Title: OUT AND ABOUT 2019
Post by: Nurse Julie on February 15, 2019, 02:51:02 PM
Well, the sun was shining, so that was it.....out for a ride on the Honda CD250u. This bike hadn't been started for 5 months, it still had last summers stale old fuel in the tank, pumped up the tyres, checked oil and she fired up 1st touch of the button and ran a dream. Almost 70 miles today, a bit nippy but beautiful in the sun up on the Wolds.

My new CB750 tank came back from Menno on Friday, so I dug the bike out of storage in my mate's lockup, fitted the tank and battery, and went for a ride to Compo's Cafe in Holmfirth for fish and chips. A Harley Owners Group chapter from Doncaster was there already, it must be nice if the Harleys are out I thought. When I bought my Sportster new back in 2005 I got a year's free membership of HOG, however after going to one meeting where everyone was wearing leathers but mine was the only bike outside, I never went again. :(

Today was another first, a quick illicit ride on the CL450 on a local dirt road, first time under its own power in decades. No number plate as it hasn't come yet. i won't tell if you don't.  ;)

The blue goes well with the mud that is about to cover it! 🙄. It does look very tasty.
Temperature is going to reach 17deg by Friday. Spring is chasing winter away (hopefully 👍).

I've taken the RSA on a ride to RAF High Wycombe to see the farewell flypast of three Tornado's, very loud🔊👍.
Over 300 running—in miles clocked up during the past week and all is fine, hasn't used a drop of oil and the very slight weep from the rocker shaft appears to have 'self healed' 😊.

I think you have been very unlucky previously with yhat 250 as when they were a current bike i dont ever remember doing anything to them except service and one insurance claim where some scrote undid the headlamp and cut through every wire going into the shell so he could have it away------nearly wrote it off that did!

Well, what a great sunny weekend that was - not the CB750K1 yet, but managed to get the Z900 out for a ride on Saturday to Loomies (East Meon) and Sunday was my 58 Triumph TR3A's first outing this year up to Newlands Corner, (Guildford) and it's still only February!  8)

Nice TR there,  thought I recognised the location.  Parked in that spot a few times too.

I think the Triumph range of cars has a higher percentage of interesting/collectable models than almost any other normal manufacturer.  With TR,  Spitfire,  GT6, Vitesse, Stag, Dolomite Sprint etc. All very interesting.

Thanks, I'm very attached to my TR3A and have owned it for about 18 years. 

Newlands Corner is top spot for classic and modern bikes and cars, although the bugger's now charge for parking......

Spot on about the range of cars offered by Triumph which are now considered classic! I would say they were built to last, but most have been rebuilt at least once - my 'affair' with TRs started in 1983 when I bought my first TR6 from a Council compound for £900.

The sun was out today (rare in Manchestershire) so I took the CL450 out to Mossley, to buy excellent home made steak pie and chips from Alan & Viv's chippy, not because I needed to, but because I could :) The bike sang as it whizzed along and I had a big smile, it suddenly makes all those hours and £s I spent resurrecting another abandoned bike well worth it.

Parked up outside Mossley station:

Like Dave above on his stunning bike, on this stunning day, we went out for a few hours on the bikes in search of food. Tea, Coffee, 1 x Sausage sarnie, 1 x bacon & egg sarnie all for £6. Bloody lovely food and a bloody lovely ride out.

Went on a Friday breakfast ride out, about 90 miles, with the South Wales Classic Motorcycle Club.  There was another 400four there and a GS850, along with a W reg RS100 and assorted new stuff, none of which could keep up.

November 1969 was obviously a good month for Honda James, they built both our bikes that month, though I don’t know if in the same factory. Maybe someone here can tell us.

Notice the wall behind the CL450, the Victorians didn’t mess around with namby pamby cheap brick walls. I learned from a Fred Dibnah programme that the dimples in the middle of the huge stone blocks were for a kind of scissor clamp that they used to grip them when they were lifted into place. Now you know look out for them in any 19th Century architecture.

