Nice Pics,
             Shame my bike isn't ready yet, just got back (yesterday) from a hol in Ibiza, but bought a new crash hat today and giving the bike it's last check over before the MOT, so hopefully I'll soon be mobile.

Cheers

Went to Southport with Biffta this evening and got moved on by the law.

Bikes aren't allowed at the cafe on the prom any more due to "Health & Safety" issues following complaints from the non biking public.

The end of an era. I've been going there since I was 16 on my Yammy FS1-E.

Southport, RIP.

Hi Dave,
           Got it booked in today (Friday) at a local bike shop (Warpspeed), it's the closest to me, just had to nip out and buy some leggings as it's raining, first time out on it and it rains, still haven't got any boots though, all the other gear and trainers ! Got the insurance sorted yesterday (Carol Nash), should get the tax next week, and we are away.
For Aintree the boss is a bit worried in case there are no other wimmin there, so she may follow me in the car with the grandsons for a day out. Think it's a bit of an excuse really as she hasn't been on the back of a bike for years, and is a bit nervous as I haven't ridden a bike since 1998.

Cheers

Hi guys, I notice the black 750 - 4 has the high american style handlebars, Who's bike is it? The reason I ask is that I'm currently restoring a 1976 F1, and would prefer the higher bars, but nowhwere seems to stock them. I asked at dave silvers but no joy, any ideas? I have seen some Kawasaki Z1 bars at Z power but I would have to drill and cut them to take the wiring, anyone know of some decent honda pre drilled ones? By the the way , I'm in St Helens, not a million miles away from Southport, bit of a pi**er about them stopping the bikes at the cafe.  :-\

I always thought genuine Honda bars had the wires running inside the tube. I have no Idea about a place you can buy high bars it

Hi Fatal, the 750/4 with the high bars is mine ;)  & the bars are infact Z1 bars the wires run on the outside of the bars , you will also need a longer clutch cable 53" from end to end & a longer top brake hose  :), hope this helps,  cheers  mick.

Hi Fatal,
            F1 bars are extinct, tried to get a new pair for mine as the chrome is a bit dodgy but even CMSNL did not have them, will have to do what I used to do, buy some bars drill them and thread the wires through, or send the old ones off for rechroming.

Cheers
