Cavcraft Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 This has sort of happened. Was weighing some up on eBay, but not a fan of the 'bobber' type bikes. Anyhow, dropped the scooter off at the bike place and as it was being tested I had a look round the sales section and saw this. A mate of mine knows the owner so we had a chat yesterday and it was all sorted and tested for me and they delivered it earlier... It's all legit (or will be when it's been taxed, hopefully tomorrow) so it's maiden voyage is going to be interesting. drewd, Joey spud, strangeangel and 11 others 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of 1.9 water cooled diesel thing, sir. Right, chopper now legit (had to go to P.O to tax it) so gave it a maiden voyage. Apart from the fact it kept trying to stall (and did on a few occasions) and the way it corners (or nearly doesn't) it was an ace laugh. As all of us with big choppers know though, the longer it is the harder it becomes to move around. mat_the_cat, puddlethumper, DaveDorson and 6 others 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDorson Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 My Mrs likes a chopper.. sailor. I've not ridden a bike for over a decade now, and I'd have to do a test because I'm a respectable member of the community now, so riding without being licenced for one is frowned upon. However, that look like a hoot. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraWomble Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Nutter. The CG front end would sell to the Cub Bois as an upgrade to the C90 front forks and brakes.

Supernaut Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I just want to see him assemble the contents of the photo above into some sort of motorised contraption.

wuvvum Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Didn't they make a 2-wheel drive version of the Neval? Would be an ideal* WBOD if you could cobble one of those together. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Bloody wish it was £50, it's a smidge under 6 times that The Suzuki has come out in sympathy and started making a sort of clacking sound from the n/s/f when in reverse gear (manual box).

Cavcraft Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Basically tank, engine (unknown condition) gearbox and starter motor (same), frame with plate and V5, fork legs and a box of bits. It's probably best for spares or someone with hitherto unknown levels of insanity to make some sort of custom out of. Local trader coming to view tomorrow, I think he deals in the erm 'interesting' stuff like this. UltraWomble and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
