Agree, Kentish fruit farms or Lincolnshire vegetable fields are far more appealing when you reach a certain age  ;D ;D ;D

I think it was called something else when I used to drink there. It was a bit up market for me, my locals were The Castle, or Streets as it was previously, The Sussex and the Beau Nash amongst many others. Anyway, I wont be of any use to you as far as answering questions on your bike but the experts on here will be.

Hehe, yes, I'm sure I saw him plug the hole just in case you lost something down it  ;D ;D I wouldn't know where to start with a master cylinder rebuild Rich, luckily I have never had to do more than top them up with oil, luck I suppose.

Is that the one Trig stripped down for you 2 years ago Rich?. If it is, it's taken you long enough to realise the hole is blocked  ;D ;D Mind you, at least you haven't lost it which is a major result!!! Xxx

At least they keep in touch with you Andy, you must be a special customer ??? Of DVLA. They didn't send me a letter explaining the age rule on a bike I registered in my name only 2 weeks ago, just the log book. This is one of the bikes I'm querying with them at present.

I was catching up on some admin the other week and thought I would just check that all the bikes we have here off the road are still SORN'd. Now, a majority of them were but I have 3 that I SORN'd last year, I have the printouts showing the SORN reference numbers from DVLA and I know it is now continuous , ie, the SORN will remain until either the bike is taxed of a change of owner is registered but they are showing as non SORN'd. So I SORN'd them again the other day, I was given a SORN reference number again but having just checked their status again, they still show as not SORN !!!!. I have been in touch with DVLA and this was their response

Thank you for your enquiry received on 25/2/2017.
 Your case reference number is 00031380.

 It might be helpful if I explain that on the 31 January 1998 the law changed. Keepers are now required to notify DVLA if their vehicles are to be kept off the public road untaxed.

The scheme only applies to vehicles where the vehicle tax has expired on or after 31 January 1998. As your vehicle U*M***S was untaxed on this date, it does not fall into the Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) scheme. It will only become liable to SORN if it is re-taxed and then subsequently taken off the road.


I have contacted DVLA again asking why on all their documentation it says a vehicle must be taxed or SORN and nowhere does it state the above. I have also asked them what is the point of going through the process and being issued with a SORN reference number, for no reason at all. I will let you know what comes back from them.

Now, I may be the only person on the forum, or indeed the UK that does not know about the above but I doubt it very much.

welcome to the fun world of old sohc Hondas,

 the fact that most are over 40 years old and still running is because of the expertise on places like this,

 relax and join in,and post lots of pics
Is that the bikes your talking about John, or the owners? ;D ;D
Welcome to the forum, I think that is such a pretty looking bike, I half fancy one myself

« on: February 26, 2017, 01:50:09 PM »
My 550 and 750 have the drain holes in the same place as Johns
Not that they seem to do much I still have water poor out if I remove and upend them.

  by the magic of phone cameras ,here are the underside of my 4 pipes,sorry they are dirty!
but I think they are about 25 years old !

BTW,do the new replicas 323 pipes have drain holes ?
Not sure about the 323's John, you would have to come and get a set off the shelf and unpack them to find out but the replica 341's have drain holes

If I took the exhaust off my 400/4 I have no doubt I would find the same problem. When I start the bike from cold I get copious amounts of more black than brown water come out of the silencer. I did mention it on here last year and others also experience this problem.........piddling pipes I think we called it  ;D ;D ;D

That's why Trig wears black ones, he's so tight that if he saw they were dirty he would want to change them too often !!!!
