Other Bikes / Rode the little Honda CB175 today....
« on: January 11, 2014, 04:43:47 PM »
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  :o

The Beamish Trial will be an interesting 120miles  :-\

When you have removed the M6 screw from the center, and you are struggling to (as the manual states, pull out the cap....where the M6 screw is removed from there is an M8 thread allowing you to GENTLY screw in an M8 bolt which will act as a puller and release the cap,

Misc / Open / Insuring your classic AND modern on the same policy?
« on: December 20, 2013, 10:15:20 PM »
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.

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.

New Member Introductions / New to the site....from Co Durham.
« on: October 19, 2013, 07:59:03 PM »
Hello,
        saw a mention of the site in Octobers Classic bike, and thought i`d pop in.

Good to see a few North Easterners on the site. This is my latest project...CB175



Saved it from being thrown in the skip, by a colleague...



It had some money chucked at it in 1990, and then just sat..



Running now...



And ready for it`s test.

I also have a Z750s and a DRZ400

Mike
