Title: CB500/4 50th celebration
Post by: JezzaPeach on July 02, 2020, 09:09:30 PM: Is anyone aware of a national event to celebrate the 500/4â€™s 50th anniversary?
I think itâ€™s 2021?

Post by: Johnwebley on July 02, 2020, 09:21:02 PM: Might be worth contacting various parties. Like David Silver
And asking

Can't think of any others

Post by: JezzaPeach on September 23, 2020, 04:02:58 PM: Hi oldboy
Yes I was thinking Box Hill as at least for owners in the
south itâ€™s easy to get to as just an informal event.
I might as well randomly suggest a date!
Sunday 16th May 2021 09.30 to 12.30
This might be into decent weather and mid way between
bank holidays.
Even if just a few turn up it would be fun.

Post by: Johnwebley on September 23, 2020, 04:42:54 PM: How about somewhere in the Midlands.

Place with a museum?

Post by: JezzaPeach on September 23, 2020, 07:32:25 PM: Maybe both. I could ride to Box Hill for a local get together. Might need a van to go to the NEC!
But that would be a great location for a national event.

Post by: Johnwebley on September 23, 2020, 07:32:46 PM: Ideal.

If we decide a date. I could ask them if they could do a special day sort of thing.

But being Japanese. They might not

Its going to be at the latest March 1971 Bryan as the K0 I have is 3/71 and less than 1000 frame no.
Title: Re: CB500/4 50th celebration
Post by: JezzaPeach on September 23, 2020, 10:39:02 PM: Interesting Ash. Was the K0 even before 1971, or just very early â€˜71 I wonder?
I was just thinking some time during 2021 as the relevant year, a month where outdoors is likely to be ok.
Title: Re: CB500/4 50th celebration
Post by: Bryanj on September 23, 2020, 11:13:54 PM: Nope it was 71, i just cant remember off hand when No 36 was built. I have it written down in several places just not the brain.

EDIT
Just realised i have a word doc on this dumfone

10000036 was built 2/71 so that has to be first day

Post by: Gromitdog on September 25, 2020, 07:32:40 AM: Brightona

Is a huge bike rally down on Brighton sea front think it is run by the "ACE CAFE" they start in London at the Ace Cafe then run to Brighton Don't think its not a set route so its quite relaxed, I have been a couple of times and joined in 1/2 way down what a fab day out live music and 1000s of bikes I am sure they would be up for hosting it as a group ?

I would be interested in a meet up north or Midlands :) area, As Brighton is a long run but do want to do the Ace Cafe to Brighton before I need to fit stabilisers to the bike ! ! ;D

Post by: JezzaPeach on September 25, 2020, 07:40:55 AM: Yes why not a few during the year to increase the options and avoid severe weather if necessary.
Title: Re: CB500/4 50th celebration
Post by: florence on September 25, 2020, 07:57:03 AM: and let us not forget Somerset/Devon. Exmoor is superb for camping, and lots of interesting roads, Porlock, Lynton and Lynemouth, Ilfracombe, Hartland etc...

Post by: oldboy on September 25, 2020, 11:11:48 AM: Camping Florence!!!!!! I'm 68, any five star hotels????
Title: Re: CB500/4 50th celebration
Post by: florence on September 25, 2020, 01:25:34 PM: Five star hotel on a motorbike?
Title: Re: CB500/4 50th celebration
