@skuuter picture!!!!   

Yeah, them were well past their prime

Happy Easter from a happy, dino juice drinking Honda!!! 

Will reside here in May with the Aermacchi/Gilera club.

Prepped the VF for a ride to Luxemburg tomorrow, back on Monday.

Prep as in: put fuel in 

Picked up a NOS seat for the Cagiva and painted the rack and exhaust.

Yeah, that looks much better....

Add 2 horsepowerrrrrr

Black is beautiful

In Flanders and Ukrainian fields..... 😢

In Flanders Fields

By John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

Ok my dear VFRD friends.....

The time has come....

For a man of my age.....

To bite the bullit...

And "get a Harley"....

FOOLED YA!!!!!!  

Handtight + a quarter turn.

But they still tend to stick. And when u know a neighbour has this tool in his shed..... 

"The other woman" got some love today

Inspected bush, euh brushes while I was down there... 

All good 

Got her home last night

Emptied the fuel tank  

Aye, the tank needs a good clean

And the hoops need replacing for sure

MBD keeps kicking in....

Literally kicking....

And that is 6....

€5 tombola ticket!

Do Shoeis come with a bottle of Talisker now?!? Cause if they are, I'M GETTING A SHOEI!!!! 😉 

 

No.

But if you buy a factory Ducati GP bike you might... 😉

....Reverse trike similar to a Slingshot or a T Rex. Custom built using a Honda VFR 800 sport bike. Constructed with tubular steel frame and fiberglass over foam. Front suspension is custom designed air with a onboard compressor and nickel platted. Dash and console is made of solid walnut. Very quick and handles like it is on rails.....

"down but not out" 

Yes @douglasthecook, that is part of the US Army kit you gave me on Dutch soil 

The MV fired right up after the winter break.

But......

The seal behind the generator is now leaking.... 😞

And the parts book? Sure it lists it, as "gasket". But with no dimensions 

The "good thing" is that while tracing the leak, I spotted a chafed wire...

Just In Time I'd say.....

NOS stock Italian made pipes, languished on a shop's shelf in Finland, now in the Netherlands.

With thanks to @keny

complete with clamps and gaskets 🙂

With my Arai helmets 5+ years old now and the graphics no great match with the 1975 MV, i got me a "proper" lid 

Feeling blue is not all bad....
