Welcome to the site.

I loved all of my Honda fours...until they bit me. I still have the scars from my offs on my various Hondas.

It was because of the ease of maintenance on the 550 which made me modify my 750 frame.

Plenty of enthusiasm on this site,as well as the Yank site.
Bikes...they're in the blood.

Hi davyy, could have been me, had a good few run outs over on the Wirral last year, usually ride out with a couple of mates on gsx 1400's, my 750 is darkish red with gold badges and tank stripes, are you hoping to have your bike ready for the new year ?

hi ianmck
could very well have been you buddy,it was a solo rider and the tank was a dark red/browny colour with stripes.
intresting that you ride with a couple of gsx14 owners,are they members of the gsx1400.org.club.
as for the 550/ it's a big ask to have her up an runnin soon ,but defo want her motoring in the spring all bein good

Just snuggled my 750 up in the garage, but when (if) the weather warms up (the knees hurt when they get too cold) I 'll be on for a ride out.

Cheers

Had a ride out to-day, Rhug farm (near Betws y coed, Llangollen, Ponderosa and back through Helsby Frodsham. Cold but dry and clear, saw a few bikes out but not many, enjoyed.
Take care, regards ianmck.

Good to hear I'm not the only bike out and about at this time, I do tend to just ride the 20 miles of the A470 to work though. Might come along in the new year sometime if I get one of the sohc 4's going well enough, north Wales is a bit far for my 125's on top of commuting milage and the stroker seems doomed to holing pistons and eating gearboxes regardless of what I try. I miss having the 500 in regular use- Anyone else here got a 500/4 up to 1060 000 miles?
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

well done ianmck,sounds like you had a goodun.
i do enjoy the bacon/egg batches from rhugg but i've noticed the lamb burgers also do well [maybe next time].
normally head for bala after there,it's a good runout with great roads.

Must admit was doing some work on the father in laws garden today and the sun was really warm, was tempted to get the bike out, but was a bit too busy.
Have to get a daily ride bike and get some electrically heated long johns !
