I won't have a word said against a 400/4 Bryan 😁😁😁😁. If owning one and riding it flat out regularly reminds me of being 18 again, that's good enough for me.

Me and Julie have met and she definately has more chance of getting the 400 to fly as i am, shall we say significantly, bigger!! If anybody remembers the Honda Melody it was a good day/bike if i could get one up to 25mph

Love the T shirt.

Also love 5 cylinders. I had an Audi GT. (Imasculated UR Quattro) gutless but what a  sound....
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Has nobody noticed that 6th gear is missing?
Where's that 10mm socket got to?
