I doubt the life span of this guy is much more than 3 years if he carries on like this...... Place your bets now....
He obviously does have some talent. I'm guessing he didn't break his wrist playing tennis. I'm sorry but I think he's a fecking balloon. I just hope that when he does have his serious off that he doesn't take some innocent other with him!
Good rider but that's why bikers have bad reputation on the road! I would be a bit pissed if he came past me like that on my Daytona, mainly because I wouldn't be able to keep up with him!
I used to ride a C90 in London (from Kent) when i was an apprentice... The guy i worked with had a GPZ1100 and he could not keep up with me through traffic... the C90 is so small you could get through the smallest of gaps... but even i was not as stupid as this bloke.. like Spanky says he gives us all a bad name...
It was and is probably my best ever buy... Picked up for £25.. used for 18 months + did nothing to it... added some 20K miles to it... sold it for £20.... it was battered and bruised but it served me well. Extremly well.... Was not even running correctly when i sold it..... What a bike....
So that £5 for 18 months motoring bargain! I must admit I have had a quick look on gumtree today for one just for commuting after I read your post but then got side-tracked onto rat look lambrettas and the price went through the roof. £16 tax and 120mpg does sound tempting though!
My first bike was a C90 at the age of 12, i took the plastic leggings off, front & rear mudguards, indicators & cut the exhaust off about 6 inches from the flange. I use rag the arse off it over the woods. Man that bike was indestructible! :smile:
Flange lol sorry couldn't resist. Yeah that's what we used to do the C90 was awesome off-road! I think these sorts of memories clouded my thinking while I was on gumtree earlier, luckily I came to my senses before I bought one!
Buy one anyway, strip it to the bare essentials & take it over the woods, re-live the youth! Lol :smile:
I would be tempted but I have just got rid of the motocross bike and the trials bike I think if a scooter turned up the missus would kill me! Got one more thing to sell (big audi a8) then I'm sure she will let me increase the collection again!
Grew up on a farm and did exactly the same. Had C50s, C70s and C90s. They could take so much abuse! Always fancied getting involved in one of the Honda cub challenges where you buy an old nail of C50, set a start point and finish point at either end of the country and then RACE :biggrin: 18st on a 50cc bike......... Don't think I will win
There is a C90 endurance race... A mate bought one to do it but then did not have the time... Some of the bikes are tuned up... Think it is called chicken racing or something.. Will have to search for it now......
They had a C90 endurance race last year at Mallory Park. Apparently they have them quite often all over the country at various circuits. Im pretty sure the events are organised by SD Armada or something like that.
