An absolute pleasure.

What a stunning day for a nice long ride. Sun shining and lovely and warm. The main roads in our part of Lincs was a ratio of about 10 bikes to 1 car and much fun was being had by all 😁😁😁

1st ride out this year on Hettie and what a cracking ride it was as well. Beautiful weather here in Lincs , no cars on the roads, only what seemed like millions of bikes. Hettie is running spot on. It was just perfect.
Nice photos Julie and a lovely day for a rideout - missed the opportunity today as the boys and came over for a visit and we went out for a walk - tomorrow looks to be a cold one!

Stopped off for a cuppa at a local bikers meeting place and saw this CB500/4 UK K1. Got nattering to the chap, who lives in Hull and he bought this new in 1972.Its had 4 different speedo's on it over the years so he doesn't know how many miles it's done and he's on his 3rd Genuine Honda exhaust system. It gets ridden very regularly, he maintains it very well mechanically but isn't in the slightest bit interested in doing it up.... he's in love with the patina and I don't blame him in the slightest. All round a good honest bike.

I couldn't bear it, very dark and weird indeed!
I was more into Roobarb & Custard, and the Magic Roundabout. Apparently Eric Thompson (Emma's dad) didn't bother at all with the original French scripts, and wrote the whole thing from scratch to match the pictures.
At the end of one episode, "A Peaceful Day", when Zebedee called his catchphrase of "Time for bed.", Florence asked "Already?", and Zebedee replied that "It's nearly time for the news, and you've had enough magic for one day." The news was broadcast just after The Magic Roundabout.

I drive through Chatsworth a few times a week and of late sheep and lambs stopping traffic. They have been drinking the water out of recesses in cats eyes in centre of road. So used to traffic and could not give a s--t

Used to race around it,
Almost circular.

The Z1A meets a modern tribute act, the guy was chuffed to see the real thing, offered me a straight swap on the spot, but at 2x the price that wasn't happening. Same paint job, but I did point out that his engine looks like it came out of a washing machine.

Those things are just lovely. Wish I hadn't sold either of mine.Yep, they sure are Roy and they're just as good to ride too as I'm sure you'd agree. I waited 40 years to buy a Z900 (with several bikes in-between); it was an early 60th birthday present from Bev in May 17 as I was planning to PX my gold K1 for one in May 77 but met her in Nov 76 and spent all my money trying to impress her, as we did back then... ::)

About 80 miles, twisty and undulating,
Surprisingly they have made Tintern a 20 limit.
Place is quiet and deserted,
It was 30,which was plenty low enough.

Love that Rickman in the picture. Looks really good with that single seat, standard exhaust and in that colour - remember a group of Welsh lads (south Wales I think)who stayed each year in the same guest house as me at the TT (mid 70's to early eighties) had Rickmans at one stage - mad as hatters on them - they where always first out on the road when the roads open car went past and barriers lifted (or was it the marshals bikes - can't remember what was used due to old age!) and try and catch/overtake it! Used to call them the 'mad Taffs'! (hope that doesn't constitute racist in these politically correct times!
Don't worry, were all mad. 🏴🤪

5 ohm is used with points on these bikes as the dwell, although at the same angle throughout rev range, alters in time with crank speed. And so and aggregated specification of 5 ohm allows them not to overheat at continuous low rpm through over saturation, but still making decent spark at high rpm.
Electronic doesn't ordinarily vary dwell, it just uses the crankshaft pulse as a starting trigger ( if designed properly) to then let the transistor circuit switch coil saturation at ideal and constant dwell, for any rpm. As such it shouldn't draw any more demand at low rpm as the logic internal to system cuts input without overrun, but still makes the same dwell time at full rpm.
The coils should match the advice given for the system in use. 5ohm coils on 3ohm designed dwell should give sub optimal performance at full rpm.

And thats where the connection ends, the build quality didn't get copied, pile of junk, i had a brand new Sei in 1976 and it leaked from stem to stern, didn't keep it long, put it in for a new Honda 750 K6.

DKW stands for Dampf Kraft Wagen. Dampf bring the German word for steam. Just thought I'd share that.
They were one time makers of steam fittings and made a steam driven car.
I drove a DKW car in the sixties - very fast two stroke engined.

The DK/DS Special is still fighting me; there’s always something.
First run out for the bike in 5 years and my first time back on a bike in 20 years.
All togged up, (new helmet) switched on the fuel and it just poured out all over the crankcase. Took it apart and the O ring was dried out and broken. Managed to nadger up the 14mm hex head too on the fuel cup whilst pulling it apart.
So it was onto Silvers website: £4 for new ‘O’ ring (what!) and £10 for a new fuel tap cup.
I WILL get on the road soon.
Any meet ups in Gloucestershire or Worcestershire, please lemme know.
Ride safe.

I used to sell the NSU RO80's in 1973 when I was in the car trade - they were very underated in my view. The later two plug engines were an improvement on the earlier four plug ones as I recall - not suited for stop start town work but brilliant for long commutes. I had a customer who used to drive from Birmingham to London or Blackpool several times a week in his - he racked up almost 60k miles in a year!