Fine really, even though they are a bit bigger than they should be. There is a 4.00x18 on the back and a 3.50x18 on the front. I have had no problems with them up to press, so will stick with them for now. Just that I am loath to change new tyres. Biggest problem was the front tyre catching the front mudguard but I adjusted that.   :)
I am running them hard though.

Out in the same territory as Moorey was on Sunday, also back via Woodhead - I got another 50 miles on the CL450, up to 150 now. Outside Compo's Chippy (again!) in Holmfirth, met some classic Jap tiddlers. Interesting bikes, but a quiet bunch....

(https://i.postimg.cc/G3GcdXPP/IMG-3632.jpg)

Today I stopped at a cash machine, only for a minute, so I wasn't too bothered about parking on a double yellow line. When I'd finished, I turned round and to my horror, there was the traffic warden walking around behind the bike to see the reg number. 'Don't see many of these around' he says, we then had a chat about the bike, and at no time were yellow lines mentioned! I wonder If I'd have got a bollocking or a ticket if I'd been on something less interesting.

Yeah it was a real test of patience this one.

Heartbreaking to discover an issue like this on a freshly restored bike - especially given the fact you can’t perform any top end maintenance on the engine ‘in-frame’.

Still, it needed to be sorted and it was. And the feeling of a lovely smooth, well sorted, slick gear-changing cb750 is like nothing else in my book.

 my route will be from Welshpool,head N/W to Llangynog then along the B4401 to Llandrillo,to towards Ruthin and Llandegla,
then to the 1st ckeck at A&D Motorcycles at Denbigh,

heading south to Nantglyn and west to Llangernyw,and north to Colwyn Bay KTM .


next head sout to Nant Gwynant and passing through Bedgellert to Clynnog Fawr south to Criccieth this is an area I know well
as we spend hols near here ,but more details of pub food and ice cream makers for another day !!!

final check just east of Port Madog ,and head south to Brithdir and Dinas Mawddwy ,then a 30 mile run back to Welshpool,


 well thats the plan,

 hopefully the clues will not to be to tricky to find ,
and hope the weather will be good,

Phil.that is the secret.when you retire make sure your time that used to be work is now enjoyment time.
And stuff like house maintenance is in the previously leisure time.
Remember. We have all worked hard to get to retirement. Don't waste it.Enjoy it !!!!

Being more specific, Candy Antares Red is without doubt the fastest, as it looks like it's big brother the 750F1, which is the best colour Honda ever put on a bike!

Sunday run looking down on the Tame Valley, from above Diggle, I like the match between the blue sky in the mirrors and the paint.

I was trying to just use the old back roads, that were once the main roads before the new fangled turnpikes came along. At one stage it was single track and lots of gravel, the sort of road I wouldn't be at all happy on the CB750, but made for the CL450 :)

Nice example of a K3 there Harold.

The CL looks good out in the wild Dave, that is a good match in mirrors for the tank isn't it. A nice little detail.

There's a whole genre of photography around that,  like this example below

Out at one of the local Bike Nights in aid of local charities. Excellent turnout due to it being a beautiful evening. Met some friends there, forum member Spav and his wife Tracey, with their beautiful CB750/4 combination, that always causes huge interest. A few general photos and including my Antares Red CB400/4, there was one of every color CB400/4 there  ;D I haven't got a clue who the chap us in the 3rd photo.....he gate crashed my picture.

Interesting comment about the choke lever on the CB500/4, I could not ride mine in boots that are anything more than ankle length, or the choke was pushed on during gear changes. I sorted matters out by fitting a CB750/4 gear lever (same height though different angle and distance from the crank case) and am now able to ride in touring boots if I want to!

Although it's difficult, I'll have to check whether this is the boot or the denims. I ride with my toes on the footpeg and move to the insole for each gearchange. It must happen when I move my foot up and back after changing gear...

I can't see how a different gear lever will change this?

Strange. I have never had this. I always ride with my foot in step on the rest.i can change gear without moving it from there.
The only time I put the ball of my foot on the rest is if there is a chance of scraping it going around a corner.

The CB750/4 gear lever is a quite different shape and sits further out than the original. It's fixed it for me, although perhaps it wouldn't work for you? The only way to know is to try one.

