How to fill the void ?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Now that the 500 is about done bar a longer journey I have been doing worth while but pointless tasks like tidying up the garage that needs little or no tidying. If the forecast of a dry warm day tomorrow in Derby are true it will be a decent ride out on the 500 then for as many days that September will allow.
I think I'm suffering from some sort of empty nest syndrome or like when a pet dies but it's too soom to buy another. Fortunately I'm skint until probably January so for now as it's safe to look at what if any project I might embark on.
Stafford show next month - any ideas of a Maico Letta project are firmly binned - parts are just too hard to source plus the ride will not meet my faded nostalgic memory. Great thing about the 400 & the 500 is they are neat to ride in their different ways.
Then there is the space issue where can I fit a third bike? It would mean the 400 would have to go. I like the idea of a nippy 250 or even a single cylinder small engined Honda with parts not as rare as Dodo Eggs.
I like the idea of free road tax and something lighter. I have hinted that the 500 would be my last project - I may have to eat my words.......any suggestions would only encourage me. 8) 8) 8)

The only thing I can say Ted is I spent a whole winter with nothing doing in the w/shop and no projects definately not doing that again. I have the next two winters sorted. You might just enjoy a little time to focus on other things before committing again! 😜

I'm not a fan of the trial bike look but the street version SR500 looks neat as does the SR 400. What is the parts situation?

Just sold https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326248771292 but a very different bike to the four cylinder types you've just completed.
Great to ride, feel like a bicycle in comparison to fours, narrow, light and very easy to manage when parking etc. Lovely torquey power delivery right from lowest rpm.
Extremely good value too.
