Honda's go on forever

Some maybe, others end up in bits in sheds

Indeed I sold my SOHC 750 a year or so ago after it sat for 20 years or so receiving good intentions and little else. It is now back on the road.

I believe it is a piece of folklore that no Honda mechanic knows what the inside of a V4 Pan European looks like as they just don't break.

We changed a few water pump housings... front of the engine where all the crap hits from the front wheel, these were all on very high mileage bikes used by instructors.
That's about it.

Pre hibernation clean up and won the bet on whether we could fit all 3 beasties in the bike port

Such a nice day for late October, so I just had to take the V7 out to look at the North Sea.

Finished my allotted tasks just before midday and as Brokett said such a nice day so jump on the bike with a make it up as I go along route.
Hope Valley to Ladybower then over the Snake (open again to non HGVs) to Glossop.
On to and through Holmfirth then towards Stockbridge.
Turn off at Langsett and make my back to Bamford over Strines Moor.
Hope Valley again and home but via Bradwell this time.
Even though very busy around the tourist hot spots an enjoyable 90 mile loop.

Today I fitted a Delkevic 350mm carbon fibre oval to the tigger. This replaces the 320mm stainless steel tri oval I picked up second hand. It sounds good, with a deep grumble and looks a whole lot better than the stainless item too. Very happy. Tri oval can with no baffle available if anyone is interested ?

Fitted a small “Rack Bag” to the Strom .... or is that “Fanny Pack” ......

I took the Black Guzzi for a trip to see my mum (99) and put another 110 miles on the clock
Tedious and boring it may be but a mudguard extender is the best add on for most bikes.

Few days back I picked up a new scoot. At (nearly) 300cc I can (almost) play with the big boys again.

It's not a Gilera by any chance ? I had one as a courtesy bike when I very briefly had my Guzzi V85tt and dropped it in for its first service. What a hoot to ride, It went like a rocket around town and was always the fastest thing away from the lights. I bit 'vague' over 60 mph mind...

Put some "Road Fund" theft money on it . . . then ridden onto some dirt that don't require said robbery money
