We agreed that it's not an issue if I don't ride the bike I will be keeping an eye on it and will take the bike to Honda when the weather is better for any recalls.

Is yours a CB1000?

Yes. It's been kicking off on social media for months with a guestimated 70% of owners having no issues. The conversation that I had with the dealer was about the social media response as apposed to the actual problem. I have no concerns as I have confidence in Honda custom service and I may not have the problem anyway. I need to ride it to find out. I'm on a mini tour at the end of March.

Is it still 'signs of Spring'?
If it is,keep it going.

I'll see what I can do tomorrow, but I think we skipped Spring & went straight into Summer as it hit 90 deg here today.

Signs of spring:
Primroses in the planters
Crocuses under the tree in the background
Daffs on the grass verge



and my bike on the road!

Next, your bike and a clock with Roman numerals

FFS, I had a Spring-y pic...

I think more clock towers. Taller the better.

Indeed, I snost & lost

I rode past this every day and this is the first time I've actually stopped to look at it.

Next, same again, clock tower or memorial to old industrial workers, whether that's miners, fishermen or Weavers, whatever that's local and historic.

Around here it's test pilots & astronauts...

Did a search, found some old clock, worked out how to ride past during work visits;)
Also managed a dry day, no real salt, some floods and high winds to make it interesting:)
They'd even put some cones out for me to park, but getting a view of the clock was the tricky bit

Keep it going...

Are we still on the same challenge?

It's dry tomogga, I'm WFH and finish at 3pm and the wife is off for a spa day, there's a good chance I can get out on the Gold Star for a couple of hours and need a destination.

Same as Taff wrote "Next, same again, clock tower or memorial to old industrial workers, whether that's miners, fishermen or Weavers, whatever that's local and historic." should be enough for a ride out...enjoy the ride:)

It's not very far from home, but...

Next?

What about a 'swing' or in some way moving bridge (or even one that did move, but doesn't anymore)?

Or is that too niche?

I took a pic and KFB borkened my game,so here it is anyway. As you were with the niche bridge thang.

*heads for Newcastle*

(I reckon the Forfar Wheel counts as a bridge too ).
