PatM:
A quick snap

PatM:
Its passed! So I did a 100 mile round trip to the Rote 66 Cafe on the A21 with my brother (GS600) and sister-in-law (EN500 , I think- just passed her test) lots of Brit bikes there, a few old- mostly new. I gave me a chance to run the 400 for a decent time and it was ok. i notice no3 pipe has heated (DSS Replica) so will re-balance carbs as will be a bit weak. The original downpipes were double-walled and the replacement not- so it doesn't take much heat to do it.
So, I've now got 3 legal bikes :-)

mike the bike:
Well done.   There's no finer feeling than having a rideout on a bike that hasn't run for a while.

Drew400:
Well Done PatM!

From a fellow rebuilder of a tatty maroon 400.

Cheers, D.

PatM:
Drew- noting your range of bikes, Ive had a few of them! Got to say, CX500 was probably the best on many fronts- i knock up the miles on bikes using them for work. But less so these days.
From the bottom since 1974- CB175, A100, GT750(!!- it was stolen) 400/4, CX500, ZXR400, CBR1000, R1 (still got it- first BN bike i brought 2001), Daytona 955i , GS1150, GSA1200R, GSA1200R, Triumph Explorer, 400/4, Mobylette (!!)

Thats my biking history- the BMWs and Daytona were Firm supplied as I had them instead of car. Then the Boss sold the firm..Good while it lasted for 12 years.
