I have a Peter Furlong fibre glass enclosure chain guard,
No at the end of it's life,
It worked very well, not as tidy or robust as that one,

I think the best cases were the MZ style

But the poor roads in the UK have shaken mine to almost destruction

Ian, Steve and Johnny on Orkney.
Some bikes (and Jags) were viewed and some bikes were discussed.
Some whisky was tasted, some coffee and cakes were eaten.

Not a Honda but I managed to get some time out today, I haven’t been able to make the most of this nice weather we’ve been having, I keep thinking retirement would be nice!

A grand day out Steve and Beverley, we all really enjoyed ourselves, hope you both got back safely and without too much hassle.  Not sure how you managed to find a picture of me Dad though 🤓

Well done indeed and a credit to your wee CB200.

Interesting photos, it's not every day you see a Healey Ariel on the road

Well done, 170 miles in this heat is very good going.
I have never seen a Healey on the road, I've only ever read about them. How did it sound John and was it reliable?

I thought the 500 might be feeling neglected

So a clean, strip the carbs because of the dreaded dribble, why is it always the inners??

Looks quite good for 82.5K miles

So I braved the weather, and took it for a run
