Took a ride to Auburn this morning.
This is an old travel mechanical rodeo puppet show, was sponsored by Levi, notice license plate (1939). Located in Newcastle, old Lincoln highway.

Hi everybody.
This will be my first post in the forum, but certainly not the last :)
Im a cb400f owner from Denmark, and have owned hree 400 fours, and a total of 14 bikes + one old renault 4tl

This is the first one on a trip from Denmark to Calais -> Dover and back, in 2008. It was later totally engine renovated.
On the way to France with stops in Arnhem and Belgium (Here near Flensburg, Germany):

In southern England at a WWII museum:


Second Four at the ferry to the island of Funen from the island of Als here in Denmark:


The newest an present Four sadly not a roadpicture but I really want to show it :)
New Avon shoes, renovated master cylinder and only a "tiny" headgasket leak:


14 bikes owned of those three 400F's. Now driving: '76 CB400F and a '83 Renault 4TL.
Danish Nuthead!

That was also a nice one :) Especially after fitting a pattern 4i1 from davidsilver :)
But then I wanted to try something else, until now when a 400 is again in the garage

Led a group of 22 bikes out to the ferry at Cumberland City, TN this past weekend for PseudoMoto's inaugural Spring Dust Off ride. ~200 miles r/t. Here's my 750F at Barista Parlor in East Nashville.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

Interesting. Any pics from riding the Transfăgărășan? I have never been there, but consider checking this road out. Thoughts?

Yes..i have taken last year a 3.000 km tour through Romania lonely roads and i also visited the Transfagarasan.
This is a link for my facebook album Romanian Tour:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.796512417094703.1073741829.100002078578992&type=1&l=b325e4f6de
This was my route: http://www.mopedmap.net/en/route/2755273-traseu-moto-10-zile/

Is a beautiful road, beautiful views but quite dangerous. In the summer, especially during august weekends, there are a lot of tourists and cars, so the most suitablae time to visit in during the work days (monday-firday) from june to september. More details about Transfagarasan in englis tou can find here http://www.romanianmonasteries.org/romania/fagaras-mountains

The is also another beautifull corss mountains road nera Trasnfagaras, called Transalpina. Is more dangerous than Tranfagarasan. more details in english here: http://www.agerpres.ro/english/2014/03/02/everything-about-transalpina-12-29-26

But there are a lot more great roads in Romania also:
- TransBucegi: http://transbucegi.ro/
- TransRararu: http://www.transraraul.ro/
- Cheia-Siriu
- Cazanele Dunarii
and others more...

I have been lurking on this forum for a while now. Thank you all for keeping such a treasure trove of information. This picture is from one of my last rides last year. Just a quick jaunt to North West River Park here in VA. This winter I have been getting her ready to handle rides to the OBX and George Washington National forest, maybe even a ride up route 60 through Hawk's Nest in WV. Where ever she takes me you will get pictures! 1979 CB650 with 28k on the odometer when I got her.
