I sold my Kawasaki Z1000 a few months ago as I was unsure what might happen to my job. Mrs Z said not to, she knew I'd regret it. Guess what? She was right. So, ive just bought an old Honda CBR 600 so that I've got something to ride.

I loved mine, shouldn’t have sold it

That's a beaut, proper pillion seat too

A classic…

I've been pondering buying an HD Sportster for a long time, but lately I've been thinking about the Yamaha MT07 & XSR700 too. Anyway, I took the plunge and bought a Honda 600 Silverwing. Just need to arrange to collect it from Boston, yep, another vehicle bought unseen, I've always been lucky before so heres hoping it continues.

Finally, after months of waiting for the V5 and a few minor twiddles, the maiden voyage was taken today:

Had to pull the owner of the Lambretta over on the way home, he was far too cool to be out on that

Picked my Silverwing up from Boston on Saturday & rode 130 miles home via Lincoln in torrential rain and very high winds, it was not enjoyable. My first thoughts are that it is a very capable machine and a nice blue.... but it's not going to do it for me and my mother says it's "not me". Think I will wait till spring and do what I should have done, buy a Sportster and change it to exactly what I want.

Has anyone seen the new CCM Blackout? 600 single looks very nice but way over-priced (£9.5k I think). Strange that it's sold as a street bike but has knobbly tyres, but I like the look very much. I think I will wait 5 years and see if there are any good used ones around.

I'd look better with 'normal' tyres.

I’ve always like the Spitfire but that’s not my favourite iteration of it.

It seems that there's an interview with Paul Sample...... the creator of Ogri (& Mitzi)

Thanks for that, it is a great program.

On another note, why the feck was I too lazy to look for the 24mm socket today when undoing the oil strainer cover on my Lexmoto? I picked up the adjustables instead and now the cover looks like something a dog with tungsten teeth has being playing with.

Lucky it's only £2.66 for a new one.

I've got a 1983 RD250 LC to finish off tomorrow, looking forward to an old school road test!.

I recommissioned (for want of a better word) an RD400 a long while back, all completely original just been sat in a garage forever.

Road lovely, nice smooth power delivery. One of the few bikes I'd have liked for myself.
