Re: one for the older gents
Absolutely, I went everywhere on my T500 even did the Isle of Man on it .
Camped that year totally wet through for most of it and in the pub for the rest.
Got home early morning Mum wouldn't let me go to bed until I'd had a bath. Great times

Re: one for the older gents
Nice photos Fabiostar. Good company for you and the LC
Bad choices make good stories
Re: one for the older gents
Yep, I'm 'nearly' an older gent. Fond memories of those days when I was a Honda mechanic in a multi-dealership. Got to ride those bikes and those 750s were a terrifying piece of machine when we'd come from fairly ordinary CB 250s and 350s!!
Re: one for the older gents
WOW that's amazing, thanks for posting the photo's Fabio

Gotta love them kawasaki triples.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN
Re: one for the older gents
Ooh, I'm being spied upon . The poor Storm is sidelined at the moment whilst I do some 'refreshing' on my 'new' old (2001) Pan Euro. And guess what? This thing has only a belt at the front!!
I'll drop one binless pic here lest I get admonished. (For the Pan or no bins, take your pick)
Re: one for the older gents
Not by me. Always thought one would suit me. Comfy, well equipped and faster than a lot realise. You certainly have a diverse collection and all honda by the looksnigelrb wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 8:00 pmOoh, I'm being spied upon .

Re: one for the older gents
love the big Pan, I have a spare headlight in the shed gathering dust if you want it, no use for me now.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

Re: one for the older gents
Thanks very much for the generous offer. I am already hoarding so much stuff for my baker's dozen bikes. I know it would just sit in my sagging loft.grumpyfrog wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 10:01 am love the big Pan, I have a spare headlight in the shed gathering dust if you want it, no use for me now.

Re: one for the older gents
what cans are on there? My original ones were worse than tissue paper. Ended up re linking a set of remus carbon ones on. You know, to save a bit of weight

Re: one for the older gents
Yeah, I saw many with suspect exhausts. It seems early VFRs suffered similarly. This has a Delkevic stanless full system. Nice note; a tad loud for the average old fogie tourer, but fine for me.grumpyfrog wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 10:49 pm what cans are on there? My original ones were worse than tissue paper.

And the weight? Frig me. For those of us used to hauling around reasonably 'nimble' sports bikes in the sub-200 Kilo region, this thing is like trying to cuddle Daunting Dora from Overeaters Anonymous!
