Honda CB400NA Superdream - new money puddle.

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

I'll look out for that film Johnny - I did watch a  crime series a couple of years ago, I enjoyed that.

I do miss Ken's eagle eye, he rang me this afternoon to tell me he had spotted a problem on my 400N.  My heart sank at first but it does explain why its a tad slow to start and why the tickover is all over the place.

The left side carb mounting rubber where it is attached to the cylinder head is cracked right through from previous over tightening. Neither of the two in my spares box look like the correct ones.

Bring back Ken!

Work has ground to a halt due to a cut on the ball of my right thumb done by a spring clip 4 days ago - I've got to let it heal before I re-fit the top cam cover.  Dipping it in the array of liquids in my garage has not helped, boy does petrol sting in a part healed cut.

Things that you need your thumb for include.
1.Shaving - I cut myself shaving trying to hold the razor without using my thumb.
2. Pulling up your trouser zip when you get dressed.
3. Fastening almost any type of button including any press buttons on my shirts.
4. Picking up a cup of Tea.

👍 thumbs up to that Ted!😳

Pollex to that Johnny. 👎😁👍

[Also known as the pollex or digitus primus manus, the thumb is anatomically different from the hand's other four digits]

😂 thought you were being rude for a minute there Ted!🤭

I've never come across the medical term before its a good  word for Scrabble players. Thanks Mr Google.😁

I'm with you Ted having just had both thumb joints replaced its amazing the things that you have problem doing without a working thumb, the left hand was bad enough but the right has been really annoying.

Your situation is off the scale Dennis compared to my self inflicted minor wound - wishing you a speedy recovery.

My BiL had some sort of Gold injections in his fingers due to long term issues in both hands - he struggles to ride his bikes these days, he is nine years younger than me.

I played Scrabble last night and accidentally swallowed some Scrabble tiles. I've been suffering with vowel movements ever since. If I have to go to the toilet just one more time it will spell Disaster!

You been listening to Tim Vine by any chance Dave? 😂😂

Back on track ever so slightly - am wondering what was painted silver & what was polished alloy on the CB400NA originally?

My clutch casing is polished alloy as are the visible parts of the cam top cover.
The rest loks like it was silver paint.

Our daughter bought us this recently Dave... highly recommended and very addictive.
