Latest ramblings, first attempt to get a spark. I really do want to see if I can get the engine to fire before stripping the bike down.

CD200 Benly parking only.

Initial walkaround vid to follow, at least there is a "here's one I made earlier" bike for reference.

This is the 4th or 5th CD200, or CD185 to occupy what I shall call the rescue space. A picture-bomb of the other members will no doubt follow at some point!

Soooo updates happen quickly!

Following the vid yesterday, the red 400 four is off to a new home! Thanks to Tim from Wells who will be restoring it as a long time project. The latest CD200 is now in the workshop space, so watch this space! intro video to the project to follow.

In the meanwhile, have a pic of RT-the CD200 when she first arrived, nice and light!

My first post on the new page!

It's a ramble about various oily/rusty motorcycle builds, riding oily and rusty bikes, and the bit of odd wheelings & dealings!

A Honda theme looms large, specifically the CD200 Benly. But others do join in!
