Misc / Open / YouTuba in a boat. In Switzerland. Playing William Tell.

« on: October 29, 2010, 08:43:51 AM »

Some of you may have heard me going on about my son Chris and his tuba quartet.

They have just returned from a tour of Switzerland and took this video for a bit of fun.

Shame about the cheap camera/video/sound quality but hey...

YouTuba in Switzerland...in a boat?!

No, we love Jotas!

It's what every self-respecting 500/4 owner in the 70's lusted after (that's me then...)

The two posters that adorned our student rooms back then were the MV Agusta 750S America (him) and the orange Jota (me)

Then there were those Life helmet posters with the bodypaint...

... and the Athena tennis girl of course.

CB750 / Re: Wobbly front end

« on: October 20, 2010, 06:01:24 PM »

Spin the front wheel and take a close look at it.

I stored my 500/4 in a hot garage all summer on the sidestand. The front tyre is now warped and makes the bars wobble.

Axl was a great friend of all SOHCers but sadly was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2009.

Some of the tributes are here

CB500/550 / Re: Failing Headlight Dip on a CB550f

The headlamp bulb is a dual beam so it is quite possible that the high beam filament is blown. Easy to test.

The fuse thing is a bit more worrying. Put standard values back in and see what happens.

This is one of the sweetest CB400 Cafes I've seen over the years. This was taken at the Ace Cafe in July 2006 - the owner is/was a member here (Andy something?) and had ridden it down from Harrogate for the event.
