A CB550 restoration - well worth a look!
Going anywhere in a car is a journey, going anywhere on a bike is an adventure!

Well that ended up looking stunning. Very interesting and a bit jealous 

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience!

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.
