Great little bike. Mine is the 1986 GK71F. Have had to do a fair bit to it but over the last 5 years it's taken me all round France, the Massif Centrale and the Pyrenees twice and last year I did a monster 4500 mile trip in two weeks out through as far as Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia and lots of countries in between here and there. Did it without too much bother, sat on the Autoroutes when needed at around 90mph for hours on end and handled the twisty bits fully laden with me and luggage without complaint. Had some overheating problems which were rapidly cured on returning by replacing the knackered rad cap with a new one.

That's proper!

Welcome to the org. Nice colour, shame about the shape...

Hi Gary...welcome to the org. I have a 400 too....CBR400RR Gull Arm in the garage waiting for me to pass my modules 1 & 2 next week and I can't wait to get out on it.

Oh, I'm also very sorry, but as I have had a few beers and my brain is playing tricks on me; when I first saw the thread, I thought your username was gaynortheast. Now, I apologise profusely for this mistake and also for the fact that I will forever more think of you as gaynortheast. I best just call you Gary

Now, you live near Welshpool eh? Do you know the Westwood? Stretchie and I have have stayed there a couple of times and he's stayed there other bikers a few more times. Titch, the big dude that runs it and Diane (his Mrs) call his name when he walks through the door even if he hasn't been for a year. He can tell you a funny story about the downstairs toilet window and it being used to gain entry.....when the back was still open

OMG - Cheryl, I actually love you! gaynortheast!

[garynortheast]

Username is garynortheast ! And my name is Gary Northeast. But you can call me Gary.

I do know the Westwood but I've never been in there. I shall be doing so in a couple of weeks though to meet up with the people from a local bike club who have just started meeting there.
