Went Shopping Today

One VERY happy chappy

Poor C90 is out of place. It's now attracting good interest on eBay. (Need to top up my pension)

 

Saw one of these the other week at the local bike meet , it wasn't as clean as yours , sounded ace though

 

Lovely addition to the family mate!

 

Thanks. A lovely looker and sister to my VF1000R. I haven't ridden a two-stroke since the early 70s RDs, a Suzuki 185, and the best of all, Kawasaki's 500 Mach III. Also rode the big 'kettle' or 'water bottle' as it's sometimes called. Had access to all the good stuff because I was a bike mechanic in the days we used tools and not computers!

Thanks Mark. You can well imagine I'm preparing a comprehensive 'super' cleaning kit at the moment, and moving a couch and table in my lounge room!
Yes, after Yoshis and flapper valve exhausts I'm looking forward to this. A very distinctive sound when wound up, and like all two strokes, they have to be wound up to perform. (Unfortunately, my courier can't collect/deliver for a week. I'm even wondering about hiring a van, but it really is the expensive option for a 250-mile return trip.

Thanks tuky. I think the family is now complete. (Famous last words)

I'm actually considering a 'bikectomy'. That's one Stanley knife cut through the wallet, and another through the scrotum. Result? No money and no testosterone. Done deal. I'm a thinking that @Lozzy might volunteer to wield the knife?

 

Well done Nige, looks lovely.

 

...also, now the weather is fine, I'll be expecting a 'family' photoshoot

 

Huh? Why ask? You know I'm not one to miss a 'photo opportunity'.

I've got more photos of my bikes than Kim Kardashian's got in her modelling portfolio. And, I'd suggest mine are better!

 

That looks really really clean

Health to enjoy looking at

 

Lovely.

I used to work with a guy who had one of these in Rothmans colours when I was a kid. He managed to stick it into an island on the way to work, scared himself silly and ended up selling it for scrap.

 

Thanks for nuthin' DF. I hope it's not mine after a rebuild and fairing job!

 

Really nice that Nigel........excuse my ignorance but who's is the signature on the seat cowl??

 

THE Freddie Spencer. Previous owner took the bike to Manx GP and had Freddie sign it.

(Signature's worth 5 grand; bike's worth 500 quid)

 

For a second I thought I read Frank Spencer. Sorry just got back from work, bit tired and all that

 

Lovely bike though! A friend of mine had one many many moons ago!

 

It's okay. I'm actually making a move on Betty and taking her for a ride later on!
