Ah yes, reminds me I must get my old CB750K6 back on the road.... a winter project, I think - hopefully next winter, that is!
Out and About 10th July
Having crunched the SCR last weekend ( see thread labelled "Ouch") I am now waiting for parts, but it was too nice not to ride, and I needed to get in the saddle again,
so having had it serviced I went out and about on the BMW 1100R, 22 years old and it's got a centre stand, tacho and helmet lock! Totally different ride,, rock solid motorway speed cruising, it stops , it goes ( oh yes it goes ... 80 BHP compared to 50 odd) , less tiring than the SCR but ... and here is the but... it is just efficient, not joyous like the SCR, but a ride is a ride.
So Crawley to Newlands Corner

Not bad looking for 22 years old, you can see the wrinkles close up though...

Although something look better despite their age..

i am wondering if my choice of helmet was a sign???
Then a leisurely ride back up hill, down dale, in sunken lanes to home, via Shere, Ewhurst, Ockley and Rusper.
Finally ...Beer!
