I just want something like I had back in the day for bimbling about. I had a spiffy red CB200 with a Polaris fairing which was, to be fair, dog shit slow compared to my mates 250's so it had to go. But I have always hankered after another for mooching about on, to ride the same roads that I used to. I thought I could have been on Ch1p's with that fairing given how rare faired bikes were back then. I actually really liked my CB200 as a bike and thought it was cool, which it was after getting off a Suzuki AP50. Nostalgia is a strong pull, I often find myself riding the same route and roads home that I used to when I was a teenager. I often do those routes on my CBF and though it's a stodgy old commuter in modern terms, but it feels like the best bike ever on those routes because it is in a different league to what I rode back then. My Dream bike then was a Suzuki GS550 like a couple of mates had, in direct comparison the CBF is worlds better IMHO.

Mod to isle five please .... we got a big spillage of someone with no fucking taste

its bike of the month not twat of the month

Does anyone know how to register a phone number with multiple Indian call centers at the same time?

That my friend is a Polaris fairing. Recognise that brand by any chance.

And you said you knew already, you lying homosexual

After giving it serious thoughts over drinking whisky after dinner I have concluded you need that green Honda. It'll fill an emotional hole while being a third Honda in your fleet. A third Honda is a relevant number of Hondas, it's so because it is green and really slow and pretty. Also, since it is slow and pretty and old, from the slow side it´ll make you enjoy the rides that you share with people on classic slow bikes a lot more than you do now (because it's naturally slow) , from the green side it´ll look cool, while still providing superiority from being a Honda. Do it, Redbreast 12 says so! I name it "The Lantern"!

At the spot where the two French forces met on 12th September 1944 ( one laned in Normandy with Operation Overlord, the other in Provence with Operation Dragoon) I got there just 81 years late...

Definitely saving this pic...lol.

You won't need move, Donnie told me so.

Extremely extremely uneconomical. Gretta would have a heart attack ...

It's okay, you will be American soon.

You've said fuck all, well not that anyone can decipher what the fuck you're most of the time

Tell me i drive a tractor without telling me i drive a tractor

Also popular in Jamaica back in the day

Also used by the Police

Well on the ploughed fields you call roads you mean, I guess you have the right vehicle for those rugged furrows

I like that the only comment you responded to was that your bike was overweight. You obviously accept the rest

Just cause you don’t share Bob’s interests or mine doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with them it’s your intolerance and your problem. You ride overweight slow unreliable barges that look more like something Liberace designed than an actual motorcycle and we don’t care or comment. You do you

Think Bob's sickness has spread to the site and a few members need help...lol

fixed

Could well have been worn out, CB200's were roundly used and abused back in the day. Not really valued by anyone L platers saw them as a poor second choice and commuters used them as dirt cheap transport.

Do you think the bike was simply worn out...with the paint being faded and all...figure a 200 twin would have a little more spunk than a 185 single ?

Yes poor Dan hasn't been the same since my last ride state side...he hasn't messaged or called me since then....

Thank you for opening our eyes , your vision is almighty .......

The GS550 and the Z650 were the ' go to ' bikes in my day

Yep, now I’m feeling broken

What I was trying to say @Saul was that a mate wanted to swap bikes for a couple of days as he fancied a XL185 like mine. I couldn't believe how slow the CB was compared to my bike , I mean it had an extra cylinder compared to mine. On reflection it may have just been his bike as he wasn't one for servicing , oh and it was the same green as the one in your photo which had faded really badly.

Oh dear You are quite an eloquent drunk though

says David Bailey

He wouldn't, he think Polaris in the inside of warm winter coats!

There already is a bin in the background!

You could think that, but apparently Marcel isn't aware he's in the neighborhood.

What the hell is that thing...lol...the windscreen is taller than the roof of that house...lol.

Marcel and Buck are getting married

I believe it, his Indian is a shed.

i have windmills , trains and trees and that in the background ... and the odd mcdonalds i'll admit

Like the light not sure how the photo looks.

That only works against vampires.
