Wow perfect weather and very well attended. Well done Julie for organising it and putting on a great show and jumble. I managed to get a second place award having taken my friends Ducati 239 single. I was beaten into first place by one of our past subscribers Horsham Dave with his lovely Honda 360. I did buy another bike while I was there and picking it up on Wednesday. Not sure if any of you will guess what I have gone for. Will post picture and details when it's in my garage.

Not a smelly, oily old Velocette perchance?

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

Didn't those CB360 originally have disc front brakes?

That was my recollection too, Will.

Maybe this bike was an import from a market where the drum was standard. MZ continued to offer the front drum brake for markets that prefered them after the introduction of the disc brake on ETZ 250 - maybe Honda did too ?

The earlier "K" versions did have a TLS drum front brake - a favorite for retrofitting to drum braked MZs. As it happens, I have a part completed one on the go ATM - MZ 18" alloy rim built onto a CB250K4 hub. Wemoto sell spoke kits for the Honda for reasonable money. Got new bearings but missing the spacer, so need to measure up the hub for the length & turn one up. Then I can spin the wheel to true it up.

Apparently the base CB360 had drum front, the CB360T having a disk.

My 1975 CL 350 had a lovely looking drum brake. I sold it with 10,000 miles for 300 pounds after no one on here wanted it. As always, it was spotless condition and sold to a dealer and now travelling around bike shows. Lovely gold colour with the twin upswept silencers. SDV 43N. Sold as it was in the garage and i stubbed my toe on it. Dealer, Classic Riceburners, then sold it at 2250 the following week, Nice 6 speed box but being a small bike, not very stable in winds.The CB750 i offered here at 700 is now worth around 5000 but luckily, my boy bought it. There was also a lucky man who bought my Suzuki M1800r with 2500 miles on it. I rode it to Poole as he bought it unseen.

Good to get you back on here Dave and enjoyed your company at Ardingly even though you did beat me into second place
