70s Jap bike day at the Ace Cafe. A disappointing turn out, not sure if the weather had a bearing on that. Plenty of Hondas to see though.
My 500 (in the middle) with friends 550F and 750F.



I loved this little CL350, really sweet looking machine.

First time I'd seen a Honda Britain. Striking bike.

Not sure about this, is it a CR or a PRR?

Another nice 750F

Thanks John, glad to say my 500 ran lovely and I'm very happy with it (don't tell my 400/4 though)

Be careful. I am sure bikes get jealous if not used.
And take it out on the rider by getting lots of niggling faults because you neglected HER!!

I think you're right! I'll have to buy her something nice to keep her sweet.

I was there with a friend (me on my CB750 K2 and him on a CB1100 EX). We held out until just before 12:00 p.m. and then left to call into a local show on the way home. I counted only ten 1970's bikes at the busiest time whilst there (from 08:00 - 12:00).

All a far cry from a few years ago when there was not a parking space to be found after 09:30 and you could hardly see the bikes past the number of people dressed in period clothing!

I think that we have both decided to drop this event from our calendars for the future, it certainly doesn't justify a 220 mile round trip of which 30 or so are in the thick of London traffic.

[petermigreen]

So true. I think you can see from the images how few bikes were there. Only 40 miles away from me so not such a sacrifice but was very disappointed with the turn out, especially when it was such a big event a few years ago as you point out. Sorry to miss you, you must have been leaving as we arrived.

Peter, yes it would have been good to meet and I assume that we probably almost passed each other at the gate!

Another time perhaps!

[Johnwebley]

Not many sohc about. Saw a blue 400-4.no time to photograph it.so had to continue exploring.
At Lugano at present. Just had a lovely snack lunch with my niece
