Honda Other description
Cleaning out the garage - I'm downsizing to a condominium and the bikes have to go. I am the 2nd owner of this vintage CX500 that I bought in 1980. It sat in the garage unused for a number of years as I moved on to a Harley Davidson and just lost interest in it. I recently went through it and changed all the fluids and tinkered with it to get it ready for sale. Everything works - all the electrics, drive-train, ... although it does run poorly - unresponsive, surges a bit, but does idle just fine after it's warmed up. No doubt this is because the carbs are likely gunked from sitting too long so they need a thorough cleaning. This bike is all stock (except for the little clip-on windshield you see in the pictures). The tank is clean inside with no dents but there is a blemish to the graphic on the right side where I spilled some brake fluid while filling the master cylinder and a nick where the seat meets the tank (small). Seat is perfect - no rips or defects. The right fork seal weeps a little bit of oil (not bad enough to replace) but I did replace the left one as it was leaking too much. The tires look good but they're ancient and should be changed. It does have the markings on the crankcase showing the that stator has been serviced (original owner took care of that). It has all the normal wear and tear you would expect from a 35 year old bike. It's a good starting point if you're a VJM enthusiast and want to do a concours restoration.

Bahrain track days
Tue, 17 Dec 2013A 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.
Helmet Law Upheld in Ontario
Tue, 16 Jun 2009A Sikh in Ontario, Canada, has lost his challenge to the $110 ticket he received back in September 2005 for not wearing a helmet while riding his Honda Shadow. Baljinder Badesha, 39, claims the Ontario helmet law is “100 per cent” discrimination no matter what the safety issues are when riding without a helmet. We cannot put anything over the turban, it is against our religion. Mr. Badesha said outside court.
