Honda SL350 description
1971 Honda SL350. Very nice, mostly original condition. 12,800 miles. Some light scratches on the tank and fenders but way too nice to repaint, no dents. Inside of tank is clean and shiny. The side covers are new and were repainted. The color match is spot on. Great handlebars, gauges and switches. As you probably know, turn signals did not come on this model and have been added. All electrical works great. New battery and updated rectifier. Original exhaust is exceptional, no rust or dents, some minor scuffs. Original seat pan was badly rusted around the rim and has been welded. The repair is under the new seat cover and can't be seen. New correct tires, chain, points, headlight, taillight, cables, tool kit. Forks and brake components have been polished and epoxy clear coated. Some minor pitting on rims. Starts, runs and shifts good. Very minor oil leak from shift shaft seal. No engine smoke, noises or issues. Wood box is handy for groceries and held on with a wing nut, no holes drilled to mount it. Clear Title. A really sweet, rider quality SL350.

Bahrain track days
Tue, 17 Dec 2013A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain. After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC). Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs. Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race. The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business. The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures. As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day. Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing. All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter. I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda. Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.
