OUT AND ABOUT 2019

[Nurse Julie]

Out and about, just me and me little buzz box, Hettie the 400/4. It seems strange that it was 41 years ago next month I got my 1st 400/4, a used Parakeet Yellow F2. Out of all the CB SOHC/4's I own and ride....this one seems to make me ride like I did 41 years ago, like an absolute nutter but with so many smiles to the mile....i don't care and long may it last 😀😀😀😀

How many miles have you done on it now since the rebuild Julie.

Just over 2000 miles Chris. So that's in just over a year but she was off the road for 6 months over the winter and I have the other bikes to ride as well, so not too bad really. I tend to ride her more when I'm out and about on my own, I like to keep all the fun I have on her to myself

I filled up today and noticed I have done just over 1000mls now on the 350f  and must have done similar on the 400sf. Its so much easier with the new hip. The 750f will be coming out soon. Still cant quite cock my leg over it yet.

That is a real beauty Julie, really stands out

Cheers

Ah, yes, lovely bike Julie 👍. I bought my original F2 in 1980, big fun 😊. I've been out today on the cb250rs with the o/h on her Yam YBR 250. The RS is so much quicker everywhere, its a rollerskate!

Out and about on a pair of our CB750's tonight. Both UK K6's but....that is where the similarities end 😁😁😁 I just love riding both these bikes, I'm a lot more suited to a bigger engined, heavy bike and these old girls fit the bill a treat.

They look good don't they.

Unusual to have an 18 inch pirelli phantom on the black one,  do they still make them in that size new?

No Nigel, they don't still make them. It was a tyre Trig had in stock so it got used up on this bike.

I've always liked those, carried one of the first ones back from a motorcycle show for the K2 I had at the time, from Earls Court,  I think.

Lovely evening for a blat on the 400, ended up at Newhaven Harbour, smell of the damp grass as I rode along took me back to my early days on a bike, very evocative, fantastic! [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Out and about at Boston Bike Night. 1000's of bikes a usual, I took me little 400/4 and Trig went on the 750/4 mongrel. I only took 1 photo tonight, it seems Honda have gone full circle back to the mid 70's. This was on the Honda dealers stand, its a new CB650F......just look at the exhaust system, does it look familiar? Not quite as sexy as the 70's version but, not far off  😀😀😀

It does look familiar.

But. I personally don't like the styling of modern  bikes.

Unless they are retro styles.

Light alloy.chrome pipes. And proper long exhausts.
