Cost only £4.50 to fill up and will do around 90 - 100 miles on one tank. She is called Elle due to Elephant grey paint.
barkwindjammer Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Thats a cracking wee bike Sammy-if this recession gets worse there will be a lot more of those on the road
Moderator Cynic Posted July 28, 2011 Moderator Posted July 28, 2011 Reminds me of the dark ages when me and my mates were 16 all dicking around on DT's Ts's FS1e etc with big bores and whatnot thinking were the bee's wotsits. Rob bought a C50 (same thing pretty much but h#nda) Oh how we all mocked........ Till he chucked all the grandad plastics and stuffed a 90motor in it, wasn't so funny then when we got humbled by a naked chicken...... The fact that Rob possesed the self preservation of a HariKar Hairi Kar japaneese suicide pilot didn't help.
barkwindjammer Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 My first ever 'hurl' on a bike was on the little Honda, my uncle Rob had one, that bike did 283mph well as a 9yr old it felt like that, the helmet I had on was so big I could hold onto the inside of the chin bar with both hands
Sammyt80 Posted July 28, 2011 Author Posted July 28, 2011 Alot rarer than a c90 and in most ways better, would to see another one but got some looks at Matlock on Sunday and alot more nodds from big bikers, people are surprised how quick you go once in 4th
Moderator Airhead Posted July 28, 2011 Moderator Posted July 28, 2011 Looks a clean example sammy, 2 stroke with a shaft drive eh...a rare combination.
Sammyt80 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 This the 4 stroke version with shaft drive the 2 stroke had chain drive. Only abit of rust but i will get that cleaned up.

Sammyt80 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 The crazy thing wheeled on me at the traffic lights yesterday, thought I clicked it in too second but pulled off and it just revved then clutch engaged while full revs and wheelied
