OUT AND ABOUT 2019

Lovely bike James. What a shame about the barrels having to be changed out, maybe a porus casting if you couldn't detect the leak from elsewhere?

Yeah it was a real test of patience this one.

Heartbreaking to discover an issue like this on a freshly restored bike - especially given the fact you can’t perform any top end maintenance on the engine ‘in-frame’.

Still, it needed to be sorted and it was. And the feeling of a lovely smooth, well sorted, slick gear-changing cb750 is like nothing else in my book.

That would have been a right pisser on a build of that quality, glad all is good for you now. I have a little 350 that’s easier to work on if you fancy a straight swop.

   earlier in the year I mentioned the Welsh National Rally,starting and finishing in Welshpool,on May 4th (Star Wars Day !!!)

   got info this week,ready for route planning .this is called a scatter rally,no time set,or checked ,just for a day out,

 I am going for a Gold award for classic bikes,this means visiting 3 manned checks,and answering 10 general questions at each plus
visiting 10 landmarks and answering the question about the place .

 I am making it a lazy weekend,staying at a local B&B on friday and saturday nights ,

 

 my route will be from Welshpool,head N/W to Llangynog then along the B4401 to Llandrillo,to towards Ruthin and Llandegla,
then to the 1st ckeck at A&D Motorcycles at Denbigh,

heading south to Nantglyn and west to Llangernyw,and north to Colwyn Bay KTM .


next head sout to Nant Gwynant and passing through Bedgellert to Clynnog Fawr south to Criccieth this is an area I know well
as we spend hols near here ,but more details of pub food and ice cream makers for another day !!!

final check just east of Port Madog ,and head south to Brithdir and Dinas Mawddwy ,then a 30 mile run back to Welshpool,


 well thats the plan,

 hopefully the clues will not to be to tricky to find ,
and hope the weather will be good,

YUMMY
off next to Machynlleth and Dolgellau   and then through a few hills to Dinas Mawddwy.then home. Those hills remind  me of my fun time in Lincolnshire a couple of years ago.
Enjoy the pics.

Very nice Mr Webley. 👍 I love that part of Wales, many holidays spent there.

Looks stunning John and a great day out by the sounds of it. I'm slacking....I only managed 100 miles today and 30 miles yesterday, you put us youngsters to shame with the miles you clock up, good on you 

[philward]

Don't know were you get the time John - I managed 20 miles on CR to check running after taking the main jets down to 130 - after fitting in essential house maintenance, grand kids and Mrs Ward (who isn't into bikes. Maybe when I fully retire in 2 years!

Phil.that is the secret.when you retire make sure your time that used to be work is now enjoyment time.
And stuff like house maintenance is in the previously leisure time.
Remember. We have all worked hard to get to retirement. Don't waste it.Enjoy it !!!!