I tried it because I have a CB750 parked next to the 500 in the bike garage and it seemed worth a look. When it all worked out, I ordered one from CMS for the 500. That was around three years ago and it's been on there ever since, the original sitting in my spares box in case it is wanted in future.

I noticed at the time that I ordered that CMS only offered the one type of gear lever for both bikes (the 750 style) although that was presumably due to availability, rather than anything else.

@ moorey and adespin thanks for the heads up   I will be there again this year any excuse for a ride out and visit BABS the same time

Pendine is a great place to visit, my wife's best mate lives near there and we last went this spring. You can (sometimes) ride on the beach if you wash the salt off afterwards. However you won't see Babs I'm afraid, they were demolishing the museum - Wikipedia tells me they are going to build a new one, but not why and when.

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Babs_in_Museum_of_Speed%2C_Pendine_%285747%29.jpg/220px-Babs_in_Museum_of_Speed%2C_Pendine_%285747%29.jpg)

In all the times I've been there I only saw Babs there once, as the museum was closed in the winter, and Babs often went off to shows and events in the summer. Ironically, the one time I did see it at Pendine, I saw it again two weeks later at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, going up the hill! The 27 litre aero engine was run on fast tickover up the course, it sounded like the apocalypse.

At Squires this aft. I was talking to the 650 Enfield rider and he had already had the rh side panel fall off when riding and knew of another 3 that had done the same. He had another seat made as the original was awful other than that he said he liked it. He had sold 2 Bullets to buy it so obviously liked Enfield's  Personally I preferred the 1924 flat tank Enfield.

You are a brave man Mr Webley. Lincolnshire is about to be washed off of the map. It has been raining for 3 days/ nights now and at the moment, it is raining so hard, I cant even see to the end of the garden 😪😪😪

The local bike club organised a rideout to commemorate Malcolm Uphill's TT win 50 years ago.  We started at the Wetherspoon pub (the Malcolm Uphill) and did a 120 mile blatt through some real claggy weather with a few stop offs.  Despite the rain it was good to get out, riding with mates.

It's a Laser system, not mega, mega loud but the tone is fantastic. It just makes you want to ride faster though, just to hear it at its best 😀😀😀 The Yoshimura I have fitted to my CB550/4 Mongrel has the same effect on me 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Had a lovely ride out today to the North Yorkshire Moors and Whitby. Found a stunning place called Levisham, in Rydale. Talk about up hill down dale, there was plenty of that and the scenery was stunning. Sheep all over the road and saw a steam train chuffing along. Took a slight wrong turn between Levisham village and Levisham Station, it looked like a small lane, then it turned into a farm track but we kept going until we were off roading. Good thing we were on the CD250's......You find the best places on a Honda 😁. Just over 250 miles today. Thanks to Ash and Cathy for the cuppa on the way up there.

Out and about at the Beach this afternoon. Anderby Creek. Went on the bikes and had no trouble parking (on the grass) unlike all the cars that were driving round in circles trying to find non existent parking spaces in the very small parking area. Unfortunately, loads of cars parked up the little road leading to the Creek and they all got parking tickets !!!. This place is in the middle of nowhere, very small and only one road in and out but, the Parking Ticket man found it and earned his wage today.

I only took 1 photo tonight, it seems Honda have gone full circle back to the mid 70's.

But. I personally don't like the styling of modern  bikes.

Unless they are retro styles.

Light alloy.chrome pipes. And proper long exhausts.

Agree John, modern bikes all look the same to me, just different colours and stickers. And, new bikes are soooooooo small, even a 1000 cc bike looks like its the sort of size that it should fold in two and fit in the boot of the car. 🤔

I looked at one of these bikes in my local Honda dealer a few months ago (no intention of buying one, just looking). The price for a set of replacement header pipes was £2,500, this excludes the silencer!  The headlamp was over £400! These prices make our old bikes look cheap to restore!

Sadly I won’t be at Chrich with the CL450 tomorrow, as the wife’s father is threatening to shuffle his mortal coil , so I’m driving her over to be with him.

