Today was another first, a quick illicit ride on the CL450 on a local dirt road, first time under its own power in decades. No number plate as it hasn't come yet. i won't tell if you don't. ;)

Over 300 running—in miles clocked up during the past week and all is fine, hasn't used a drop of oil and the very slight weep from the rocker shaft appears to have 'self healed' 😊.

Yes, I'm very lucky as my wife is also a petrolhead - although she likes the bikes, she prefers the TRs.

I think the Triumph range of cars has a higher percentage of interesting/collectable models than almost any other normal manufacturer. With TR, Spitfire, GT6, Vitesse, Stag, Dolomite Sprint etc. All very interesting.

Nice TR there, thought I recognised the location. Parked in that spot a few times too.

Thanks, I'm very attached to my TR3A and have owned it for about 18 years.
Newlands Corner is top spot for classic and modern bikes and cars, although the bugger's now charge for parking......
Spot on about the range of cars offered by Triumph which are now considered classic! I would say they were built to last, but most have been rebuilt at least once - my 'affair' with TRs started in 1983 when I bought my first TR6 from a Council compound for £900.

The sun was out today (rare in Manchestershire) so I took the CL450 out to Mossley, to buy excellent home made steak pie and chips from Alan & Viv's chippy, not because I needed to, but because I could :) The bike sang as it whizzed along and I had a big smile, it suddenly makes all those hours and £s I spent resurrecting another abandoned bike well worth it.Well done Dave - the CL450 looks awesome...

Notice the wall behind the CL450, the Victorians didn’t mess around with namby pamby cheap brick walls. I learned from a Fred Dibnah programme that the dimples in the middle of the huge stone blocks were for a kind of scissor clamp that they used to grip them when they were lifted into place. Now you know look out for them in any 19th Century architecture.

Fine really, even though they are a bit bigger than they should be. There is a 4.00x18 on the back and a 3.50x18 on the front. I have had no problems with them up to press, so will stick with them for now. Just that I am loath to change new tyres. Biggest problem was the front tyre catching the front mudguard but I adjusted that. :)
I am running them hard though.

Today I stopped at a cash machine, only for a minute, so I wasn't too bothered about parking on a double yellow line. When I'd finished, I turned round and to my horror, there was the traffic warden walking around behind the bike to see the reg number. 'Don't see many of these around' he says, we then had a chat about the bike, and at no time were yellow lines mentioned! I wonder If I'd have got a bollocking or a ticket if I'd been on something less interesting.

Lovely bike James. What a shame about the barrels having to be changed out, maybe a porus casting if you couldn't detect the leak from elsewhere?Yeah it was a real test of patience this one.
Heartbreaking to discover an issue like this on a freshly restored bike - especially given the fact you can’t perform any top end maintenance on the engine ‘in-frame’.
Still, it needed to be sorted and it was. And the feeling of a lovely smooth, well sorted, slick gear-changing cb750 is like nothing else in my book.

heading south to Nantglyn and west to Llangernyw,and north to Colwyn Bay KTM .
next head sout to Nant Gwynant and passing through Bedgellert to Clynnog Fawr south to Criccieth this is an area I know well
as we spend hols near here ,but more details of pub food and ice cream makers for another day !!!
final check just east of Port Madog ,and head south to Brithdir and Dinas Mawddwy ,then a 30 mile run back to Welshpool,

off next to Machynlleth and Dolgellau and then through a few hills to Dinas Mawddwy.then home. Those hills remind me of my fun time in Lincolnshire a couple of years ago.
Enjoy the pics.

Don't know were you get the time John - I managed 20 miles on CR to check running after taking the main jets down to 130 - after fitting in essential house maintenance, grand kids and Mrs Ward (who isn't into bikes. Maybe when I fully retire in 2 years!Phil.that is the secret.when you retire make sure your time that used to be work is now enjoyment time.
And stuff like house maintenance is in the previously leisure time.
Remember. We have all worked hard to get to retirement. Don't waste it.Enjoy it !!!!

