Title: An Australian Idiot in Scotland (or: yet another 400/4)
Post by: Winterfield on March 26, 2019, 09:36:27 PM: Hi all,

I'm Kenneth. I'm an Aussie who decided to move to Scotland for some reason, and ended up in Edinburgh.

I picked up a CB400/4 a while back and have been slowly tearing it down for restoration. It came with a spare engine (which I expect was the original as it matches the paperwork), the original wheels & forks, and a bunch of odds and ends.

Looking forward to restoring it close(ish) to it's former glory. I have a million and one questions, some of which have probably already been answered on these forums but I haven't managed to find the right threads yet.

My pre-teardown bike here:

Julie, I've been through every page of your 400/4 engine rebuild thread. Your bike is thing of beauty, and an inspiration.

Looks like you're well on the way with the bike already.

We just had someone on here emigrate to Australia, so one in one out keeps the numbers tidy ;D

Funny that both countries have folks very much opposed to immigration. One in one out is probably fairly common. People seem to believe people only emigrate in.
