Took the little Honda out for a run today, odd little thing....quite different to what i`m used too. Front brake is excitingly inadequate, the rear brake doesn`t much  The Beamish Trial will be an interesting 120miles

Any suggestions where to insure my classic AND modern on the same policy, the company i`m with won`t insure the CB175  Are club discounts, VJMC/Honda OC, worth paying the joining fee to obtain insurance discount? All the best of the season btw Mike.

If I was still testing the number plate would fail as its nearly horizontal so not easy to read
Where does it state the number plate angle please? Out of interest, and devoid of any personal thoughts, preference or opinions, on what grounds could you have failed it?

Ready for it`s mot....    Don`t want a showroom example as i`m going to ride it, hopefully, 23000miles from new, 2 owners and stands me at £150 plus LOADS of hours. Mudguards are made from what was left of the originals. "Living the dream chief, living the dream..."

You can use a Sparkrite TT electronic ignition on the CB175, it retains the points, but using a much lower voltage across them, resulting in much longer life for the points and less frequent adjustment. Found just what you need on e-bay, item number 151154496435 he's got 2 of them, apparently new and unused, probably worth a punt if you want to go down that route
Cheers.... Got both of them for £10.50 Fitted one today and there is a vast improvement. Should I do away with the condensor all together?
