Title: Out for a blast.
Post by: Johnny4428 on March 20, 2026, 06:57:13 AM

Managed out yesterday for a run up to the west mainland of Orkney. Even managed a stop off at “Orcadian-Ian”s gaff to have a peep  in his toy shop. Around 60 miles covered, bit cool for the naked bikes yet but most enjoyable.

Great photo Johnny, great bike.

I'm hoping to take a run out on my 400 next month if all goes to plan, I definetely need a higher ambient air temperature, being so nesh. ;D

Sounded lovely going up the brae Johnny and was looking fantastic as always!  Sorry you turned up 'atween kettles' (not the Suzuki type). Better luck next time and a good job you had nowhere to stash those carbs!

Very jealous of that fantastic scenery  8)
We've had lovely weather in London the past few days and I wanted to get out on the 400/4 but having slipped a disc last week changing a car battery riding a bike is now a few weeks away as is geeting out into the garage to continue with the NC30 build  :(

Not good Dave, speedy recovery!👍 I’ll take the Pan next time Ian so I don’t leave empty handed, and I’ll have to get in sync with kettle boiling.😂

Fabulous picture, it looks like it belongs in a Honda brochure from the 70's.
