I fitted some LED spotlights to the VT. Part of my journey home is through a lane that is Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles mainly due to the potholes and it's not lit. I prefer the lane route to avoid traffic and 2 sets of traffic lights.
The main beam isn't that brilliant (pun intended) and the new spots make hell of a difference.

1 knew someone would find something wrong! Its the badges that came with the my original basket case K2 Julie - I think I have 2 x the same badges so wrong on one side. Forks are wrong too (my 2012 ignorance when I bought bike- swapped proper K2 fork bottoms with Mick thinking 75 model should have k5 fork bottoms - know now that as its a UK K2, should have earlier bottoms on) and later cyl head on (for same reason - have earlier K2 head that I may put back on at some time)I wouldn't worry about any of its individualities Phil, it looks lovely. Having seen a pic of your K2 in the past its the reason I'm going for Planet Blue on my UK K2 (That and Trig has a Candy Custom Gold one and I don't want to have the same as him 😊😊😊).

Nice bright day today first time we have both been out together this year to Squires and quite a few there, Does nobody work these days.

Busy sunny pic - I've been several times to my usual local bikes cafes during the week (taken by a mate in a car) and there were lots of bikes and people there, probably the privilege of age and retirement; the latter may be forced on me before I would like, but I could live with it. :)

the little Yam and CB200 found the wind a little to much,would only pull about in 4th into the breeze,but both suffered in the gusts ,
but went very well downwind !!!
the 500 went out,that ignores the wind,but does strengthen your arms and shoulders !!!.
went for the 50 mile run for a burger lunch,Ocean Cafe,Abergavenny
WoW ,it felt good !!!
hopefully the roads will dry,and the temperature will rise ,Happy days to come .

Make the most of it we could end up in lock down soon. The roads around here are noticeably quieter.The roads around the Lincolnshire Wolds are always quiet Chris. Today, I think we saw 8 cars, 15 tractors and a bloke hearding sheep along the road, that's about normal for around here really. Surely, even if we get to lock down stage, bike riding won't be included I hope 🤔🤔🤔🤔

So off up the valleys on the back roads to Standedge, where I stopped to admire the view. Although sunny the wind was freezing. The house in the background, behind the twistgrip, I'm told, was the 'local shop' in The League of Gentlemen.

Be careful when buying a parking ticket for the car. Most of our machines around here are the type where you use a keypad to enter your reg number. I saw 17 people today get a ticket and not one wiped the keypad with an Anti Bacterial wipe. I didn't even bother getting a ticket and took a chance that I wouldn't get caught. I'd rather get a fine and argue the reason for not getting one at a later date than touch that keypad.
This is an easy one to forget the Hospital last night had a touch screen thing to pay for parking it looked like someone had coughed there guts up on it. I have become so paranoid I have hands of a 100 year old now.

Anyhoo, I've not been out on the bike other than occasional essential booze shopping, so yesterday evening I did a bit of green laning on the CL450.

I might take the wife out on the Sportster tomorrow - sadly she's not a fan of pillion on the CL, she doesn't like the small seat and the lack of a grabrail. Her ankle got twisted gardening (!) so no more long walks for now - going lame out on the moors is not an option. What I'll miss about a ride out is somewhere to go to - usually there is food, an attraction or a drink at the other end, so I guess it will have to be a circular tour instead.

But hardly progress

There have been a few snags though and both are now of the road for awile.
The 550 had a missfire on 2 it turned out to be a loose HT lead to plug cap. Sorted that and then 2 days later it stopped sparking on 2+3. Turns out the coils duff its also still running very rich as the plugs are black.
The 750 has had a stutter at about half throttle for awile. The carbs are clean and the tap is now clear running so the stutter has gone.
When cleaning the tap I noticed the paint on the tank has bubbled around the head stock and a clip nut has fallen out from behind the Honda emblem. ::) The bike still suffers from clutch slip when you give it the beans and no amount of adjustment seens to sort it.So I will be pulling that out at some point too.
The little ER6 has sprung a leak so thats out too.
But even with all the issues its been good to get out.
Next week we are going Aprilia and Guzzi so quite likely more issues to come. ;D

It has been hot and sunny in Berkshire. I have been digging a large hole in the garden for the wife’s water feature.

