Got a ride my 400 today, after a 3 1/2 years restoration and 22years in boxes and bags …it was lots fun and I only rode half a mile!!!!
Thanks to all the people on the other side of the pond for helping me out with parts and other things……. Now I just need a MoT and plod can’t nick me.

Great job and congrats!

Well done! You must be really pleased with it - it's great looking bike. I don't know why but I like that blue colour best on the 400s.

Those wheels are not stock it was a cheap fix until I have new spokes and rims put on the bike; but I do like them, made by A-R-E in England and are direct replacements, Got them off ebay from a shop in Mansfield.

I'd keep 'em. Makes the bike stand out and be a bit different. Easier to maintain, too.

malcolmgb · « **Reply #18 on:** September 12, 2006, 04:22:22 PM »

nice one Dave.

I arrive back in the UK on Saturday and will be going for my first proper ride on mine on Sunday, I taxed it on the 1st Sept and flew to the US on the 3rd, didn't dare risk riding before we left.
If you want a home for those non-standard wheels after they would look good next to my non-standard exhaust

Nice job on the 400 biffta and I agree, the wheels look good where they are. If you do up the spoke wheels, I'd keep them on the side for originality.

Later on, Bill

Mick, I’ll be up at the barn now and then, if you see my bike look out for me, I won’t be too far away from it, you’ll probably hear me before you see me.

Mal, hope your enjoying your hols, you have first refusal on my alloy wheels once I have my old spoked wheels done, I have to get some bloke in Sam’s town to do the work on them he’s 80 odd but comes well recommended from the guy who tested my bike, he had a beautiful 650 BSA but never stopped asking about my 400, it took over 2 hrs to get my MoT! And then 40 min’s to put petrol in the tank, the guy at the next pump he’d had had 4 400’s and we got talking. I’ve spent more time talking with people than riding I’ve now done 15 miles but was out on the bike all afternoon!

Sam, I’ll sort a date out to come over and have a few beers with you, I‘ll get a bit of confidence on the bike before I attempt a ride on the M 57/ 62 it was a mad on Queens Drive yesterday on my way to the test!

Cheers

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #24 on:** September 13, 2006, 01:42:40 PM »

Hi Dave, I'll PM my mobile number to you.

Perhaps Malc will come up if we set a date, I have two spare beds.

The old guy doing your wheels is named Billy Broardhurst.
Allthough he is only a one man band and getting on a bit, he is the best around.
Every time Chris or myself race, our lives are in his most capable hands.

Sam.
