Hi Tom

Don’t worry, just wasn’t meant to be on this one. Appreciate your offer anyway. Hope all else is well.

I visited Pops today and purchased some parts including an engine & carbs etc - it was tinged with sadness on hearing about Pops recent double tragedy - he is a really genuine nice bloke who also has a couple of tidy American motors so he will probably be V8 tinkering in the future rather than a tiddly sohc unit.

It's nice that you were able to buy those bits Ted. I'm sure parts of Pop's bike will go on to keep other old Honda 400/4's on the road, which is great.

Pops400:
Hi Ted. It was good to meet you and thanks for the kind words.

I’m really glad that the parts are going to someone who I know will get the best out of them and will help keep another of these cracking little bikes on the road. I’ll confess that it’s not the way I saw the journey playing out, but I never saw the bigger picture coming, so it’s next best result, for it all to go to good homes. That’s why I wanted to sell here rather than eBay.

Really good to meet you, hope it all helps your project.

I think my reality now is to buy a complete bike when the time is right and remember my Dad when I ride it. It won’t be the end of my 400/4 days. Nor Jess’s.

All the best.

Pop
