This is what I get up to sometimes, this is onboard one of the many cruise ships that call into Kirkwall.
I’m the one pretending to play the drums.😜

Bloody hell Dave! Cant cut a vehicle open quietly. Cost paid by Insurers should have been the cost to replace.

Liked the look at first and thought it was a four cylinder and then read it was a parallel twin. Nothing wrong with a twin of course but why make it look like a four? If Honda thinks a four is more appealing - give it four cylinders. My thoughts!

What absolute scum bags. The problem is there will be little or no chance of ever seeing it back again. When I see these thief’s going about on their bikes stealing anything that’s not chained down and even things that are chained down I can’t help thinking about a baseball bat! (I know it’s wrong) and I’m not a violent person.😳

Hello and welcome to the forum, quite a nice looking 550, lovely bikes when all cylinders are singing from the same song sheet! 😜

Welcome to the forum Malcolm, after a few posts (I think) you will be able to post some pics of your machines.

Looks like quite deep rusting around the spoke nipple holes. Not saying these are toast but if it was me I would buy a couple of new rims.

Hi George and welcome to the forum, bit late to the table here too but had to spend a bit of time soaking up some late sunshine in the Algarve!😜 That is a pretty tidy looking bike with reasonable looking chrome. Would imagine the 650 pretty much is a bored out 550 but not familiar at all with it.
Good luck and looking forward to updates on your project.

Good call on the oil and filter change Ken, haven’t done the oil change on these this time, did them before last lay up and they have only done 400 miles between them. Hopefully steady build up of strength over the winter Ken and you will be fighting fit comes spring.

It’s amazing if you dig around what you can find Ted!😂

No pun intended, nice one. I'm back in hospital as from yesterday probably for a couple of days.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Ted, all the best!