I went on Kitty the 500 K1 and Graham took Noddy, the 750 K6. (1st photo). I didn't take pics of all the classics but there was are really good turnout of them. There were at least 7 CBX 1000's and Kawazaki Z1's / 900 were in abundance as well. I've added a couple of aerial photos showing just how many bikes turned up and they were still streaming through the gates when the pics were taken.

Anybody want to have a guess at what this is? I do know, but I've never seen one anywhere elseThey used to have a small factory at Crickhowell,just outside Abergavenny in the early 80's.
Powered by the alloy 850 Reliant motors.
Also Known as Phasar, I seem to remember.

I've seen a few of those around. I think they were 125cc. The last one I saw was pretty wrecked and it was for sale. Benelli also sold something similar. They turn up on eBay occasionally.

The bike went well, very smooth and no issues. By the time I got back it had done 500 miles since going back on the road after the top end checkover, so its now having its first service. One of the valve clearances has opened up somehow, the other 7 are all in spec. I will order a shim from Z Power today. Also a couple of the head bolts needed re tightening. Plugs are clean, also all four piston crowns have the same colour carbon on them, unlike the first attempt.

Best in Show! Maybe next time I'll bring a bungee, so I can strap the trophy on the headlamp, like Marlon Brando in The Wild One. I stuffed it in my jacket, dropped it off at home and went for a ride.
Perhaps I shouldn't go to any more shows, and retire her with a 100% success rate.

Got out today though on my own for a few hours on Kitty the K1 and bloody luverly it was too. 110 miles of great riding and a couple of coffee stops. After 109¾ miles and whilst doing 85 mph, I thought, the back end of this bike doesn't feel good all of a sudden 🤔🤔🤔 Stopped and had a look and found a totally flat back tyre, it went from fully inflated to fully flat in less than a few seconds. Bugger.
Phoned my breakdown company (Trigger 😁) who came out with a foot pump but the tyre had left the rim and the tube was obviously punctured, so air wouldn't stay in.
Never mind, I rode the last ¼ mile home at 10mph.
I can only see what looks like the broken end of a thorn, no other tell tale signs of what caused the puncture
Still a great ride out though, life always feels better after a good ride.

Bloody farmers it’s hedge trimming season againIndeed it is Si. I will have a proper look at the tyre when it's off tomorrow but at the moment a thorn / wood splinter looks the most likely culprit.

Good to meet Johnny again and lots of other folk we've missed these past 18 months.
165 bikes Johnny and as we all know there's probably still 5 times that number tucked away in sheds.
For John Webley - if you folks do venture North (probably next year now?) I'm sure a whole bunch of us (and maybe some of the Caithness/Sutherland folk too) would like a meet up for part of your trip. Only thing to add is that you avoid early June as many of us go to the Shetland Classic - now there's another great place for riding!

Great ride out this afternoon. I took myself out on Kitty to Hunstanton, Norfolk, about 140 mile round trip the way I went. Lovely nattering to other bikers parked up there, all total strangers but if you've got something in common, conversation is always easy. Just got caught in a bit of rain when almost home but no puncture this weekVery nice, not been that way for ages,mind how you go past Sandringham,

I took myself out on Kitty to Hunstanton, Norfolk, about 140 mile round trip the way I went. Lovely nattering to other bikers parked up there, all total strangers but if you've got something in common, conversation is always easy. Just got caught in a bit of rain when almost home but no puncture this weekVery nice, not been that way for ages,mind how you go past Sandringham,

Had a great ride on the Honda to a very warm and dry Cadwell Park today. No Limits track day on, fast boys doing laps around 1min 50secs. Almost empty Caistor High street and NO artic tankers heading for Ming Ming for a change.We rode along Caister High Street today, yes it was very quite which all made for a lovely fast ride. If anyone thinks the Caistor High Street is in a village or a town, its not, its the main road across the Wolds and a fantastically fast road with lots of ups and downs and twisties.... Great fun 😊😊😊
Excellent ride out.
Regards all......

Market Rasen to East Ravendale is a good old wrestle with a bike on the B1203 but it ends up at the A18, best to turn around and go back down it again !
Enjoy while the roads are dry

There's some lovely places to stop and eat in Lincolnshire, especially mid/northern, but I don't recognise that place nurse Julie , looks pretty good - can you reveal where ?,It's the Blacksmiths Arms at Skendleby, not far from Spilsby.

Three cups of tea, two ciggies and a rather handsome egg butty later, which I might add, was a 'proper one' which managed to run down my hand and into my cuff just like an egg butty should.
My Dad always said "it's an egg butty unless its dripping off yer elbow..." and Rose (VFR) is back in the shed to catch her breath. Lovely days riding with good pals, good roads and some welcome late sun.
600+ bends and 600+ smiles...............Never gets dull does it?

It looks like it was a beautiful day for it John. Lunch looks pretty darn yummy as wellIf you both can find the time to visit Mid/North Wales there are some beautiful roads to enjoy,
A nice one, about 23 miles long is from Newtown to Llandrindod A483,
Great surface, bends from as low as 30mph up to as fast as you dare,
Did I mention the area has hills?
You will enjoy your visit,
