    Well I heard about the sheds from a work colleague.
    It's an 80cc somewhere between 1964-70 but I'll need to look into it some more.
    Shane really as there were quite a few small cc bikes but mostly rotted away

    Not sure to be honest. My Dad had a 64 model and it looked like this one, only his was in blue, but also with a dual seat.

    Not one I have owned to be fair, but my Dad had one in blue, sadly both are no longer with us.

    @PompeyMark sorry to hear that
    Just for info the one in the picture you posted doesn't have the autolube system... Notice no pipe from the right hand cover. Autolube arrived in 1964 so mine is definitely later

    @half ton I agree but I have to restrain myself from grabbing absolutely everything! Ha
    After all I need to make money
    Though I did get some good saves today so happy enough

    If you come across any 50cc motorcycles going very cheap I'm looking for a project for my sold who will come off age (16) in July. We are looking for something to strip and rebuild so a non runner is good for us (as long as we can get parts)

    Cheers :)

    I'm in Bournemouth so it's not too far away. Is it something they do every Saturday?

    @DreadySteve it's not every Saturday no.. I believe it's about 7 times a year. I'm always up there hunting for parts!
    I have a fridge magnet at home with all the dates if you want them?
    I'll be up there on Saturday handing out discount flyers for my site :)