I was trying to just use the old back roads, that were once the main roads before the new fangled turnpikes came along. At one stage it was single track and lots of gravel, the sort of road I wouldn't be at all happy on the CB750, but made for the CL450 :)
Post by: K2-K6 on April 24, 2019, 07:18:18 PM
The CL looks good out in the wild Dave, that is a good match in mirrors for the tank isn't it. A nice little detail.
There's a whole genre of photography around that, like this example below

Bike meet and a Balti house perfect ;DIt's just one of those little leaflets that they stuff on every bike advertising the next bike night. Notice, I let Trig take my CB550/4 out tonight.......I couldn't make up my mind whether to take my 400 or my 550, so I let him ride the 550 just so i could have both there 😀😀😁

That BSA is the bike that always impresses me, I can remember lusting after one when they first came out but it was never meant to be, I see one locally that looks just like that one, the guy uses it as his day to day transport.

I intended to explore the Lynn peninsula today. But the weather has turned miserable.The ride today was brisk. Total of 149.6 miles.and I started with a full tank and refilled with 12.8 litres.

I sorted matters out by fitting a CB750/4 gear lever (same height though different angle and distance from the crank case) and am now able to ride in touring boots if I want to!
Although it's difficult, I'll have to check whether this is the boot or the denims. I ride with my toes on the footpeg and move to the insole for each gearchange. It must happen when I move my foot up and back after changing gear...
I can't see how a different gear lever will change this?

Post by: flatfour on June 03, 2019, 08:27:52 AM
I tried it because I have a CB750 parked next to the 500 in the bike garage and it seemed worth a look. When it all worked out, I ordered one from CMS for the 500. That was around three years ago and it's been on there ever since, the original sitting in my spares box in case it is wanted in future.
I noticed at the time that I ordered that CMS only offered the one type of gear lever for both bikes (the 750 style) although that was presumably due to availability, rather than anything else.

@ moorey and adespin thanks for the heads up I will be there again this year any excuse for a ride out and visit BABS the same time
Pendine is a great place to visit, my wife's best mate lives near there and we last went this spring. You can (sometimes) ride on the beach if you wash the salt off afterwards. However you won't see Babs I'm afraid, they were demolishing the museum - Wikipedia tells me they are going to build a new one, but not why and when.
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Babs_in_Museum_of_Speed%2C_Pendine_%285747%29.jpg/220px-Babs_in_Museum_of_Speed%2C_Pendine_%285747%29.jpg)
In all the times I've been there I only saw Babs there once, as the museum was closed in the winter, and Babs often went off to shows and events in the summer. Ironically, the one time I did see it at Pendine, I saw it again two weeks later at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, going up the hill! The 27 litre aero engine was run on fast tickover up the course, it sounded like the apocalypse.

If you look closely it has major modifications for todays traffic conditions. It has a pushbike disc brake on the back wheel. ;D
More than that, it's got pushbike type brake blocks operating on front rim as original kit it looks. you can just see them between the fork stanchions.

Using the technique when riding/driving helps you stay out of hazardous situations .

How many miles have you done on it now since the rebuild Julie.Just over 2000 miles Chris. So that's in just over a year but she was off the road for 6 months over the winter and I have the other bikes to ride as well, so not too bad really. I tend to ride her more when I'm out and about on my own, I like to keep all the fun I have on her to myself ;D ;D ;D

Still cant quite cock my leg over it yet. :DYou will soon be better than new.had my hip done 18 months ago.it brilliant now.

On the coast road north of Aberystwyth. I enjoyed the holiday but I wish they rode faster. I kept blasting ahead and waiting.Head for Machynlleth. Then Dolgethleu. Excuse the spelling. And to Bala then Porthmadog
Lovely roads

Fine thanks Julie. Getting on is a bit of a stretch still but riding it is now totally pain free. Couldn't be happier with it. Anyone suffering with bad hips get them sorted its life changing. What seems strange is it still hurts getting on but not off you would think it would be the same. :)That's because it's different muscle groups working with the two different processes due to the position of the whole body.

I would have thought one was just the reverse of the other, the same action with the cocking over leg just the other way around. But what do I know about that game. Diddly squat. ;DYou know more than most Chris, it's your hip 😀😀😀 Next time you get on and off the bike, analyse your whole body posture, it's totally different for both processes. Most important thing is that you are comfy and pain free when riding. Even I'm beginning to have slight issues getting on and off of bikes, not as easy as it used to be.

