Honda Super Cub

[Crackle]

Must have been from reading this thread but I had a weird dream last night that I had CG125 converted into a fully enclosed scooter. It hadn't been used for years but being a CG started first time. Oh it had a foot clutch as well.

I may need help.

@Crackle come and lie on this big comfy couch and tell me all about it..

My daughter had a Honda Sky 50 when she was 16, which looked pretty similar to the Super Cub. Looking at that does make me want one, though I know I shall never get one.

If I win the lottery, what I would really like is an old trials bike, to putter about on and to tinker with. I just need to win big on the lottery first.......

My first bike was a 1971 C50 in '75

Great old thing, kept up with all bar the well maintained italian mopeds in the area.
My brother wrote it off in 79...

My father-in-law still got around on Italian scooters, then got the Yamaha Riva, right dependable old thing that was, too.

There's a Honda CB 185 in a barn near me. A lot of them got sold in the States, though, and they aren't a super high dollar item, if you are willing to tear them down and get them running again.

Genuinely read that as Honda Supper Club and imagined a load of middle aged men from the home counties discussing their Civics in one of those pubs that has leather arm chairs.

It's a better way to spend £x than an e-bike.

Apples and pears.

A pedal assisted electric bicycle is a different animal to something which needs a licence, tax, insurance, an MoT, regular refueling and servicing.