Lovely evening for a blat on the 400, ended up at Newhaven Harbour, smell of the damp grass as I rode along took me back to my early days on a bike, very evocative, fantastic! (Attachment Link)

love that picture, its a kind of 'this is what its all about' moment

brilliant, very evocative..... ;)

That's because it's different muscle groups working with the two different processes due to the position of  the whole body.

You know more than most Chris, it's your hip 😀😀😀 Next time you get on and off the bike, analyse your whole body posture, it's totally different for both processes. Most important thing is that you are comfy and pain free when riding. Even I'm beginning to have slight issues getting on and off of bikes, not as easy as it used to be.

No bikes in the pic as we didn't want to ride them across the sand....well, we did want to but probably a law against it 🙄🙄🙄 Hottest day of the year, peak holiday season, Lincolnshire style. Most beaches are virtually empty (Mablethorpe, Skeggy and Cleethorpes are the places to go if you can't live without all the usual seaside trappings and those places I'm sure would have been heaving). But, we like the quiet life and I have done a lot of swimming in the sea this week......bloody lovely.

I'd inherited it from my uncle so unsure of its original supply.  Campgnolo gearsets and lovely large flange aluminium hubs with alloy rims,  unfortunately sold when I got a moped. 

Saw one in those colours recently for sale and nearly bought it,  very good looking bike.

Nice to see an Ariel Leader being used, i had one in the 80's that was originally owned by the chief factory road tester at Ariel, underpowered but wonderfull road holding. Such a shame that they didn't develop it any further, although they did apparently have a prototype four cylinder version on the cards, but didn't get past the prototype stage.

My first Airfix kit when I was a kid was the Golden Arrow!
The 4 cylinder Leader is another British 'what if'. The British motorcycle industry was littered with them and includes the Trident 4, the 500 Wolf, Fury/Bandit, all the BSA\Triumph modular bikes, the BSA Speedway engine etc. Such a shame short sighted management killed the industry with stupid ideas such as the BSA Dandy, Beagle & the Ariel 3 wheeler! 
A really good book to read is 'Whatever happened to the British motorcycle industry' by Bert Hopwood, a real eye opener and first hand account to what really happened as a result of under investment.

Well finally got to test out the new knee, every time I have planned to go out it has chucked it down, today was dry but cloudy and cool so off I went, and the knee worked fine, I had to lift my foot up a bit to operate the back brake but I can cope with that. I didn't wear my leather jeans so it was a bit cool on the old legs so I only got about 20 miles in.
As a bonus the mirrors that Julie recommended in another thread worked great, I could actually see what was going on behind me, all in all a good day.

Well done Dennis, you have done really well and I'm pleased the mirrors are good for you. I have to lift my feet to both change gear and use the back brake....its a problem when you only have size 4½ feet......they just aren't long enough to reach anything 😀😀😀😀

You're right OJ, the paint on the fins did look a bit chipped, I noticed when I was looking at the bike, they had been touched up in places as well.. However the bike has been owned by the same person for something approaching 40 years and has never been fully restored, just a bit of paint here and a bit of chrome there over the years, but its a rider not a 15k show pony and really stood out in the sunshine... a very nice almost original example and a credit to the owner.

Although I ride a bike most days, these past few days with it being so hot has not been much fun. Temperature a lot lower today and just perfect for racing round the Wolds. Also, being cooler, Trig actually put jeans on today instead if his usual T shirt, shorts and crocks. It annoys him utmostly that other bikers don't nod at him when he's riding half clad but they do when he's wearing jeans. Sods law, we didn't see another bike on the road today, so no one saw him fully dressed for the first time in weeks 😀😀😀

That looks lovely Paul - I'm looking forward to completing my K1, and getting my driving licence back in July/August.

What tyres are fitted? - thinking about Battlax BT45 (as fitted to my Z900), anyone got a view on which are best suited to the K1?

Nope...Trig has those cheap ones on all his 750's and they don't squeak. I have those expensive sintered ones back in my 400 and she is still squealing at slow speed, even though that front brake system has been fully overhauled and refurbed at least 10 times now...including having the disc slimmed. It was perfect for about 100 miles and then she started again. Good thing i don't use the brakes much 😲😲😲 Your bike looks great.

