A Pack of old PhotographsAnd that's all it was, but it has made me really happy.



My stuff finally arrived from the USA and I was delighted to find the only photos of my little Honda CB125S 'Rusty' which I took apart, sent frame and bits to be power-coated British Standard Green, and then put him all back together again.
























There were also three photos of my Yammy XZ 550 Vision. Shaft drive, water cooled V-twin













I would accept Rusty back like a shot if he still exists, but that yammy??? One of the photos has a sign 'Danger deep water' and that's where the bloody thing should have gone! Not that it didn't start and run ok, it was the speed wobble that nearly did for me.

Lovely, thanks for showing us. I knew they weren`t of a Royal Enfield, the indicators hadn`t broken off.

Nice little Honda

The speed wobble was because the forks are on back-to-front! (What were they thinking?!)

I love those little Hondas, we had one as a "float" (bike for common use, usually when your own was broken,) among a group of us many years ago. It was unkillable and a really dependable friend. It was in a vile chocolate brown though!

REgards, Mark

+1 on the forks being fitted back to front. I guess the idea was to relocate the calipers behind the forks, but with leading axle forks that's not such a great idea methinks. I only exercise saw another XZ550; not one of Yanaha's finest. I like the little Hinda though..

Isn't your Meteor chocolate brown Mark?

That looks like Chipstead Lakes Simon hasn't changed much since you had that Yamaha
