Doesn't it look fantastic  8). Johnny is 100% correct, well done for capturing it as you have done, obviously using a very fast shutter speed on the camera with it being a yellow one  ;)

It's the only bike I've ever had where the speedo is showing 60mph when the bike is still on the stand. Incredible! ;D

Yes I'm afraid there was a duff  batch. Normally yellow ones show 3 figures on the stand 🤔😁
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Went to Amlwch Classic Car & Bike show today. Sadly the weather Gods weren't in a good mood today as it was raining on and off. This no doubt impacted on the number of entrants. I did toy with the putting one of my bikes or cars in, but the forecast was rubbish, so I thought better of it.
However a BIG well done to the owners of these two Honda's and a Matchless who braved the elements and I thought them very worthy of inclusion here.

Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the front of the little Honda SS50, it looked like a anti dive mechanism. From the side the external damper looks like it connects to a link of some sort

It looks like a suspension measurement device as used on some race bikes. A bit of overkill on the little jaffa cake. 😄

It must sound well noisy with what looks like no silencer fitted.

Looking good, did you leave a lovely haze of blue smoke behind you?

Nice to get some pleasant autumn weather. This has not been a good year up in the north of the country. Lot of dry weather but seemed to be a lot of wind. Hopefully get an Indian summer yet.😜

Out and About 2026

Final ride of the season for me on my recently acquired R1150GSA.

Have hankered after one of these models for years after watching the long way round series all those years ago. It hasn't disappointed - bit of a marmite bike for some, but I love it.

The riding conditions down south were stunning yesterday.
