dicktheleg · Mar 22, 2023

Delivered today, bought sight unseen and I must say I’m rather chuffed.

2021 Reg E4, One owner and just 1200 miles.

Rides beautifully.

Now for a bit of preventative maintenance with the ACF50 & waterproof grease.

Thanks for the offers on here chaps.

dicktheleg · Mar 22, 2023

Thanks for the nice comments chaps, hopefully much fettling and many farkles.

Nice looking bike, love the colour, not sure about the front side bags though.

As has been said a number of times around here, take it for what it is and not what it isn't and you should come to love riding it, i certainly love riding mine.

Orinoco · Mar 23, 2023

Nice, I preferred the grey, but couldn't find one new when I wanted to buy. Enjoy it.

MickDB1 · Mar 23, 2023

Nice Bike sir
I personally love those front bags on a bike. They dont half keep some shite off you in the wet
Plus they put a bit of weight up front in stead of all at backend or even on top of the back box I have seen

The Other PaulG · Mar 23, 2023

That's a great looking bike, a fabulous colour.

I thoroughly enjoyed my short spin on Orinoco's Himmy - I'd love to plan a French B road adventure on a bike like that. Chugging along seeing the scenery, smelling the smells, perfect.

Enjoy it!

Looks grand does that. Euro4? I sold the RT so will be hanging on to mine. A new chain and cush drive rubbers yesterday (could there be a link

there?) Was a bit of a bugger of a job but all ready to go out on the road as of April.

Enjoy yours. :thumb2

An excellent, real motorcycle.

Cush drive rubbers is a job i need to do.

Off for a couple of days doing some trails in Wales at weekend but, next week it'll be on with the job.

Where did you get the rubbers from Pete?

longjohn · Mar 23, 2023

Nice bike, always look and wonder maybe someday.

Why don't you use some old innertube to pack the cush rubbers out; with 25 bhp or so to the back wheel it wont put any strain on it. I used innertube on my RX 1000 and ZZR for years and did thousands of miles with no problems and no slop;. :beerjug:

Hitchcock Tony. £6 x 3. I tried using alloy foil as temporary shims but for £6 each, I dived into the old moth breeding station!

Yes, I have considered that as I have used that wheeze in the past but, I seem to be bereft of old motorcycle innertubes at the moment

Do it John, I’ve only had a short ride so far but I’m very impressed, particularly with the suspension.

Blimey Pete, I didn’t know you were selling the RT. When did you decide to do that

Since last year really, Andy. I've used it very little in the last couple of years. As I said in the ad, it's not getting any lighter and I'm not getting any younger.

It was collected today and I took the new owner, Kev, down to the A7 at Selkirk via some belting border roads. He's well pleased with the bike. : thumb2

So it's the Himmy and the airhead GS from now on... *Raised eyebrows from her indoors*
