The twingo is just a convenience to me for when I need it, as 90% of the time I am on a bike Not sure if anyone on here is into bikes but as I now have 3 I thought thats a good enough reason to show them off :lol:
First bike is my SV. Bought this for fair weather stuff (as the torque is very hectic in the wet!) and for going longer journeys, realising that my DRZ400 wasn't the best tourer for me after a trip across scotland. My behind was not happy, and it didnt like sitting at 70 for very long . I'd had one before and love v-twins so I opted for another! Most of this has been apart and properly cleaned/painted etc so it is in very very good condition. It'll be the bike taking me to the isle of man this year
Once i'd done this up and realised how skittish it was in the wet I wanted a bike I could ride whatever the weather. I've always wanted a honda c90 supercub but never had the chance or money to get one. This came up on gumtree for much cheapness so I bought it that day. Took it completely apart and rebuilt it after a really good clean and undersealing/waxoyling to prevent it from rusting. It carries me and my girlfriend all over and I love it to bits. Wont ever be getting rid! would you believe that this is £18 more a year to insure than the SV? :shock:
My love for C90s went a bit far when another humungous cub fanatic near me offered me one of his. Stolen recovered but everything to put it on the road, and more. I got the bike and then filled 2 cars with bits. Literally FILLED. The twingo had the lighter load and was still definitely feeling it. The back of my shed is now brimmed with everything cub. I can almost guarantee that theres nothing I dont have, and what I do have I have around 2 or 3 of each :lol: This one will be being lightly restored and sold to cover the cost of the bike and all of the parts, then all of the spares will be kept to keep my pride and joy going for years and years. £2.50 a week on fuel for me and an oil change every 1000 miles. Cheap as chips motoring and I have a right laugh while i'm doing it
