  2. I do remember Keith fairly well, although I was never fortunate enough to meet him face to face, but I bought some hand guards from him fairly early on in my tenure of NC ownership and presence on this forum. Somewhere I still have the letter he sent me with the handguards, I still have those too, they were on my NC'X for some time until replaced with some more protective guards that are in place now. RIP 'Denton Lad'.

  3. @Defender he sent me tyre decals that I never got round to fitting to the NC. It took me several years after his passing to be able to part with them even after the bike had long gone. a generous guy, full of friendly chat and so knowledgeable on the mechanics.

  4. Just stood in front of computer moaning to myself about bad pain so feekin annoying -- then I started looking trough some pics -- and then felt selfish for complaining !!!!! Remember Keith - Yes I do he rode across to Preston Del Sol probably once a month from other side of Manchester to go out for ride around The Trough of Bowland with me-- lets just see how many members remember him ?

  5. Hi my engine temperature light came on whilst I was doing some slow riding training (tight circles figure of eights). It went out as soon as I pulled away. It was a sunny day at 15 degrees Celsius. The fan works and there is water in the expansion bottle. I've never noticed it before, had any else had this happen ? . Thanks.

  6. Forget the expansion tank is there water in the radiator? Thats the most likely cause of an engine temp warning.

  7. Not on an NC, but slow riding will really test an engine. I had overheating issues with a FJR doing a slow riding course but these never recurred in normal riding. I wouldn't worry.

  8. That was a beast of a weekend! Seeing you lot struggling to keep upright over the pass was scary. I just wish I had been on two wheels as well. Andy was a top bloke and as hard as nails. As for Keith, he was also. I spent a few days up there with him providing a guided tour, with a running commentary of interesting facts via comms, round some of the hidden parts of the Peak District and he knew where all the butty wagons were too. Tea and a Kitkat at each one. ๐Ÿ˜†

  9. It is of course sad that we must eventually head off to pastures new, which is why Iโ€™ve been determined to kick the a**e out of it for as long as I can and enjoy the company of good people. A key reason why Iโ€™m on here. ๐Ÿ˜ Of those that have left already I have many happy memories. ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. I'm afraid a lot of us are of an age that we go to more funerals than weddings, including, eventually, our own (funeral that is, not wedding)

  13. Yes I remember Keith. Met up with him at the Ponderosa in 2015 (OMG thats 9 years ago!) with SusieBe, Lloyd and a couple of others. Got a speeding ticket on the way though :-( All round good egg.

  15. Certainly do, great bloke. Need to pop up into to the Peaks and have a butty in his honour. Andy

  16. Indeed I do, along with a good few others. Itโ€™s in his memory we have the get together in the Peak District most years. He was a good lad Keith, and still missed

  17. Welcome to the forum. Don't. Noise makers are anti-social and the NC sounds like a washing machine regardless. There is no more power to release, Honda designed it to run like a Diesel, efficient but charmless. If you want more go and a more traditional sound the only effective way is another bike. Andy

  18. Thanks for all of the feedback. I have been dealing with both dealer and Honda UK, oh and the AA. It's a long story, but the bike broke down in the rain. Honda sent the AA to recover it to the Dealership. There it sat for 29 days waiting for a spare part. When I collected it, I found the frame was damaged where a tie down strap had been used, it was also scratched in a couple of places. It was whilst I was inspecting it for other damage that I noticed the rust on the exhaust. The Dealer inspected the bike and sent a report to Honda UK, essentially saying scratches were down to the AA a
