The current range of 650 fours have the same style headers as the 400/4, which I thought was a nice touch by Honda.

Thta does describe what it looked like!! But when I google it, no. It was much smaller, very 'square'/boxy. I'll see him tomorrow and ask again!!

Diddy little things.

That looks more like it! Will have to get him to show me the picture again as it doesn't look exactly right! LOL

That's awesome that she posted that. I always used to stop for horses coming the other way and wait for them to go past before starting up again (depending on the bike I'd turn the engine off). Slightly more difficult if going the same way but I'd bimble far back and wait for a bit of road I could pass on the other side safely and as quietly as possible! (But I spent my childhood riding horses on the road from about 8 - 16)

Kudos to you guys and and huge positives that the rider posted the story :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance:

One of our gang (who previously got us the stickers from Ginsters ) is going to send this one to them too for them to use if they wish, see if we can get some more sponsorship out of them :D

You swine! I couldn't think of any other 'boxy' 400s from that era (the Kawasaki really wasn't).

Yup - that looks much more like it! Thibault was out skiing when I was at the cafe today, so I'll check with him tomorrow!

Finally got the Hot Cross Bun recipe to be (IMHO) spot on! Got some that are going in the freezer but the rest have been shared out with friends!!

Well, apart from some that the Easter Bunny is going to deliver in the morning :lol: :lol:

Got a good few miles on the bike today. I stuck to all the back roads for the most part as the main thoroughfares were clogged with traffic and hordes of cyclists. Gave the suspension a good workout and I seem to have arrived at a good compromise,so I'll stop fiddling for now.

Heated vests and grips are surely the dog's danglies. 8-)

Got another 97 miles on the crf today, so close to the first oil drop. Only had 270 on the clock when I got it. Pic is taken on Clee Hill, lovely run taking in Ironbridge, Bridgnorth, Cleobury Mortimer, Clee hill, Cleobury North and looping back home. Bit cool. extra layer today, grips on 50%, sorted.

Got a little fender bag coming from 24mx to fix on the back for water and stuff. £13 delivered. 👍

Nice one, got one of those on the back of my KTM. I use crossed bungies over mine as it wobbles around a bit on the velcro patch. Has lasted well.
