I know it's rough in Blackpool, but do you really need a steering lock that big?

Was up there earlier this week….. Yes 😕

Apart from being described as a "delightful piece of 1970's retro" when it was built in 1980, my memories of driving these pieces of shit when they were new most certainly don't agree with the description. 

It is undeniably lovely though, shit or otherwise!

I did think that the likelihood of anything powered by a NA Bedford 500 being able to "keep up with traffic" was somewhat slim.

Just looks impossible to ride for us old people. I'd be quite happy to swap it for the telly in the living room, though.

I was following a 916 through the centre of Norwich the other day.  Sounded f'ing gorgeous.

It's in fabulous Croydon. I bet it'd be great fun to get the train down and ride it home down the quieter roads, would be well up for that.

Thought about putting this in the ebay f*ckwits and arseholes thread.

Advertised (and apparently "sold") last week - I thought the starting price was a bit rich for something with no MOT (though this info was surprisingly absent from the auction listing) so messaged the seller to see if he planned on getting it MOT'd before the auction end - he relied saying something along the lines of "not insured/taxed/couldnt ride it"

Now re-advertised as having 12 months MOT.

 

Only it doesnt,

It's probably going to be rusty

I have been idly looking for a C50/70/90 for a long time. The rear of the frame on that one is clearly fucked, evidenced by the decades old filler and primer by the shock mounts. It’s undoubtedly a candidate for restoration, but don’t be under any illusion that it’s not going to need extensive structural repair. I strongly suspect that it failed an MoT on frame rot back in the day, and had just enough work done to get it through another one or two tests before being laid up. 
 

These little bikes’ Achilles heel is their propensity to dissolve their rear tinware; that and the bodgery/neglect of the people who tended to own them when they were current.

The electrically assisted bicycle that set back the development and sale of electrically assisted cycling about 30 years. 

If Sir Clive had just got into bed with Brompton or Raleigh or designed a more conventional bike himself, he'd be as rich as Elon or Jeff, instead of being relegated into history behind Sir Alan.

To be fair, it looks like it's not a cheap thing to build. Usually the more shit the design, the more it costs to make.

(New POD....Once built a one wheeled trailer for an A level project, to go behind a motorbike, the idea being that it woukd lran with the bike..That bit worked.. it cost a bloody fortune.)

That'd be a slow journey home. I love pootling about on my C50 but its dangerously slow on some uphill A roads with full compression!

Fit an aluminium contraption to the bars and ride round cosplaying a wannabe cabby from the 80s studying for the knowledge - used to see 'em all the time.
