    New guy from Leamington

    Hello everyone,

    Just thought I would stop by to introduce myself, Im from leamington ontario (45 minuets south of windsor). Just picked up an 80 cb400t for a $1.00 with a stripped out head bolt. It was running last fall but leaking oil. the previous owner pulled the engine to fix it, accidentally running a helicoil in crooked got a new bike and lost interest in this project. This is the third bike I have owned, first was a 78 cb400t then an 80 cb750. I hope to have this bike on the road this spring and then this coming winter tear it down and cafe it.

    Cheers

    Eric

    Oh and here are a couple pictures of my $1 bike
