OUT AND ABOUT 2018

[Johnwebley]

I like all the pictures with the bikes out for a run.

His interest in food John,  does that make him a "hairy biker"?

He'll have to get the pots and pans out to prove his provenance 

  if Hairy can do a BBQ,it would be a nice ride out ,
run via Cheddar gorge and on to Devon,

[mike the bike]

I'd be up for that one.

[Johnwebley]

  I must be getting old,as it was very chilly !!!

Unless I'm mistaken (not that unusual!) I saw your bike at the Route 11 VJMC day on Saturday before last. I was there on my CB750 (gold K2, parked in the corner near to the side of the VJMC stand).

Had I have connected the bike with this forum at the time, I would have tried to find you to say hello. I'll keep a lookout for you at future meetings. I'll either be on a CB500/4 or the 750 K2, both are in gold.

You are not mistaken , that was my bike , I am new to the area so will be out and about on the little Honda, Hope to see you out and about .

Took Hettie up the road to Cadwell Park this evening for 'Nostalgia' bike meet. Mainly Brit bikes and lots of different race bikes. Found a CB400/4 and a CB500/4. Beautiful evening, fantastic riding back across the Wolds.

Went out with the VMCC guys (and ladies) on their annual relay rally.   Did about 100 miles through Tintern and Abergavenny in fantastic sunshine.   Just what I  needed.

Bike looks great Mike.

I didn't get out on a Honda of any sort today, I was demoted to pillion on the Thundersplat !!!

Spoke to the owner who'd recently got it but not on here though.
What a fantastic day for weather. My bike at home as when I went to start it didn't fire straight away then stopped turning. Thought it was low volts but turned out starter brushes too worn. So went out anyway to sit around talking about bikes etc.

Love the MV 
I managed to get out today on the Guzzi and loved it until I got home and was greeted with the sight of my CG smashed up on the drive again.    I think I'm going to have to tell my brother to forget bikes and go back to cars.
I think he has done less then 100miles since the last rebuild. 

[K2-K6]

The proportions on that MV are pretty good for a replica as it seems to mask that high frame headstock quite well.

Another bike there I thought looked really good was this one

It looks so much like the original as most of the retros don't come that close in capturing what people liked about them in the first place.

   it was a great day ,I managed to put miles on both the little RD and the CB.

  riding the CB straight after the  Yam showed the difference in size.

  at 60 on the RD,its like threading a needle ,the CB is like wrestling  through the bends !!!

  both ideal in their way
