Ahhh... the good old Plastic Maggot. Either loved or reviled, but a good example of Honda doing it 'their way'. I hope you enjoy it.

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

First motorbike I ever rode on was one of these!  Scared the shit out of me.  :Topes
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Two choices:-

Wear that raggy old suit of yours (treat yourself please) sling a bag over your shoulder and blend in at a London couriers reunion  :icon_mrgreen:

I have a 1/4 fairing and clip ons that I'm not going to use anymore  :bad

That raggy old suit keeps the Costa Coffee warriors quiet.  Gives the impression I've done a bit, although to be fair, it's done close on 80,000 miles and is still waterproof.

1/4 fairing?  Hmmmmm.......

Haven't decided what to do with it yet Chris, first I'll get it MOT'd  because I've never had a V twin so want to thrum around on it for a bit.  It might make a good "just popping to the shops..." runner as it's a bit lighter and easier to get in and out of my garage than the others.  It might just get shoved to the back of the garage with a cover over it until it appreciates a bit. Good ones are already sort-after.  Or I might do the cafĂ© racer project when I eventually get time.  I really haven't made up my mind.  Oh,b and the cost of the recent service and new tyres cost nearly as much as I paid for it  :icon_wink:

If you can have a look at the August picture on The Carole Nash Custom Bike Calendar it should give you some inspiration. ......Not as much as the August picture on The Pirelli Calendar.
It\'s ok , this will only take 5 minutes.