One of the first bikes I rode, my elder sister's boyfriend let me ride his GT250 prior to buying a red 550 to replace it. I was fifteen at the time and it felt like the fastest thing in the world as my own transport was a Holdsworth bicycle ;D

A Holdsworth Nigel, you bought from a local Putney based bike builder then? I used to ride past the shop on my 10 speed Carlton to have a look on my way to visit my aunt. Lovely handmade frames in orange and blue 👍.
I'd inherited it from my uncle so unsure of its original supply. Campgnolo gearsets and lovely large flange aluminium hubs with alloy rims, unfortunately sold when I got a moped.
Saw one in those colours recently for sale and nearly bought it, very good looking bike.

The 4 cylinder Leader is another British 'what if'. The British motorcycle industry was littered with them and includes the Trident 4, the 500 Wolf, Fury/Bandit, all the BSA\Triumph modular bikes, the BSA Speedway engine etc. Such a shame short sighted management killed the industry with stupid ideas such as the BSA Dandy, Beagle & the Ariel 3 wheeler!
A really good book to read is 'Whatever happened to the British motorcycle industry' by Bert Hopwood, a real eye opener and first hand account to what really happened as a result of under investment.

Well finally got to test out the new knee, every time I have planned to go out it has chucked it down, today was dry but cloudy and cool so off I went, and the knee worked fine, I had to lift my foot up a bit to operate the back brake but I can cope with that. I didn't wear my leather jeans so it was a bit cool on the old legs so I only got about 20 miles in.Well done Dennis, you have done really well and I'm pleased the mirrors are good for you. I have to lift my feet to both change gear and use the back brake....its a problem when you only have size 4½ feet......they just aren't long enough to reach anything 😀😀😀😀

That looks lovely Paul - I'm looking forward to completing my K1, and getting my driving licence back in July/August.
What tyres are fitted? - thinking about Battlax BT45 (as fitted to my Z900), anyone got a view on which are best suited to the K1?
Post by: Nurse Julie on September 02, 2019, 03:00:18 PM
Nope...Trig has those cheap ones on all his 750's and they don't squeak. I have those expensive sintered ones back in my 400 and she is still squealing at slow speed, even though that front brake system has been fully overhauled and refurbed at least 10 times now...including having the disc slimmed. It was perfect for about 100 miles and then she started again.

Sorry Andrew the question did pass me by.
The Contis feel great but not really pushing anything as its still running in.
The pads are EBC so not a cheap brand just cheap price which Trigger found for me ;D

I must admit to not visiting since I donated the engine "to a good home"
I had hoped that they would have displayed the history of the engine (who built it and why it was thrown out by the Honda dealer during a refurb)
Never mind - at least it's not stashed away in someone's barn any more...

Looks a bit better than pissing it down Wales. :(There was a very light shower for 5 mins but, we were in the pub having lunch at the time, so we missed it totally 😀😀😀

Who's had the gritters out yet. They gritted heavily here the start of last week.
Definitely gritting up here. Snow on the A93 at Glenshee last week. 😯

In Slovakia definitely, all works in reactive mode only, no preventive gritting. Only in mountain areas, short before snowfall sometimes they start...
And yes, salt is very bad for cars/bikes...

One thing is annoying on CB750K, at least mine - even w/o extreme angle while cornering, I'm scratching pegs and on the left side kick stand.... Only way is to appy "knee style" to compensate it.. On this pic it is quite visible how close it is.. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191105/d03f70ae646234afc6fc44cc5708937d.jpg)

We clocked up 110 miles with a stop off for a big breakfast and coffee (as you do).
Luckily the weather was ok so I rode the 400four instead of the VT.
Post by: Johnwebley on December 28, 2019, 07:30:38 PM
I am hoping to get out Monday.
It should be dryer then.
I HATE having to wash the bikes after

Went on what was probably the last rideout of the year. There was 10 of us from the local club, riding on anything between a Honda 125 cc Grom and some big Kawasaki, the newest was a 69 plate, oldest was a 1942 ex WD BSA.Where was the bike stop mike, looks like a bikers caf' could it be mid Wales ?

Not quite 110 miles - done about 110 miles less the 100! Went out on CR to move the petrol through the carbs - try to get out on one of the bikes every week but the roads are so dirty at the momentYou have done 10 miles more than me then Phil 😭😭😭 What with all the rain and the farmers getting the crops out of the fields 24/7, the roads are covered with about 6" of mud at all times.... not really safe in a car, let alone on a bike. Farmers need to do their work though so, no complaints from me.

About 10-12 miles covered on each.
Very invigorating.
Hopefully a longer run tomorrow
