Hi Everybody
« on: October 02, 2020, 08:30:05 AM »
I was bored today,. this Covid thing has given me a bit of spare time, so I set about google-ing myself and I ended up here.

Wow, this has changed a lot, I remember when I first set the original site up way back before the millennium and then I got distracted and SteveD took it over, I'm impressed.

I don't have an SOHC anymore but still massively into bike, but just thought I'd pop by and see how you all are.

Hope everyone is doing well.
Regards and Ride Safe!!

Hi John.

You have a lot to catch up on! Maybe the weather over the weekend will help

This is almost the perfect bike forum. We talk about bikes 99.5% of the time. Not all SOHC and not even all Hondas.

I have had to ban only one member since we switched to this format in 2007 and maybe moderated two or three posts. Usually a PM to the poster fixes things.

Read Julie’s 400/4 engine thread and then go out and get yourself one!

I'm not sure how 3 and a 1/2 can be classed as too many, I guess I'm just lucky ;) But when the go wrong it a drain on the finances and the soul. I was given a R1150RT half way through lockdown by a mate who just didn't want the hassle anymore, ABS failure among other things it's the 2nd Abs-Ecotomy I've performed in the last couple of years.

Welcome Jonny to what is now the mad world of the SOHC  ;)
Nice to have more people on here from Lincolnshire, where there seems to be more bikes than cars on the roads at certain times of the year  :o
