And recommended Bike books
(can be Autobiographies, Journeys, Racing books, technical manuals, or fictional, AKA as Haynes manuals.. ;D ;D )
http://growell.proboards49.com/index.cgi....hread=59&page=1

The choice of decent bike material out there is so small, that every recommendation matters.
______________________________________________

Some members questions are purely technical, but some require a bit more thought and input from the members.

Here is one that seemed a bit odd to me at first,
but now makes perfect sense
it's asking about how you use your bike.... ;)
http://growell.proboards49.com/index.cgi?board=owners&action=display&thread=665

This one is a bit more memory lane / Bike Reviews.
"Q.What was your first bike... :)

______________________________________________

As you just got here, why not try this one.
"How did you find us?"
http://growell.proboards49.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=601
______________________________________________

Or how about this one.
"Pics of day out"
http://growell.proboards49.com/index.cgi....read=413&page=1
Sure, Now You got a bike, So you go for a ride, Then you take a pic.
No big deal, But you can't just post that pic, can you?
The journey was not Epic enough..... ::)

But you still want to share that pic with someone, thats why you took it, right?

So Share it with US.. ;D We want to see it.

Of course IF You just Crossed the alps.................. In WINTER :o :o 8-)

Then That deserves a thread of its own.
That Journey has EARNED the right to have its own thread 8-)

But a thread like that will leave us mere mortals all asking,
how, why, where,
and we will want to see LOTS of PICS...
I really mean LOTS of Pics................ ;D ;D

But you didnt, did you ::)
Just like most of us, You Just went for a spin after work or at the weekend and took a few pics.... :-/
..............and who wants to see those pics.... ???

Well we DO ;),
remember You took those pics for US.
Just so we could look at far flung locations (In the Uk probably) and add them to our list of 'Do-Able' Rides............ 8-)
So pop those little suckers in here.
we LOVE Em... 8-)
______________________________________________

So now we have given you a few choices,
Post away when your ready.. ;)
______________________________________________

Perhaps your still unsure about joining, well let me ask you this :
Q. Have you got an NTV/Revere? OR are you THINKING about getting an NTV/Revere?

Hello, my name is Coggy
I bought a Deauville as my first big bike after passing DAS, in 2004
I've now done 11000 miles on it
Discovered your forum by accident when trying to buy a new battery for my baby-internet battery sites were offering me 9Ah batteries, and the one I took out of the bike was 14Ah
Bought one from the Honda garage eventually
;D

Hi coggy

Welcome to site... ;)

Group are friendly so post away

feel free to wander around site.
Why not post a pic and pin in on 'Map'?

Got to say most bikes on here are NTV Pre deauvile,
So there will be a little bit of banter...
(we are probably just jealous, yours is newer... ;D )
but their all Honda NTVs.......... 8-)

So once again welcome... :)

Enjoy &
Ride safe

Hello, I'm hoonose (said in a "i'm sparticus" type voice), from liverpool, keen to meet up if there is beer involved ;)

I moved from a trusty cx 500 to a brief flirt with a bandit and then got wooed by the practical simplicity of an ntv via a buxom blond named deauville. felt like driving a car too much so went all naked and was revered. just an ntv shafty lover now...

i drink beer, smoke cigarettes and have a bath regular (once a month whether i need it or not...)

Hi everyone
looks as though you kept this site a well guarded secret; I've looked for ages for some quality info on my NTV and now it looks as though I've found it - hurrah!
I've got two NTVs, one of which I'm riding, the other is in many parts in the loft of my garage awaiting time and the chancellor (aka wife) to release the necessary funds.
The one I'm riding is '97 with circa 65k mile experience of the road. I've owned it for 18 months having bought a near write off and restored to good mechanical order and acceptable cosmetic condition (It looks OK, but not "nearly new") This winter I'll be focussing on mechanics for the second bike and cosmetic for them both. I'll be selling one of them in spring in order to make room, time and money to start on the two beemers I started with.

My trials with the NTV have been interesting. I've found it generally straightforward to work on, but curse every time I have to strip 3 zillion things off the bike to get at the bit I want to work on. Recently I've been trying to sort out an overheating/over boiling problem which initially was a crack in the thermostat housing (the plastic part that the pressure cap fits into) - anyone who has replaced this knows what has to come out in order to complete the job.

I've seen a few comments about problems jumping out of gear. I have not yet had chance to follow any threads to conclusion, but expect to do so soon as I occasionally experience this in first.

I'm using it for a 25 mile round trip commute most days but did have my first serious (solo) venture with over 400 miles to Scotland. It beheaved itself perfectly well cruising at unmentionable speeds, returning over 60mpg.

Anyway, that's enough for today; I look forward to reading and posting more and will join the club properly with a photo when I'm able.

Hi Pugs, :)

Welcome to the forum, keep on posting.....

The trike sounds interesting. Is it a Harley trike or something you've built yourself?

Cheers,

Jake.
