Very nice Andy, that causeway looks inviting and deserted. Not that I would, but can you turn it loose there?
No there was a parking lot at the end and people walking on it. However the 3-mile straight road on Rt88S to get there was a fun place to open it up

Isn't it amazing what people buy into lock stock and barrel? Most don't know how cranberries are grown.

Don’t worry I’ve been living here long enough to know how cranberries are growing - I was just appreciating Prokop’s sense of humour

Good morning from Germany,
now it ist 1 year ago when I brought my smoking cb 400 for to a specialist for old Hondas.
I told him, you have time for a good work. I have 3 more bikes for driving.
What was wrong with my lovely bike?
2 bores where out of parallel 1/10 mm!
Some Valve guides where loose in the head.
Also there was a mixture of piston rings.
Now I have a new restored Zylinder, with original Pistons an rings, A full restored Head with all new Components.
The Bike runs great now, without blue smoke.
I am trying to make Kilometer for testing the restoration.
Until now I have done 400 Km and everything is fine.
hopefully it will stay.
Best regards and nice weekend
Rudi

Very nice Rudi, glad that you were able to get the issues sorted out. Amazing what some P.O.s do to these bikes.

Looks to me like it would make a nice BOTM candidate…

The bike look really good. Those pipes have tough design.
Strange that Honda designed them that good and not aftermarket.

Cool, they did a huge release last month at Roosevelt Dam in N AZ, announced before hand and it was well attended by people wanting to see it and media. Was a release into the Salt River that flows down through Phoenix.

They will have more but not likely to be as large.

California's reservoirs are filled and they are supposed to be getting a wet monsoon season or rains from El Nino, so if they don't manage it with releases they are going to have serious issues. Likely to have lots of flooding and mudslides and the like anyway along with houses sliding off hillsides and into the ocean or onto the beach as is typical of the later...

Still liking the bike without the Better? Imagine so during warmer weather...

They do something similar at Lucky Peak, although it only happens once in a blue moon.  It is called the "rooster tail" and I thought they might do it this year because of good snowpack, but no such luck.  It is semi-spectacular.  Here is what it looks like -
