Was a Hot one. Just bought a ZX9R so had a play on it. Then a couple of hours cleaning it. :)
H2C & S3 both on road but need winter work! Both now have Clutch slip!! H2C has oil leak from gear lever :? S3 from Tacho drive. Hours of fun.

Came to work on my 400 this morning. First ever ride on one of these and i am impressed beyond belief. It is a great bike with much more poke than i would have thought.

And also impressed by the turbine smoothness too after the shakes of an H2 Rog?

I still remember when I had my eye's opened to the 400's impressive performance, many many years ago. This was in the days when the rally went in mass on Sunday morning to the Superbike RWYB day at Santa Pod. After the long day at the Pod I wanted to charge home and a chap who lived fairly local at Guildford asked if he could ride back with us. He was two up with his girlfriend on a tidy green 400 and the three of us were solo, all on H2C's (Alan Smith and Dave Grist). As I didn't like to "hang around" much in those more youthful days, I rolled my eyes to myself when Dave went "yeah, no probs" and I thought "bugger it" this is really going to slow down our trip back.
Much as I tried attacking roundabouts and cracking it wide open on the exits etc, EVERY bloomin time I checked my mirros there was this green speck on my tail. I had a completely different opinion about them after that ride, by witnessing how they went rather then just hearing the bar room boasts.
