Nearly there!

It's alive!!! I've grafted both C90s together and now have a runner, albeit a smoky one. Having piston rings in a dozen pieces means that it expels more smoke from the various holes in the crankcase than from the exhaust! Clearly a sign from above that a big bore kit is required... Next step, nobblies!

And here's proof that NOTHING is beyond Hammerite!

Hammerite covers everything!

I know I know, an off road bike without a noisy exhaust???

Voila... £350 quids worth of D&D, very appropriate...

A trick D&D exhaust

and, even sillier, the other bike has a megaphone!!

It's not very well...

Said it wouldn't run didn't I?? She fired up but sounded very unwell indeed so I popped the engine out,

only to find the bottom of the crank case full of interesting lumps of metal...

Engine Debris

Clearly some work had been done on the engine with the re-assembly dealt with by a Donkey or animal of similar intellect! Any bolts still in place were finger tight at best, the rest had all made friends with the gear box/clutch/big ends etc.

The next ped

The next C90 is a ropey eBay purchase, it's had 1 repeat ONE owner from new and was last used in 1979!

There's no danger of it ever running again but I'm a sucker for punishment!

Lots more pictures and silliness to come!

The start...


Another stupid pub idea beckons...

Green laning has been on the to-do list for years, we can't all afford motocrossers so made a pact to go with a Honda C90 each!

First one was a stolen recovered that the lazy cops had not bothered to 'recover'. Clearly didn't find out before I had spent a weekend stripping and rebuilding the engine (bike came from the bottom of a lake!) and a fair bit on parts to make it road legal... Bugger...
