    @JackWS Yes i have been right through the bike to tackle any corrosion. Now polished so its shiny. Well would be if we were to get a glimpse of some sun.

    @Sandi T Sandi Thanks. yes it is just as i say a back up or bad weather bike. So here in the UK it should get lots of use. You and Steve got any trips planned yet. Need a good read.

    Well peeps. I had the Honda out today for a lengthy run. About eighty miles. It made it there and home again quite nicely. The only problem i forgot you have to turn the petrol on and off and there i was sitting at the side of the road thinking I've been had till i looked. Gears are a little rattly but it changes and selects well so for now it's a goer. bike 500.jpeg thumbnail (1).jpeg

    Peeps it rough in places. But it is for winter riding. Perhaps when i put the 660 back on the road i will partly restore it as a summer job.

    @Sandi T Thanks and guess what the weather says Friday and Saturday may turn out reasonable weather. If so i may be out again. But probably to the same destination. Alough i don't mind it is a nice ride there round the little back bendy roads wont talk about the potholes. Let you all know if i do. Wish i was closer to you then wouldn't always end up riding on my own. Again i some times prefer it but now and then its nice to have someone with me to talk to on refreshment stops.

    Joe, hope the weather holds and that you can get in some more miles. I agree with you about riding buddies. Sometimes I like riding on my own but it's also really nice to have friends to ride with and talk to over breakfast or coffee.
