Hello
« on: March 05, 2014, 05:34:48 PM »
Hi there another new face to the fold. I started life on a Honda MT50 before progressing to a Suzuki GP100. Then I got myself a Suzuki GS550 which I spent a year on touring around Australia, sheer bliss. Then back to reality in the UK and used a Kawazaki KE175, great fun before falling into the clutches of four wheels. So it is now time to get back on the road and having admired the 400-4 it is time to find a runner and make friends with some spanners and socket sets. I look forward to your replies to my daft questions and hope to meet some of you on the road soon. Also if anyone knows of a bike going in the Warwickshire area I would love to hear from you, in the mean time I have an eye on eBay etc.

Cheers
Greg

Welcome Greg, i had a KE 175 when i was younger. I found it in the canal, dried it out, quick service and away it went. The police couldn't be bothered picking it up after i reported it, so rode it round the fields. Enjoy.

Hi, I have a relative of the ke in the shed, my kh125 was my first ever bike, I graduated to cb550 and 500's after passing my test. I've had a few other bikes but the kh125 and 500/4 sidecar outfit are the ones that will always stay.

Hi.
Welcome to the forum.
Having only recently joined this forum myself, I can tell you there's loads of friendly guys and loads of interesting discussion.
I've just got a CB400F myself, and I think you'll be in for a treat if you find a good 'un.
Makes a perfect step up in power from bikes I've had before, and it perfectly suits the 60mph national speed limit over here in NZ.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes it is appreciated, however all these pictures of shinny bikes are just pushing my jealousy buttons. Oh well back to eBay. Hi Kiwi, had a very nive 6 weeks in NZ after Aus but it was alas bike less however a beautiful place to live.

Hi Greg and welcome,
                                       It never ceases to amaze me how 400/4's keep on turning up!
