CB500/550 / Re: CB550/4K engine strip, Bore scratch
« on: February 21, 2024, 12:38:41 AM »
My shaving brush is made with badger hair, maybe I should try using a CB550 liner for a closer shave :-)

They use a badger's pubes for shaving brushes! 🤣

Probably...

Could they be from a faulty batch so were made unusable?

It's difficult to judge without seeing it, but if the scratch is as deep as you say I would be looking at a rebore.
Even then it might be too deep and new barrels or liners may be required.

Thanks Gareth, that’s the No1 Churchill barrier in the background. There are 4 that link the south islands.
Ian I didn’t visit the barrier view cafe yesterday but have been a couple of times, nice coffee and cake there! Nice to get out even for a short blast. Thanks for reminding me about the tank. Or should I say “tanks”😜

We drove across that barrier when we visited Orkney a few years ago. We had a meal in the Commodore one night when it was actually open!

There's one on the wall behind the counter in my local bike shop. I can buy it if anybody wants it, then post it on.

It's probably OK to sell them, just illegal to actually use them on another frame.

Should be illegal, but we all know that the law is an arse.😖

That’s 450 miles from me.

But only 20 miles from Little Dunkeld, which is where my great grandfather was from.

One day I will visit.

Break the journey halfway,  makes it less painful. 😁

Hi,
I think a few of us up her would be up for it - I'm away mid May to early June but OK rest of time,
Ian

That would be great Ian. 👍

Out & About / SOHC meet in Scotland
« on: February 07, 2024, 01:04:09 PM »
Last year I suggested a meet up in Scotland for forum members, particularly those that live in more remote parts and don't travel too far down South. We don't want to be corrupted by the Southern Softies! 😉

Just kidding, the arthritis stops me from riding too far these days. The joys of reaching retirement age.

So, if anybody fancies meeting up, I suggest The Crieff Visitor Centre, PH7 4HQ on 29th or 30th June.
It's fairly central Scotland and has a large free car park, restaurant and facilities. It's a regular stop off for me when out for a ride.

There is plenty of accommodation in Crieff and surrounding area if anybody needs to stay over or are touring Scotland at the same time.

Nothing is set in stone, so date and place are flexible.
