Saw this at a REOC meet a few years ago.

There were some right howlers at Diamond Day at the Ace Cafe yesterday.
But also some very tidy little bikes.
I'm very fond of the NCC, if you are looking for some funky/cool bikes, they are almost always guaranteed to give you something to look at.

I saw one of only 25 CCM 400s last week, at Seaways. It's a small 400 single, in a kind of classic British naked cafe racing style - I wish I could remember the model designation. It has a Suzuki DRZ engine in it and weighs about 140kg. Crazy light.

Spotted this Sanglas 500 over the Christmas / New Year period - well, I say spotted, I didn't pay it any attention whatsoever but the owner came over to talk to me about the complexity of the Royal Enfield EFI, and whether I thought it possible to graft it onto his bike. I had no idea, but said that a lot of the EFI guys got rid of their EFI and bought AMAL Carbs so, you should be able to get the parts easy enough. That was the limit of my knowledge on such matters.

He'd had it donkeys, and having rebuilt it at least a small handful of times, apparently had 'sorted all of its issues'. It didn't look like it, to me, but he used it daily in all weathers so it must have been alright Laughing
