Honda CL description
This is a solid very low mileage 1966 honda CL160 in excellent condition considering it's age. Has clean IL. title. 1966 and maybe 1967 were the only true CL 160's made. They came from factory with skid plate and no blinkers or electric starter. After that the CB 160's were converted to CL's with a kit by the dealer. It was sitting in my friends basement for the last 20 years and he wanted to sell it for $500. I took it and tore it apart completely except for the bottom end (which appears as new and no slop). The frame, swing arm, chain guard, triple clamps etc were sandblasted and then painted black followed by clear coat. The brakes were cleaned and appear near new. Wheel bearings and seals were replaced. Forks were disassembled, cleaned, and new seals and oil put in. New battery, tubes and tires. Fuel tank was sealed with red tank sealer inside and the outside sanded and painted Honda silver with several coats and clear coats. Side covers and fenders painted same way. Engine would not turn due to piston rings being glued (dried fuel like old varnish) to the cylinders. When I got the pistons out they appeared to have very little wear (I have them for inspection) and were well within specs. The rings were glued into the piston grooves and could not be removed without damaging pistons a bit. So I replaced the pistons and rings with standard size OEM parts, which were also well within specs in the freshly honed cylinders. The bike started 1st kick and runs quiet and smooth. Compression is 130 psi on both sides. Head and tail/brake lights work as should. Speedometer/odometer works and reads about 6500 miles. This is not a show bike, but a strong, very decent looking daily runner bike. Should get around 100mpg and be reliable. It is a very cool looking alternative to a scooter or other newer small bike. There is no need for electric starter as it can be kick started by a child. All parts are correct for this bike except for air filters, which are after market buds, not the OEM paper monsters that cost a few hundred dollars. I have over $1000 in parts plus many hours of loving work into this bike. I have 13 modern bikes and do all my own work. When they are all maintained I get the itch to fix up another. This is a hobby for me and I do not plan to make any profits. I am hoping to get $1500-2000 out of this bike to pay my friend the $500 plus the money I put into it. Good luck bidding.

Bahrain track days
Tue, 17 Dec 2013A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain. After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC). Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar. Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs. Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race. The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business. The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures. As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day. Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing. All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter. I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda. Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.
A postcard from Moto GP Jerez
Fri, 04 May 2012If the weather over the Jerez Moto GP weekend was dull then the atmosphere in the press room was the complete opposite. After the carnage and chaos during the Moto 3 race, the amazing Romano Fenati (in only his second GP) had the Italian journalists celebrating as he crossed the line to win. I smiled as they simultaneously began singing ‘Y Viva Espana’ as if to signify the end of Spanish dominance in the junior GP class.
Tire Life At The Isle Of Man + Video
Wed, 27 Aug 2014If you’re like us, you never get enough Isle of Man videos. While the men and machines that fly around the course are nothing short of mesmerizing, let’s take a moment and talk about a crucial aspect of any race: the tires. In this Honda-supplied video, Dunlop technicians, along with 21-time TT winner, John McGuiness, talk about the challenges the Isle throws at tires.
