Honda Gold Wing description

 For sale is a 1978 Honda Gold Wing GL1000. I bought it a few months ago and just don't have time to ride it.

New maintenance-free battery, spark plugs, and rear tire. Oil change as soon as I bought it. I also replaced the aftermarket seat with the correct 1978 OEM seat. The brakes work but could probably use some fine tuning. Timing belt cover was off when I bought it. I bought a set of replacement covers but haven't had the time to install them. I'll include the cover set.

Bike starts right up and runs well. Title in hand.
Message with questions.
I'll be around all weekend but after that I won't be in Chatham for about 2 or 3 weeks.

How to solve the mystery of the wildcard replacement

Wed, 30 Jun 2010

With the two test riders coming forward to act as replacement riders for the injured Rossi and Aoyama, it brought back memories of the days when the grid would be gifted with wildcard riders from the respective countries. The Japanese rounds were always attended by some of the top guys with experience of the 500GP and MotoGP bikes, through racing them in their domestic championships. What resulted was getting to witness the exciting and talented Japanese riders, and bring new riders to the attention of the teams.

Suzuka Eight Hour capers

Mon, 05 Sep 2011

Chatting 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.
