Honda-SOHC

I saw refernce to this yesterday:

http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/news/introducing-airfix-kitstarter/

Where Airfix propose to reproduce old kits if there are enough pre-orders (500).

I've always fancied the old CB450 model kit; and the Golden Arrow from the early 80's. Airfix also produced a CR750 which might be of interest? I'm not sure that the initial optinos - Bluetits and Bullfinches are my cup of tea though.

Has anyone sourced these for a reasonable price. My old GSXR is getting some attention but needs 2 per caliper and the Wem*t* price is £3.49 each!  Little bit pricey for me.

As it says in the title! Saturday Sept 6th - so this weekend between 11am and 4pm.

Last year was sunny and warm. The main street in Buntingford - an old coaching town - was closed and filled up with classic cars and bikes. There was a Bluesy-type live music venue at one end, something modern in the middle of the street and live rock'n'roll at the other end....each music venue conveniently located outside a pub!  Also BBQ's cooking on the street.

I assume it will be the same this year and just as good, so it's certainly recommended. Sadly. I'll be watching my wife compete in a triathalon instead of ogling classic metal.

Someones piccies of last year are here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neS9e7mQe7Q

I lived there near there in the Nineties and used to really enjoy riding the LC between Macclesfield and Buxton when it was quiet. Always plenty of tricky bits though and it needed treating with respect.  I drove that route a few years ago and was surprised at the level or signs / cameras / enforcement that had descended on it.

..but seeing a clip like this makes me realise that some people shouldn't be allowed out. Just glad he walked away from it, and he's pretty lucky too.

Any thoughts on what I should use for gearbox oil for an old Triumph - T100 500cc from 1960. The Haynes manual says SAE 90 gear oil, but I've not been able to locate that in the local car/Halfords in Hertford..

Does anyone here use anything widely available for this type of application?

-  I'm on holiday next week so looking forward to getting down to some fettling!

I'm sure it will still be out there... be interesting to see if anyone on the forum owns it or sees it around. Last seen in the early Nineties, heading to W.Yorkshire wearing blue/black flame paint-job.

Think there may be a bike show in Baldock tomorrow:

Does anyone else listen to the videos on UTube whilst they post.....and does it give away your age?!

I've just listened to  'Fiction Factory - Feels Like Heaven; and now enjoying Enola Gay. Cool!