I was going to say is it cloudieronthecoast ?
We had the sunshine yesterday Steve, its the sea breeze that keeps the temperature down here. We live on the Flamborough peninsula so we have sea on more or less 3 sides, its like living on a small island at times. The sea keeps the coastline cooler in the summer months, but the bonus is it also keeps us warmer than a few miles inland during the winter months. Its rare to get frost here. The thing to do when its cooler-on-the-coast is to jump on your bike and head inland! :D

Lincolnshire is back to normal as far as biking is concerned. No joke, I reckon there were 10 bikes to every 1 car on the roads today. Out on our pair of Mongrels, Millie and Ruf, racing each other over the Wolds like a pair of 21 year old nutters, brilliant fun as both these bikes handle exceptionally well. Brekkie up near Brigg and quick pit stop at Willingham Woods and then another race all the way home. I always let Trig win by the way, I couldn't handle the fall out of me winning 😁😁😁Very nice, i like the “brat style†especially the 750 with the black barrels... And it looks to have a nice looking set of cross over style marshall exhaust headers 8) Strange how I was saying on another thread recently that they seem rare and then another set shows up... I’d love to do a brat style honda like yours (or the ones on classic octane YouTube channel) but i simply cannot fit a sixth bike in my garage :-\

Grahams ride today was a bit lively at one stage as a wasp managed to get down the neck of his jacket and stung him on the back twice 😳😳😳😳. Graham has done about 1200 miles on the K6 since March, which isn't bad considering he's been very busy at home doing some serious DIY.

Runs fine just had to rock it a bit to free off the clutch and there’s a bit of exhaust smoke but not bad for an 49year old engine that doesn’t look like it has ever had any of the engine covers removed.

Just outside Newquay, Cornwall? That belonged to my friend Barry Wallond, unfortunately he died not long ago.
It's a Spitfire replica used in the movie Dark Blue World. He had another one that he used to take to shows or rent out for events.
Barry was a talented artist and quite a character!

I've always meant to stop and photograph my bike beside this in Moffat. It's owned by the local retired doctor who has some very nice classic cars in his garage too.

There's no need to be confused Ash, what I'm saying is if I lift the car up on the jack you can remove and overhaul my Haldex pump as you understand them and I don't 😁😁😁.Haldex Hydraulics that takes me back .. really close to Fenner Fluid Power (SPX) who I worked for in Rockford Il.USA and our arch enemy competitors.Seeing that you know so much about Haldex Ash, what you doing Saturday, I've got a heavy duty trolly Jack 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

To be fair, it's past an overhaul, its toast, so I need a new one. I'm just pissed off at the thought of paying nearly 2k, of which only £107 is labour, to have a new one supplied and fitted 😭😭😭😭😭

What is a Haldex pump?The Haldex Unit is like a sort of clutch that distributes drive to each wheel automatically to maintain traction. On my Freelander it controls the drive ratio to all 4 wheels. There is a pump in it, pumping oil and that's all I know really John. On mine, not only has the internal pump packed up but it's also sort of eaten itself, so I can only drive in 2 wheel drive now (not a problem) but the drive ratio is all cocked up, and scrubbing out tires, so I need a complete unit. I'm still driving the car 🤣🤣🤣🤣

But an oil pump!
It should last forever.
I assume it is sealed for life.and no oil changes needed.
Bit like auto boxes.
I was told change auto box oil every 40k miles.
It does deteriorate.
Best wishes

Wow.thats nasty.According to Land Rover its a sealed, non serviceable item and therefore there is no mention in the service schedule of cleaning the filter out and changing the oil every 2-3 years. But, Audi, Skoda, Volvo etc use the same unit and the dealers service them and repair them ( there's an overhaul kit you can get but that's still about £600 parts and labour). I could get the local independent Land Rover specialist to do the overhaul on the pump and filter but there's a very high chance I could drive up the road and the same problem occurs as the actual metal internals of my unit are knackered, so a false economy really. I suppose its the same as fitting a bike oil pump with new seals and O rings, if the working parts inside are shot, it's not going to solve the problem. Its a pain in the arse TBH.

Usually when a transmission locks like that (scrubbing tires etc) advice is to remove the rear propshaft and run it just driving the front wheels, else it'll start taking the CV joints at the wheels out too from torque windup.
Unless you drive round an equal number of left and right hand corners ;D

Each of the bikes on an identical run.
South of Hereford towards Monmouth.
Photos taken just south of St Weonards on the A466.
Perfect bike road all the way to Chepstow.

Hi John,
I have a set of four new generator brushes for a Yamaha YCS1 that i no longer have, they should fit your RD200 as they are almost the same motor.
PM me your address and i will send them to you, better you have them than leaving them in my will ;D
Post by: Johnwebley on October 08, 2020, 09:40:08 AM
Different electrics.
I could advertise them on the AircooledRD forum. Or you could

Went out for a ride this morning, via Tesco, blimey, it was chilly at times even with all the winter gear on and a bit of winter sun but still very nice to be out.
