So you like motorcycles and fishing? This is the place to be. Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends! From the Mighty, 6 cylinder, Honda CBX1000 to the tranquil setting of beautiful rural Northern Ireland, you'll find something to tickle your fancy within my videos.
I started pike flyfishing around 20yrs ago and had great sport. I never caught any monsters but plenty of fish up to 10lbs. Unfortunately, over the years the catches dropped off to the point where I just don't bother any more. Give it a throw and let me know how you get on.
Where to start? Probably the best thing to do is to join the CBX Enthusiasts club. You'll find them on Facebook. Nigel Sadler is the main man and a good friend of mine. It's only £12 to join and there's frequently bikes coming up for sale within the club. Hope this helps.
@@AlistairCampbell1047cc I'm at a total loss as to why mine's so troublesome... OK within a few days, but leave it several weeks and it's a different matter.
@mick998r , at the moment it seems unlikely. I was out a couple of times on it and it's flying. It was only when I got home I discovered that there's no MOT on it. Therefore I'll probably just SORN it for the winter and start afresh next year. Good to hear from you again.
Well done ,i know its an older vid, the good old Rimfly strikes again , ive got a few of them , great to see you put it back, top man .All the best , David.
I've a 92 bike and did a carb clean. Refitting, I put the front bank in position fully,the rear bank, I'd the rubbers separately from carb and head,all surfaces smeared in vaseline,heated the rubbers and all sitting in place loosely,a real good hard push down and straight on with no issues.Cleaning them was the cure.Bike laid up for 12 years and float bowls full of what looked like brown sugar.All I had to clean them was a toothbrush,an air line and a can of carb spray but it worked and the bike runs great now.Going for MOT soon after 14 years off the road( it lay in my shed a further 2 years). Your bike looks like a good example. I've a very early cbr600 that's a low mileage bike almost as clean as your vfr
Thanks for commenting and watching. Yeah, if I had to do it again I'd definitely employ the services of a heat gun and vaseline, hopefully I won't have to take them off again. I was out on her about two weeks ago and it's running like new!
Another great Vid Al, everyone made the best of our 'unpredictable ' weather, quick question near the end the vid you filmed 2 6's in a trailer rego number OIJ237, who owns that one. My reason for asking it has the original Holywood Motorcycle Centre Number plate that's where Roy and I worked of course before heading down under, Roy thinks it might have been one Kevin McClintocks collection, Cheers mate ( I'm still trying to master my drone and will get some footage up asap ( excuse the pun lol )
Hi Brian. Those bikes belong to a friend of mine, Michael McBride. He used to own NIJ 413, the CB900FA that you and Roy sold to me many years ago. I think he got the CBX up around Dromara about 10yrs ago. That's the first Droning I've done in ages and it kinda shows, but you can always make it look better with a bit of careful editing.
Excellent summary of what was clearly a fantastic weekend by all and celebrating one of Honda's most iconic machines ever to grace our roads. Also great to see many representatives from mainland Europe supporting the event. Thanks for the upload.
There's some knowledge about the CBX in that car park over the weekend,, brilliant stuff everyone seems to have enjoyed it ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from Belfast,, great video
if u remove the idle mix screw it helps if the orientation is vertical so gravity helps keep spring, washer and o-ring together. far too many ppl think its necessary to spend hours taking every single piece off a set of carbs for cleaning, when in very many cases, just clearing out clogged idle jets in about 15 minutes is sufficent to restore proper running to our vfrs. seems like youre a relative novice at this task, so may be too soon to begin lecturing. choke plungers can be lubed w/o fussing around, just pop the rubber end cover up and shoot in some oil or spray lube, ez.
Michael Rutter full length of the start finish straight on the back wheel with hir RCV brilliant stuff,,,not the tussle with McWilliams like last year,, it was fantastic,,,, from Belfast ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Great video. Just subscribed. Fabulous RC30 you have there. The dream of every true biker of a certain age! Mind you, I could have cried when I seen the dark clouds. The bike didn't fair too badly given the shower, but I'm sure an hour or two's spit and polish had her back to showroom condition. Great clips of the day and thanks for the upload. Take care for now.
Woah the 0 mile C90 I wonder if they have disconnect the speedo so just pushing it around doesnt end up putting a whole mile on it. and you seem to be on a VFR!!! the 400 is one of my dream bikes.
Thanks Ross. If your Six is as clean as your race bikes we definitely might have a challenge for William. Are you aware of the CBX Euro Rally at Ballinamallard F.C. coming soon? Have a look at the link. We'd love to see you. ukcbxclub.com/euro-rallr-2024
@@stephengahan5624 thanks for watching and commenting. To be honest, I kinda buggered off early trying to avoid the rain. There was a lot more to see and record, given time.
Hi Alistair a another entertaining vlog Good to see the rc30 out sadly I don't have my vfr 750f rc24 anymore as it was stolen about a month ago and sadly to badly damaged so it was written off so bought myself a cheap 125 to get out on and still enjoy my riding 😊
Those poxy UK number plates are without doubt, THE WORST looking number plates on this entire planet!!!! They make any motorcycle look phuqed from behind.
