Honda CB description

THIS FEATURED 1981 HONDA 650  AND IDENTICAL PARTS BIKE WERE  ACQUIRED A FEW YEARS AGO AND WAS INTENDED TO BE MY RETIREMENT PROJECT.  NOT KNOWING THAT MOTOR WAS SEIZED WHEN I PURCHASED IT,  I WAS PERSUADED TO REBUILD THE TOP END BY A BIKE MECHANIC FROM HELL.... AFTER 2000 MILES THE ENGINE LOST COMPRESSION IN ALL 4 CYLS.  IT TURNED OUT THAT MECHANIC FROM HELL NEVER REPLACED PARTS THAT HE CHARGED ME FOR.  HE BLAMED THAT ON HIS FORMER MECHANIC AND AGREED TO REPAIR IT CORRECTLY.   HE SKIPPED TOWN LEAVING THE TOP END DISASSEMBLED.    IN THE MEANTIME, I PURCHASED NEW MAC TURNOUT EXHAUST ($400), POLISHED ENGINE CASES AND VALVE COVERS , BRAND NEW TIRES WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THEM ($300), AND AN IDENTICAL 81 CB PARTS BIKE WITH FRONT FORK DAMAGE WHICH I SUSPECT HAS A SEIZED MOTOR.  EXTRA PARTS NOT SHOWN ARE NICE CAFE WINDSHIELD,   4 TO 1 EXHAUST WITH RUST AND SMALL HOLE ON BOTTOM.  I HAVE NORTH OF $3000 INVESTED AND MY HEALTH AND PATIENCE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO CONTINUE WITH THIS PROJECT.... THOUGH IT IS A GREAT DEAL FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THE CB CLASSICS... THERE IS MUCH POTENTIAL WITH THESE TWO BIKES....REBUILD TOP END ON ONE AND HAVE A SPARE FOR PARTS OR RESTORE BOTH..   I HAVE BOTH CLEAR TITLES.  FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT 989 287 2004 (STEVE).  THANKS FOR LOOKING.

Is this Honda's inspiration for mass-centralisation

SORRY TO keep carpin’ on about porcelain bathroom products but this beauty, I think, is of great motorcycling significance. Feast on its elegant lines and classical, elegant beauty. Combining an integral hand basin (with a nifty electrically operated water pump in the cistern lid) this john not only provides ingenious space saving design techniques but also serves as a timely reminder to wash your hands once you’ve pointed Percy at the porcelain.

2013 Honda CB500F, CB500X and CBR500R Recalled in Australia

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

Honda has recalled its 2013 CB500F, CB500X and CBR500R models in Australia because of a defect that could cause an oil leak. At the moment, no recall has been announced for the U.S., though there is a good possibility one will be announced shortly, as all 500-series models are manufactured in the same Honda factory in Thailand. There is a similar recall for the Japanese market for the CB400F, CB400X and CBR400R, which are mechanically identical to Honda’s 500-series models, but with a smaller engine to meet the country’s tiered licensing requirements.  According to the Australian and Japanese recall notices, the rocker arm shaft sealing bolt may come loose, causing oil to leak from the engine.

Dan Gurney’s Two-wheeled Terror at IMS

Tue, 09 Dec 2008

When the Gurney Alligator A6 made its debut in 2002, the world saw a glimpse of a new concept in sport motorcycles. Long, low, quick and efficient like its namesake, the ’Gator was like nothing we’d seen before. The bike was the brainchild of Dan Gurney, the legendary F1 and Le Mans winning driver and championship-winning sports car builder.
