Had a nice wet Day out today with the Tamworth Vintage Japanese.
13 bikes turned out for 200km ride in the rain.

A rally out in the rain you say? You are braver men than I. My bike has never seen a drop of water on her since I bought her.
But, really, a nice bunch of bikes there. And, amazingly, a CX500 in the midst. I thought that all those died long ago from embarrassment. Having owned one, I can get away with saying that. :flag_of_truce:

Never saw that red color on 'em in the States, that I recall.
I think those CX500s were underestimated. I once did a 2000kms round trip 2 up, and apart from the inevitable sore butt, she performed admirably, even on some sandy tracks. Wasn't the best handling or quickest around, but very reliable and economical.
Just my 2 cents worth.
