Title: I have arrived
Post by: Damien.wrl on August 28, 2020, 10:13:29 PM
Another addition to the fleet ,not the fastest, prettiest or  "uncommon" st of machines, probably number something like  689,782,456 of the 100,000,000  built but it is a bit special.
Usually  seen carrying a large pig, a fridge five kids and a wife in a burka... those accessories will be later on but for now I have recently acquired a nearly 8hp F reg 1988 Honda C90(G) with 2397 miles ...
It’s been  in two collections in its life and I am beginning to think it should be in a museum (like me)
Stripping it down to clean it has been a pleasure , not a lot to do , engine alloy needs some tlc and elbow grease but when it’s done it will join the fleet as a sunny day potterer....
oh and registered within a month of the Mk2

So it’s all be cleaned and have been bumbling around the town on sunny days , got up to 40mph which was not a comfortable experience... stuck it in the lounge just to let her know who is boss.. it didn’t stay long because I am a considerate bloke and didn’t want her sad...

Damn!
Sorry to hear this, even more sorry to hear you're thinking about another bike.
How about another classic car instead, you like cleaning them!
