Hello to everyone.
I created an account early last year.
But having had some ups and downs with my health etc. Have just managed to buy a Superdream.
So apologies for my lack of participation on the forum.
Like many my first bike was a (Black) CB250n Superdream in 1980.
I was 17 and passed my test on the bike, in Sevenoaks.
Even though my emergency stop came to a wobbly stop on a drain man hole cover !
I have now got a very (all) original black 1982 CB250n Superdream De Lux.
The only non original items are the two exhaust mufflers.
It has done a genuine 15,000 odd miles and sounds good (mechanically). Loads of old MOTs etc.
Riding out brings back many happy memories of the early 80's !
I am considering having it cosmetically restored, but my head says leave it alone ? Not sure ! Only original once !
The bright work, and notably the crankcases could do with refurbishment back to original.
I paid, as you might expect good money, £1850 for the bike from a very reputable bike shop/dealer.
But it came fully serviced, new MaxxisCST tyres, 12 months MOT and delivered half the length of the country for the price.
So all in all not too bad.
Well thats is where I am at !
Bring on Summer !!

very nice original looking bike 
I pasted my test back in 1981 and I to found myself explaining to the examiner why my emergency stop was so poor and I said what did he expect from my cable operated disc brake on my CB200 
oh well I've been looking forward to it so still going
