OUT AND ABOUT 2019
« on: February 15, 2019, 02:51:02 PM »
Well, the sun was shining, so that was it.....out for a ride on the Honda CD250u. This bike hadn't been started for 5 months, it still had last summers stale old fuel in the tank, pumped up the tyres, checked oil and she fired up 1st touch of the button and ran a dream. Almost 70 miles today, a bit nippy but beautiful in the sun up on the Wolds.

Your bike looks lovely John. It's all the fresh air she gets, it keeps her looking healthy  ;D

My new CB750 tank came back from Menno on Friday, so I dug the bike out of storage in my mate's lockup, fitted the tank and battery, and went for a ride to Compo's Cafe in Holmfirth for fish and chips. A Harley Owners Group chapter from Doncaster was there already, it must be nice if the Harleys are out I thought. When I bought my Sportster new back in 2005 I got a year's free membership of HOG, however after going to one meeting where everyone was wearing leathers but mine was the only bike outside, I never went again. :(



Today was another first, a quick illicit ride on the CL450 on a local dirt road, first time under its own power in decades. No number plate as it hasn't come yet. i won't tell if you don't.  ;)

The blue goes well with the mud that is about to cover it! 🙄. It does look very tasty.
Temperature is going to reach 17deg by Friday. Spring is chasing winter away (hopefully 👍).

I've taken the RSA on a ride to RAF High Wycombe to see the farewell flypast of three Tornado's, very loud🔊👍.
Over 300 running—in miles clocked up during the past week and all is fine, hasn't used a drop of oil and the very slight weep from the rocker shaft appears to have 'self healed' 😊.

I think you have been very unlucky previously with yhat 250 as when they were a current bike i dont ever remember doing anything to them except service and one insurance claim where some scrote undid the headlamp and cut through every wire going into the shell so he could have it away------nearly wrote it off that did!
