Greetings from Kings Lynn

[akela nick]

Greetings one and all. I'm new to the world of the C90, well not actually true as I last had one about 32 years ago. So I guess I'm more "born again"? I have just brought the bike as I've signed up for a Lands End to John O'Groats jaunt in September (google Nathan Millward The Garbage Run for a youtube video) and didn't think I should turn up on my Crosstourer... Having picked the bike up yesterday I'm just hoping that it will make it, as I had a job getting to 45mph with just me on it. (117kg so no light weight) So my trip could take quite a while... A friend has said about swapping the barrel, carb and head off a 110cc machine he has in his garage. Has anyone had any experience of this? Any hints and suggestions most welcome.
Nick.

Hi!

I did the same run on the first one - you'll be fine on a standard C90 pace as long as you don't push it too hard and recognise that everybody's pace will change

Just give it a bloody good service before you set off and you'll be fine.

Happy cubbing!

Hi Nick,

Welcome.
Also from Kings Lynn myself!
Give me a shout if you ever fancy a blast.
We like to head Feltwell way and do back roads and woods round there

Thanks Viper that's good to know that I'll be able to keep up as I was getting a little worried. I hope you have good memories of your trip. Hi Phil a ride out sometime would be great. Do you stop off for a brew en route too?

[PhilB]

Normally we take the little stove for the brew ups, and some bacon too

[Viper254]

That is definitely the way to ride; brew and bacon

Good luck with your Jogle.
Enjoy every minute.

Nick,

Spotted a red C90 square headlight enjoying the ride through West Winch (warming the tyres up side to side haha)
Never seen it before..
Open faced helmet,

Was it you!??

[akela nick]

Hey Phil, yep it could have been. Only just seen your post as not been on here for a few days (work and house hunting) Now on my 4 days off (do shift work) so hoping for some good weather and fair winds. Have you ever been to the Iron Horse in Market Deeping on a Thursday? As I'm thinking of taking a ride over this week as I've not been for ages. Drop us a text any time 07969927982

regards Nick.

Probably was you then!
Not many about here is there. Just the bloke on the blue one if you've seen him about?

No I haven't, is it a bikers meet?
Ok, I will save your number. Do you enjoy off road too? As that's why I often end up
