Honda CB description

Very nice 1980 CB900C in great condition with only 22.570 miles. When I bought the bike it had a different set of carbs and ran strong and smooth so there are no engine issues. The carbs presently on the bike have been disassembled and cleaned but it needs to be done again, only better. Bike is painted a 2014 Toyota color. Paint and chrome are excellent. The original seat has approx 2" of broken threading (see pic) but is otherwise in excellent condition. The tires are less than one year old and are like new. The CB1000 exhaust system has nice chrome except at the engine connections where it is dulled. No exhaust leaks. The "sissy" bar polishes up nicely and the padded back has no cracks or blemishes. Bike must be picked up by 12/15/16

Pros:
Excellent running engine
All chrome is very nice- Lights, mufflers, headlight ears, tail light, fenders, mirrors
Side cover emblems look new
Labels are nice
Black wheel paint intact and looks very good, however, rim edges have blemishes where balancing weights were previously located
All OEM parts
Tires are like new
Gas tank has been cleaned and coated inside
Battery is new

Cons:
Hard to start and rough running due to carb issues
Carbs need to be thoroughly cleaned again. OEM pump/primer is still in place (needs to be removed for better starting)
Speedo has 22,006 and is a replacement. Title dated 9/23/15 shows 22,070. I have ridden the bike approx 500 miles since then.
Shocks look excellent but could do a better job of holding air long term
Gas tank emblems have had black trim paint removed
Engine covers need to be polished
Bike must be picked up by 12/15/16

Bahrain track days

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

A 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.

I'm buying a Honda SH300i scooter

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

I want to buy a second bike to get across town on the daily commute as I currently ride a 183bhp ZX-10R to work and while it's a peach of a bike, it tempts me into doing bad things on a daily basis. This has to stop. My criteria is fairly simple: I want something that is cheap to buy (close to £2k), cheap to run, frugal on the fuel, easy to ride, nimble through traffic, dull enough to not get nicked and ABS is a deal-maker.

US Motorcycle Thefts Down 6% in 2011

Tue, 09 Oct 2012

Americans reported 46,667 motorcycle thefts in 2011, a 6% decrease from 49,791 stolen motorcycles in 2010, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Despite the drop in reported thefts, the non-profit organization representing nearly 1100 property and casualty insurance companies says the theft rate still averages out to one motorcycle stolen every 11 minutes in the U.S. The numbers were published in the NICB’s 2011 ForeCAST Report which examined theft reports as well as recoveries.
