Out for a blast.

Managed out yesterday for a run up to the west mainland of Orkney. Even managed a stop off at “Orcadian-Ian”s gaff to have a peep in his toy shop.
Around 60 miles covered, bit cool for the naked bikes yet but most enjoyable.

Great photo Johnny, great bike.
I'm hoping to take a run out on my 400 next month if all goes to plan, I definetely need a higher ambient air temperature, being so nesh.

Sounded lovely going up the brae Johnny and was looking fantastic as always! Sorry you turned up 'atween kettles' (not the Suzuki type). Better luck next time and a good job you had nowhere to stash those carbs!

Very jealous of that fantastic scenery
We've had lovely weather in London the past few days and I wanted to get out on the 400/4 but having slipped a disc last week changing a car battery riding a bike is now a few weeks away as is geeting out into the garage to continue with the NC30 build

Not good Dave, speedy recovery!👍 I’ll take the Pan next time Ian so I don’t leave empty handed, and I’ll have to get in sync with kettle boiling.😂

Fabulous picture, it looks like it belongs in a Honda brochure from the 70's.
