As a convict from the Colonies I recon you've photo shopped in that blue sky.

Is that a 1980 Gold wing in the back ?

Good spot. It's a 1983, bought as an Interstate which I am in the process of restoring and converting to a naked. Not too far off really, have the wheels to finish painting, fit new wheel bearings & tyres then fit the rebuilt brake calipers and bleed. Only negative is that whilst the engine ran sweet, last time I fired it up one of the carbs over-flowed, hence I suspect I will need to remove, clean and rebuild them before running again.Houtman_imp said:
Of course, the second major problem is that after doing the K10 conversion I now have the hots to fit GL1000 chrome mudguards, wire wheels, dummy tank and side panels. That might have to be phase 2.

I kid you not, that sky was real. The sun was so bright I had to wear shades.
Oh yea of little faith...

Pleased to report that the K10 survived the winter lay-up and in true Honda style fired up first time on the key. To celebrate (whilst still in lock-down) I took it on a 15 mile round trip Saturday commute to work. Still love it.
Make note to self:
Buy some over-trousers to go with the Bellstaff jacket & body warmer - the sun might be shining, but it's still cold out in the UK in March!

Lovely bike that Ninemeister, stunning. I went out yesterday and wore some cotton joggers under my (bike) jeans, just took the edge off a bit. At least it was dry with little to no salt anywhere :celebrate:

Nice to see that you are still with us Barry , We hope to come to England this year as last year was cancelled due to Covid , England has to be fully open before we come as we want visit places and not just family.Bazbro_imp said:

Yup! Still here, John.
The UK is well on the way to normality, with about half the population either vaccinated or part-vaccinated, and vaccinating now at a rate of one million doses given a DAY! Sadly, I think Europe will be some way behind us, if you were thinking of visiting there too?
Keep in touch regarding your plans, though as the Beemer's now gone, a meet won't be on a 'bike!

Thanks Barry. Hopefully some of the BMW funds will find there way to a little Indian guy who can make you a K10 alloy tank?Bazbro_imp said:
Cheers. At 4 degrees C and 60mph, I can confidently report that it's definitely cold on the legs, even if you do layer up.Jfro5687_imp said:
Thanks Peter. I'm now working on finishing my GL1100 project and have decided to paint it Candy Blue Green, the CB750 K0 colour. This is a true candy, in that it is a translucent paint laid over a silver base coat, so the number of layers affects the density of the colour. I'm looking for more green, so my painter Mike has just laid down a quick sample on a thinners tin so I can take it home and compare to the K10 turquoise. I believe it is the colour that Whitehouse painted one of their K10's on the website. Would also look great on a stock CB1100...?peterbaron_imp said:Nice shot 9m....

Why thank you. I'll take on amongst the cars next time, you'll like them as well.GoldOxide_imp said:

Thank you boys, high praise indeed. Occasionally there are times in your life when you drop lucky AND you act on the impulse. I am so glad that the K10 was one of those events.The ferret_imp said:
