Getting back to my Honda

<< < (11/11)

Tomb:
I’m loving riding it again but yes, it’s a bit hard work on the shoulders and neck at low speed. I used to ride it everywhere even touring, not sure now I’m a good bit older 😂

It’s a Monza style cap on the Ali tank, I knocked one up out of old innertube 😂 well it’s in keeping with the rest of the bike isn’t it, and that’s what I made the last one out of 25 years ago, we’ll see how it handles E10 fuel.

I went to the post office with the V5 and asked to tax it explaining it was over 40 years old, young fella checked and taxed it for me free, he asked me to sign the old V5 for me and said he’d send it off. Thank you very much, excellent service I says.

Next bikes to get up and out are my CB77 (which only needs a battery), my CB550 sidecar outfit which will be later on, same with my old 1970 CD175

Spitfire:
Nice bike I like to see someone not afraid to be different, the tank reminds me of the one that I had on my A65.


Cheers

Dennis

Tomb:
Yes it’s the same tank, I saw a few of them for sale at Stafford at the weekend so still obtainable

philward:
Great look there - took me back to the mid 70's! Bar position is similar to my CR Rep - looks the part but now really hard work!
