Great ride out yesterday, 2 new Cubs Harry’s ‘Honda Cossack’ & my trusty Cub. I made the screen a few years back from 3mm red acrylic/Perspex. Trail and error and shaped by warming with a blow torch and pulling into shape with the fixing bolts. Cut out with a jigsaw and polish the edges with Abranet.
I did 200 miles yesterday and the new engine is now run in and pulls well, thank you Alan CF :D
Well done on the screen, looking good 8-)
200 miles, wow! So, did Alan cf re-build or replace your engine?

Great pics and the Innova/Schwalbe looks like a perfect mix of Eastern block style and Honda practicality.

Also like the red flyscreen on the C90, food for thought there. :D
Please please ,Don't encourage the lad, his a mixed up
Mansfield lad already,
He may have a good taste in cars, But bikes 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
The Simova or the C90 with the red screen? Can't deny liking the both. :D

As it happens I've ordered some red perspex and dug out my templates so there will hopefully be a couple of duplicates down here. If the first one turns out OK, if not I will go strangely quiet on the subject. :lol:
Sorry, the simova, or bathtub 😜 his always sending me worrying pictures over of bikes he thinks I should like,
But in fact nobody likes, I'm waiting in trepidation for his next creation to roll out of his shed, I've just finished another innova engine rebuild for him, so theres definitely something brewing 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It was great to meet up with you again after so long, John and a brilliant day out with you lot. Andy has a fantastic route finding talent and Carl just makes it one big laugh.

I really hate to say this. But the brown piece of junk is utterly fantastic.
