Will probably be in the car though as it’s too close to the mother-in-law’s and MrsD will insist on spending the weekend in Woodbridge.

That's us out then as Trig would only want us to go on a pair of CD250u's . Although they are SOHC but just not enough cylindersBut they are sohc Hondas.
So they qualify.
And if you both come. You have 4 cylinders

Looks like it will be fun.
Are there other events where lots of sohcs gather? I've only seen one other 500/4 in the last 25 years.
BTW, don't be rude about Ferguson Tractors, fine machines and the first tractor with three point hydraulic system ;D

Can I suggest we put something on our shirt/T shirt/blouse :D to identify ourselves ... how about a little bit of insulating tape or masking tape? Or any other suggestions? I missed a few people I wanted to meet last year.

Found a split in L/H fork gaiter
Damn annoying.
Replacements ordered. But doubt I will have time to fit before friday.
So ignore the split. And look at all the other bikes

Clean the split and superglue it John until you put the new ones on.Thanks. Found 4 splits. Each at edges.
Feels very fragile. But now stuck together.
This has only lasted about 30yrs.
Quite disappointing

Main course. Pud.and several drinks.
I sat with Neil Tuxworth.and several of the judges. It was enlightening to hear them chat about the bike industry. Racing etc.

Unfortunately I am unable to attend as planned.
I finally got the engine started on the 400/4 yesterday only for it to run really roughly and the carbs leaking. I stripped the carbs again today and cleaned them twice each (that's four times in total!) in the ultrasonic cleaner. I reassembled them and completed a bench sync. I put them back on the bike and it now runs really well (in the confines of my garage, it was pouring down outside!) and I've not even balanced them with the gauges so a real result 👍. This was at 7:30 this evening. I will have to MOT it in the morning but to be honest I don't fancy riding it to Leiston and back in a day considering it hasn't been started in 17 years, it needs a shorter shakedown run first.
Have a great time, Mr Silver may have some sohc bargains😊.

When I left I saw John sneaking off toward the coast so turned back and followed out to Aldeburgh for a walk along the front (on the basis that there's usually good pie and beer in the offing if John's heading that way ;D) anyway, very nice place on the coast for a walk in evening sunlight. Got called by my son while "road testing" a particularly good bag of chips, oh the guilt of being found out at the seaside when my initial application of family leave was issued on the basis of spending a day loitering in an industrial estate ;D
Well worth the day out with so many great bikes to see.

Great photoAnd good photo.
But doesn't show the humour.
Saturday night I walked into town. Purely by chance I met a couple from the bike show.and we went to Cinnamon Indian restaurant.
Very good service. Food and not expensive.
Got home about 3pm today. Not to affected by the weather. But got rained on twice. At Cambridge and Worcester.
492 miles door to door.
Any volunteers to clean the CB??(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190929/6a530da0602340f6ad52d901135ad0a4.jpg)

Well Ash looks nothing like I expected him too, with all his knowledge I expected a white lab coat and specs (and a slight crouch if I'm honest) ;D ;D ;D
Maybe next time if I can restore one of the 500s I'll be able to attend, work is progressing but it's slow as most of the parts need either chroming, BZP or powder coating. Only the parts being resprayed are coming on although I do have the first lot in the chromers as we speak.
