It changes from page to page Julie ;D
Im not so sure about that Graham  :-\ :-\
Anyways, Wales looks beautiful, may have to send the old 400/4 up by TNT overnight to meet me there though  ;D ;D

Why? you not trust your workwomanship / workmanship.

I never doubt my capabilities or workwomanship Trig (I like that word), it's just a bloody long way from me on a piddling little 400

The 400 is a good bike for distance. I have done Greece on a piaggio typhoon and a CD250, they never came back. Also done India and Kenya on a dominator and that is not much bigger than a CB400 four.

I did go everywhere Mick. Now on my 5th CD250 and still have the 1988 one in Greece. This what i have never understood. People go back and forth to work, clocking up 12,000 miles in a year but panic to take a car or motorcycle 2,000 miles to somewhere like greece.

Embarrassingly I have hardly used my bikes the last year or two work messes things up far to often,
So I'm going to try and make up for it next year.

Love the idea of a round trip and join /drop off where you like. I live near and work in, the Derbyshire Peak District. Some good roads, though some spoilt by speed cameras now (cat and fiddle). Think the forum communication would gain greatly  from a personal meet and putting a few faces to all us anoraks here!!

Then for the real die-hards. How about a hop over the channel to see Bitsa via our place in Normandie. Good food, wine and clear fast roads ..........

One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Ok,the bike would make it but I find that I seize up after about 150 miles !!!. Rode from Perth, Western Australia to Sydney about 20 years ago on a Harley, I doubt if I could make Perth, Scotland to Edinburgh without needing to stop 3 times to stretch the legs these days;D ;D ;D

You do have a good memory Hairy  :o :o. But yes, you have a point, backside goes numb on the 400 after a while. Mind you, it's luxurious against when I go on the back of friends R1. The pillion seat is so small and thin it's like sitting on a bloody Jaffa Cake  ;D ;D
