Hello from Peter in Hertfordshire
« on: May 22, 2016, 06:56:32 PM »
Hello people, I've joined your forum as I've always wanted a 400 four and aim to get one in the near future.

Like many others, I've returned to motorcycling after many years absent. I owned some little 2 strokes in my callow youth and had some little pocket rocket 400cc race reps before leaving that all behind some years ago.

I was lucky enough to be gifted a 2 stroke 1982 Yamaha RD200 some 16 years ago which sat dormant until last year which I've recently finished restoring.

Before

After

I also own and have restored a 1928 Ford Model A Tudor sedan.

Anyway I'm itching for another bike project and decided now is the time to source a 400F.

Looking forward to owning a Honda soon and know here will be a valuable source of knowledge to tap into.

Peter

Hi Peter, and welcome. There are many fans of the 400/4 on here, they have certainly become something of a cult bike in the last 10 years or so. Obviously you're no stranger to restoration work, love the old Ford, something really wonderful about well restored old cars! Anyway, I'm sure any questions you may have can be answered here, so look for a bike and get stuck in!
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!
