OK, so here’s the star of our show. It’s such a good looking bike on its own, I have to pause and think sometimes if I shouldn’t just bring it back to original. But no, that’s not the future I see for this thing. I really don’t want to spend months searching the internet and swap meets looking for parts needed that are correct for the year and what not. Ok, so going to swap meets wouldn’t be so bad. But they would more fun looking for trick parts right?

Well...here we go again. I did this blog thing once before back in 2010, 13. I had an NS400R back then and thought it would be fun to chronicle the journey I would take while restoring it back to running condition. And you know what? It was. I eventually would get the NS “running”, and there is a link to that blog here on these pages if you’d care to check that story out. The NS blog never came to fruition though. It just died, leaving my throngs of NS enthusiasts and seekers of literary prose that would rival the likes of Wilde or Kipling or...Grisham? With narry another word of the mighty NS and our endeavor to carve the backroads of Alabama to a two stroke symphony. So I’m back. The NS is gone. I didn’t have the money or infrastructure to continue with the restoration, and the truth is, I wanted to ride. I found it a good home, trading it for a 2006 BMW F650GS Dakar, which I still have today. I moved away from Birmingham too; to the sunshine state. Florida.            I miss you BHam.

This blog is primarily to document the soon to start chop and rebuild of a 1975 Honda CB550 that is currently acting as mini, metal, Cabrini Green to a bunch of spiders in my garage. If I follow suit with the NS blog, my next entry should be in a couple of years. My name is Edward, thanks for stopping by.
