Title: 750K2 getting ready for registration
Post by: petermigreen on July 21, 2018, 07:17:53 PM: Took my new baby out to get MOT'd in preparation for getting a registration this morning.

Naturally took the long route to the MOT bay ;D.

Can't get over how nice it is to ride and looking forward to getting registered and riding.

Post by: Nurse Julie on July 21, 2018, 08:43:26 PM: Hopefully my UK CB750 K2 will get to the top of the restoration list in our house this winter......hopefully. It didn't need restoring, it ran beautifully and looked fine to me but I have noticed parts being pinched off it recently for other projects we have going on !!!. So, a full resto is on the cards I think. Maybe our bikes could meet each other at Crich next year 😀😀😀

I knew the handbook was under the seat but hadn't looked at it until tonight and flicking through found this:

Quite reassuring to know it's had regular maintenance :)
Only trouble is it's now got 13k miles on the clock :o

Post by: philward on July 23, 2018, 09:48:11 PM: I still have 30000 miles worth of hand written service/parts history for my ZIB I got rid of in 78. Its still registered and contacted Z1 owners club to see if I could trace the present owner - but no joy

Cool. Good to have it as part of a bike's history.
Of course I photocopy any US titles but not the same.

Post by: petermigreen on August 06, 2018, 01:09:42 PM: Received today!

14 days.
All I need to do now is get my original paper driving licence back from the DVLA, DOH! :o

Post by: Nurse Julie on August 06, 2018, 01:12:27 PM: That great Peter. DVLA are being quite quick at the moment, as long as you send everything they need first time round !!!!. Happy riding.

Post by: Simon46 on August 06, 2018, 05:52:57 PM: My licence and title came back a week later after my v5. Is everyone's bike manufactured on new years day?

Post by: Green1 on August 06, 2018, 06:18:52 PM: I had to look twice at that registration as its so close to mine. :o
Strange when mine is supposed to be a 71

Title: Re: 750K2 getting ready for registration
Post by: petermigreen on August 06, 2018, 08:22:54 PM: Mine says 1/1/72 cos that’s what I put on the application. Don’t know why (panicked). I presumed dvla would correct. Should’ve put 1/7/72 as vin plate says 7/72. Oh well not bothered now I’m registered and riding!

Post by: Green1 on August 06, 2018, 08:43:30 PM: I know how off V5's can be. I once sold a bike to my sister that confused them somewhat.
We lived at the same address, have the same initials and a very similar signature. The logbook came back as Ms Michael ???

Post by: petermigreen on August 06, 2018, 09:44:32 PM: I reckon that's just your alta ego when you go out in your dress Mick ;D ;D ;D

Anyway we went out tonight and I nearly lost Ethan off the back when I accelerated a bit hard off a set of traffic lights, he was only saved by the massive K2 rear light :o ;D :-[.

Think he might hold on a bit tighter next time. I think he had a little heart attack ;D

Thing is I felt really guilty but thought better not let him know. He needs to learn to hold on at all times.
Whoops :-[

Post by: Green1 on August 06, 2018, 09:54:57 PM: Nothing wrong with wearing a dress its great in this weather
Maybe a sissy bar and bungee cords are a good idea.
Dam went for a pee and Julie beat me to it.
