Honda CB description


For Sale:  1983 Honda CB1000C with 31,400 original miles.  Bike is in overall excellent condition and would probably rate somewhere between a 8 and a 9 on a 10 point scale but as the pictures show, this is still a beautiful machine.   This one is pretty well loaded except for a radio which it does not have.    There are a few very minor scratches on the tank.  You really have to hunt to find any others.  The suitcases have been professionally repainted and look extremely nice.  The pipes are excellent and original and but for some minor pitting and bluing near the rosettes, look very nice and are solid with no holes or leaks.   The seat has been newly recovered and has no marks, tears, or blemishes of any kind.  The tires are brand new with no miles on them at all.  Bike has been garage stored as part of my modest collection for approximately 7 years and has recently been brought back to life with the petcock and carbs completely rebuilt.  The tank has been acid etched and sealed.  The battery is new.  The engine runs beautifully and the bike rides and sounds great with no leaks no smoke and no unusual noises.  If I were looking to take a cross country tour, I would not hesitate to take this bike anywhere.  I have all the keys and all the locks work perfectly.  Also included are the original owner’s manual and tool kit.  Please bid only if you are serious and can complete the transaction if you win.  I am a little sad to have to let this bike go but age and health tell me that it’s time to let some other lucky owner enjoy this bike. This bike has many miles and smiles left in it.

Bahrain track days

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain.  After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).  Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with   The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.  Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs.   Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race.  The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business.  The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures.  As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day.  Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing.   All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter.  I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda.  Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.

For all you lovers of perfectly welded titanium, amazingly machined aluminium and lovingly crafted fasteners; this blog's for you. These pics were shot at the Sepang MotoGP tests where the bikes were presumably being warmed up, ready for action. Take a look at that Suzuki, it's a work of art.
