Honda CL description
Excellent condition low mileage (4800) Scrambler. I recently purchased at an Estate Sale from the widow of the Owner. According to her - her husband spent a lot of money to "redo" this MC. He never rode it - Just sat in the garage. There is a LOT of chrome on the bike and everything looks wonderful.
IT is supposed to be a 2 owner Texas bike - I don't know how to verify that but it does not show much if any normal wear and tear. PO has owned it since 1982. The tires look great and are road worthy. Chain likewise. I put a battery and gas in it and it started on the second kick. This thing is way LOUD and very powerful. I am surprised at the power. Shifts and stops well. It has the baffles removed from the exhaust and I have them - excellent condition and will be included in the sale. Has the tool box and a plastic container full of tools. looks to be original.
When you turn the headlight switch on – the fuse blows. The rear light, brake light and horn work. Even the “safety” light that stays on when you pull out the key in the up position works. I tested the headlight out of the bike and the low and high beam work. Don’t know how to fix the switch.
Gas tank and side panels look recently painted. The is a lot of chrome and it looks great. Would look great in anyone's collection.
Seat is original and the pan is in excellent condition. there is a tear in the middle of the top that has been repaired. there are no other nicks or tears in the seat and it has the strap and SS trim. I did buy a seatcover but did not put it on. You may want to leave it stock. I will include the seat cover with the bike.
I added in-line gas filters. The inside of the tank looks good. Cannot see any obvious rust - It looks like it has the "red-kote" coating in it. Anyway no problems with junk coming out of the tank. I did use non-ethanol gas - premium .BTW I drained the tank and carb bowls after I rode tested the bike. The key (1) works the ignition and the steering lock. The steering damper is there. the rear footpegs are there.
Has the rubber battery hold down strap. Even has the small metal clips on the handlebar to hold the electric cable in place.
Center stand and side stand are there and function properly.
Has the correct paper air filters.
Did I forget to mention that there is a lot of chrome/new . Look carefully – everything is chrome except the side panels and they and the tank look new. It has been raining in Dallas for the last 4 days. I will try to add better pics later in the week.
The engine number looks like 1054758 - hard to see between the pipes and tool kit.

WSBK 2013: Portimao Race Report
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Marco Melandri and Eugene Laverty split a pair of victories at Portugal’s Portimao circuit while Sylvain Guintoli took advantage of some misfortune to his championship rivals to increase his lead in the 2013 World Superbike Championship standings. Guintoli has been leading or sharing the lead in the championship since winning the first race of Round 1 in Australia, but amazingly continues to lead despite having just that single victory after six rounds. The Aprilia rider has accomplished this through his consistency (Guintoli leads all racers with nine podium finishes in 12 races) and ability to finish each race (he’s the only rider in the top seven without a DNF).
Suzuka Eight Hour capers
Mon, 05 Sep 2011Chatting to TT legend John McGuiness recently about his first Suzuka Eight Hour experience got me thinking of a few capers the boys and me managed a few years back at what is still Japan's most important race of the season. It is a unique event that starts at 11am and finishes at 7pm making it a pukka endurance race as the last hour is run with headlights on in the dark. It is essentially an eight hour sprint that showcases the trickest endurance machinery and manufacturer’s sales can be affected the following year depending on who wins or loses.
Proof: Change chain, gain power
Wed, 22 Jun 2011Point six of a BHP may not sound like much but, in my book, any gain is a good gain, especially when it’s as simple as changing a chain and sprockets. After all, you're going to have to do it sooner or later when your old chain and sprockets die their death. I’ve always been interested in what gains are available in the drive train.
