEW. I LOVE IT. I WAS HELPING THIS OLD MAN ONE DAY MOVE SOME STUFF IN HIS GARAGE. A NEIGHBOR OF MY MOM'S. ANY WAY, I SAW A FRONT WHEEL OF A MOTORCYCLE WAY BEHIND SOME BOXES. I SAID," WILLIAM WHAT IS THAT OVER THERE IN THE BACK OF THOSE BOXES? " THERE IT WAS, LOTS OF DUST, BUT STILL SWEET. 13.000 MILES. MY HEART WAS POUNDING OUT OF MY CHEST. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, HE SOLD IT TO ME FOR, GET THIS, $900. I HIT THE JACK POT. I BEEN LOVING LIFE EVER SINCE. IT NOW HAS 19000 MILES ON IT, AND IT RUNS SWEET. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS, THE CARBS, AND BRAKES, NEW BATTERY, AND NEW OIL AND FILTER, IT FIRED RITE UP.
I LIVE IN NAPLES FLORIDA AND AM A AUTO MECHANIC BY TRADE. I KNOW LOUIS, THE C.B.X. MAN IN NORTH FLORIDA, GOOD MAN TO KNOW. LOTS OF GOOD O-MILES PARTS. THANKS LOUIS. ANY WAY IT IS GOOD TO BE WITH YOU GUYS,AND HOPE TO TALK MORE SOON.

Tommy, welcome! We love the CBX here, you're among kindred spirits.

P.S. Shut off the caps lock please! It's hard to read...

Welcome!

Nice to know CBX's are still to be found. How many of us dream of such a find. Congratulations and enjoy riding it!

Steve

PS - Does the old man have any brothers?

Welcome Tommy - What a great find! Interesting story too

Post a picture or two if you can and also the serial number on your frame and engine - There are guys here who keep a running track of every known CBX and they will add your numbers to the list . . . . they can also likely tell you more about your bike once the know the numbers
