Weren’t the bushes in the CB900FZ plastic?

Softer than brass.

Reminds me of when I worked in the US in the 80s. Rental cars had speedos that buzzed if you went over 55.

So I’d say it’s your speed limit warning Steve

It’s from a magazine article called “Relearning the course” from 1977.

I don’t have the mag, only the image of him leaping the 400 at Ballaugh Bridge

For those (non-anoraks) or newcomers who haven’t a clue what we are talking about, here’s a photo of an early 500/4 with the square cases.
This is a 4/71 bike.

For those (of us) who run webshops, customers who place items in their basket are effectively removing them from sale and reducing the stock levels.

Most sites will give you 10-20 minutes to checkout before clearing the basket.

You need a different way to bookmark items. If he doesn’t offer “save for later” (like Amazon etc), then just bookmark the link on your browser.

For “very early” I’d expect square crankcase ribs.

I can’t host videos Colin as it just gobbles up the storage.

You can embed YouTube videos though which is the preferred solution.

Yep.

That’s on backwards.

Doesn’t bode well does it?

My wife had a 2001 SLK230. Lovely car to look at and not bad to drive either as long as you ignore the snide “hairdresser’s car” remarks.

At 5 years old the rust was coming through on almost every body panel. A bit of internet research advised to not touch the 99-03 models with a barge pole due to the accountants dictating the build quality.

They eventually agreed to a full respray under warranty. It was never the same though. Sold it soon after.
