…my other bike is a GPZ900R... ;))

Is that with a small r or a big R?

Wasn’t that the world’s first 150mph production bike?

Hi SteveD, thanks, I should have thought about that, but not really used to the Forum format.  Do you have an active Facebook group as well?
Not really of the Facebook generation I’m afraid. In fact, no social media presence at all

The forum is old fashioned but if you use a smartphone and Tapatalk, is quite easy to use.

Welcome and sorry about the verification system.
It’s there to stop spammers who register and post crap.

It should shut up after you have 5 posts.

In the meantime I’ll try to work out why it doesn’t know the month.

Ted - my wife and I went to see the Aussie Floyd at Nottingham last November.

There were quite a few “kids” (those in their 30s - like my kids).

To continue the thread hijack, my kids bought me the Wish You Were Here vinyl for my birthday in January. I had to break the 80s hifi out of the attic to play it.

The record deck (affectionately known as “The Rega”) is now connected to my wireless Sonos system and gets used regularly.

Sadly the old A&R Cambridge suffered 20+ years in the loft and sounded ok but cosmetically was destroyed (presumably by the heat cycles)

I must also (sadly) report that neither the Tannoys nor the Dynaudio speakers can match the sound of the Sonos

…Bike Magazine once 'Careful with that CBX Eugene'.

I was an avid reader of Bike in the 70s and 80s but I don’t remember this.

Defeated my Google search as well

I have a load of XS stuff inherited from a clearance.

Advertised on VJMC but no takers but I’ll bet there’s someone on here who is interested.

Misc / Open / CB-Mail?
« on: January 12, 2026, 05:01:19 PM »
With the regular increases in shipping and postage costs, I was wondering if we should set up an informal members service like “VifferMail” (when I had a VFR800 and was on the VFR forum).

It worked quite well.

For example, if I had an exhaust to ship but didn’t want the hassle of packing it for a courier or paying Royal Mail, I could advertise on here for anyone in the area who heading in the general direction.
After a few steps the package ends up close to the recipient.

Thoughts?

That picture is from Bob Westner who was a mod on sohc4.net for many years. I found it in a post from Dec 2008.
