Polish
Phil . . . . using polish??????
Next thing you know, he'll be washing his bike regularly
Great find, and good on you for giving it a new lease of life, though I can't believe your dumping the trusty Deauville for it
. That plastic pig has been good to you
A picture of you a-stride the CB500 would make a good comedy moment

No risk of me becoming the washing/polishing type just yet Steve, The Transalp still has areas of pigeon bloom from overwintering in my bro's pigeon loft from last September.
As for the fat old bus, I have developed quite a fondness for the old girl, although not done great miles on it tbh, there will be an element of sadness when (if...) the ugly thing heads to pastures new.
She was bought for a reason (well, 2 reasons) and has served me well and fulfilled the reasons for buying it equally well, the main reason (trundling over the m62/A1) is no longer there - the other reason was to take the pee out of friends that think buying the latest & greatest steed (and the associated wallet emptying capabilities....) is the only way to enjoy motorcycling, which it is very obviously not [emoji56].
I've had some absolutely brilliant reliable, depreciation free 'grand' tourers, the Deauville being one of 'em. I'm sure the little cbf will be another.
Hopefully the cbf will ease V back onto a bike - Frads funeral was the last time, she was pregnant with Toby so nearing 5 years ago now.
No comedy pics I'm afraid Steve, anyway the cbf is positively spacious compared to the NC30s or the NSR250 (shudda bloody kept that lot)
Ahhh a fellow old Honda fan. Nice one Phil. Shout if yer selling...I really miss my old cb500
Will do Tony
I always had a soft spot for the old cb500 but have never actually ridden one, designed and built right, from the days when Honda got stuff blob on.
Ssssh, don't tell anyone but I nearly went to view a Kawasaki...
