Title: Hello
Post by: ianjones2003 on August 28, 2008, 11:38:54 AM

Hello All

Just bought a '75 400f.  It's for my wife to ride (honest!).  She passed her test 4 years ago and has been riding a Triumph T21 but misses indicators and electric start from the CG125 she learned on.  I used to have a CB360 which I enjoyed and have always admired Hondas in general.  I ride older British bikes but will no doubt ride the 400.  I'm thinking of using it to go to work on.  The bike looks in good condition.  I've got in on the bench at the moment, changing oil, filters, plugs, points, freeing front brake etc - just a general service as its been off the road since 2002.  Will also need new tyres/tubes.  Will no doubt be in touch with questions in due course!

Regards

Ian

Hi Mick

Nice ride.  We often go over Whinlatter to Keswick then back to the West coast over either Honister or Newlands.  Newlands is a very picturesque (read slow, steep and twisty) route provided you have a head for heights, particularly when travelling in the Keswick to Buttermere diection.

Regards
