Jump right in...

Hi all,
Just took ownership of a red 2000 C90. My first Honda since my MT5 back when God was a boy...
Looking forward to my first ride this weekend.
The bike came from a very fine chap in Bolton who like me is also a GPZ900r owner. I am told the bike has travelled well completing the NC500 without a whimper.
Bodes well for LEJOG next year!
Good to be here...

That is my 1963 Spitfire4 that I have had since 1985. Just finished restoration and back on the road for first time since 1997.

Very nice Straker.I had one many years ago,a white 1965 one.
It tried to kill me.Going a touch too fast round a bend and 3 jumps and it was across the other side of the road.Luckily,in those days not much traffic about,so I got away with it.

Sorry to hear that JohnS, a similar thing happened to me back in the 80s. This time around I have fitted a camber-compensator.

Looking good, glad you’re enjoying it.

I have some fantastic memories from riding that little bike, all good.

It deserves a trip south, did the 500 and a trip to France was under debate once too, but alas time off work not involving the FPO is limited.