Tyres are always going to divide people. I hate Bridgestone on bikes and cars I'v just never felt confident with them. I have Conti's on my 550 and 750 rain or shine they have always been great. They also look right modern rubber just looks odd on an old bike.

Out and about in the Troodos Mountains in Cyprus. Up to about 3400 ft....only another 3000 odd Ft to go and will be at the top of Mt Olympus. The mountain passes are fantastic, twistes all the way but you have to keep avoiding the rock falls and the dried up pine needles which are so slippery. Max speed about 15-20 mph to be on the safe side. 2 up on a Kymco 125, fantastic little bike for these roads. I'm riding pillion and just watching the scenery....which is stunning.

Made it up to the top of Mt Olympus yesterday, 6400 ft. Took 2½ hours to ride up and the same to ride down. The little Kymco 125 did the job fine, just. As usual with biking, it was the journey and not the destination that it was all about. Stunning scenery and a real adventure. Beautiful weather until we left the top of the mountain and then the temperature dropped by about 15° and it started rain, really, really hard. We couldn't ride for quite a while as rock falls happening everywhere and the road was like a very fast flowing river. Tried to shelter under some trees but still ended up saturated and as we were only in shorts and t shirts, it got bloody cold. Never mind...the rain eventually eased and by the time we got down to about 3000ft, the sun came out, the temperature shot back up and we were fully dried out by the time we got back to the apartment. A real adventure and just great fun.

Yes.

I must admit to not visiting since I donated the engine "to a good home"

I had hoped that they would have displayed the history of the engine (who built it and why it was thrown out by the Honda dealer during a refurb)

Never mind - at least it's not stashed away in someone's barn any more...

Title: Re: OUT AND ABOUT 2019
Post by: Moorey on November 04, 2019, 11:00:41 AM
Yes, when there is a risk of snow or ice on the roads. It is a mix of salt and grit they spread on the roads. Often in my opinion when there is no need for it, especially at the start of winter when councils have huge stockpiles of the stuff and as we know salt does vehicles no favours.
Title: Re: OUT AND ABOUT 2019
Post by: Erny on November 04, 2019, 01:17:50 PM
Wau. Quite surprise for me, I expect snow and ice first here (mountain areas of central Europe) and only in rare cases in UK (due to strong influcence of ocean).

In Slovakia definitely, all works in reactive mode only, no preventive gritting. Only in mountain areas, short before snowfall sometimes they start...

And yes, salt is very bad for cars/bikes...

Went on what was probably the last rideout of the year. There was 10 of us from the local club, riding on anything between a Honda 125 cc Grom and some big Kawasaki, the newest was a 69 plate, oldest was a 1942 ex WD BSA.
We clocked up 110 miles with a stop off for a big breakfast and coffee  (as you do).
Luckily the weather was ok so I rode the 400four instead of the VT.

Good for you.

I am hoping to get out Monday.

It should be dryer then.

I HATE having to wash the bikes after

Mike - wau!, 110 miles, great! I won't do here, if I ignore salty wet roads, there is still strong wind, temp around +2 degree Celsius and somr time to time snowing a bit. Too much for me.

Not quite 110 miles - done about 110 miles less the 100! Went out on CR to move the petrol through the carbs - try to get out on one of the bikes every week but the roads are so dirty at the moment

You have done 10 miles more than me then Phil 😭😭😭 What with all the rain and the farmers getting the crops out of the fields 24/7, the roads are covered with about 6" of mud at all times.... not really safe in a car, let alone on a bike. Farmers need to do their work though so, no complaints from me.

It was the Mynedd Ddu tea rooms in Cwmdu.  A few miles north of Crickhowell.

It is quite pleasant today. Almost completely dry. So being a glutton. I took all 3 of the bikes out.

About 10-12 miles covered on each.

Very invigorating.

Hopefully a longer run tomorrow

A nice day here also, I ran the CB750 for about 35 miles and the BMW around the same distance. The sun was out!

Managed to do a few miles on the 400/4 today nice and bright but cold. Roads still damp in the shade (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191230/5d77075baff8512f61ee3e4c84b03a98.jpg)
