That’s a CL72 mid sixties Honda. Imported from US restored and owned by a mate of mine.

In the first pic - the white bike, top lhs, is that a version of the Honda 175/250 twin in some sort of street scrambler guise? Looks really interesting and if it is a Honda, I think that's the first one I've seen.

Found a better picture on their FB page and a 350 that was also there.

There are more pictures if you scroll down the posts.

If you look in the Old Bike Mart paper, there's usually a few of these Hondas for sale.

Thanks for that info, what fabulous little bikes to be running around on.

Plan to go to this again tomorrow.

Weather forecast shows cloudy with risk of rain later in the afternoon.

Good turn out today and it stayed dry (for me).

Nice to see a Brough on the road.

Glynn's BSA Rocket 3 with panniers.

I took the R1200C.

Sorry not to make this - had hoped to go but events, as ever, intervened!

Hopefully see you there again next month Richard.

There were more BMW's today than I have seen before.

Very nice; would that be a 17"front rim on the BM by any chance?

Hi Snelly

The front spoked rim on the R1200C is 18 inch. The later alloy wheel was 16 inch.

The rear is 15 inch.

Matlock Classic meet is on again this Wednesday Lunch time.

Why midweek? Everyone is at work keeping the economy going, or paying for the pensions of those that can go!

Jolly good job they are!

The weather is looking good, hope to make it a pensioners outing but will use the GS not my bus pass.

Is it tomorrow (Wednesday 7th) that the December meet is on. ?
