I Took my H1F for its first outing on uk roads since just coming over from the USA.
It has took the DVLA about 7 weeks to finally give me the uk number :shock: but it was well worth the wait
It was a nice sunny day here in fife and the bike went well I am happy to say ,it has been 30 years since I had my last H1F
And I did wonder if it would still be as exciting as it was all those years ago after having been used to modern bikes
Easy answer absolutely yes yes yes :D absolutely loved every minute but did find the brakes or should I say lack of them a bit scary but I guess adds to the excitement :D anyway I just thought I would share my excitement of again owning an H1F again and also being back in the club.Cheers guys and hope your day went as well as mine :D :D

You certainly have to readjust your braking distances :lol:
I have z650 twin discs and calipers on mine and they work quite well.

I think Malc has a good point the pads have probably hardened with age :shock: I have ordered a new set of pads hopefully that will help for now,But I intend to convert to twin disc set up later on cheers for the photo Tony looks great Thumbs Up
