Welcome.

I'd not ridden or considered owning a Cub until I bought one for my son to use. When in my teens a good friend had a new A65L and then bought a new C50 (or C100), he raved on about it. We all thought he was nuts, he was an RAC/ACU instructor as well and used it to follow learners. It took a while to cotton on. :D

Very true. Biggest toy (XB12R) has not being used since my silly mishap with the BMW. Won't be getting rid of it whilst I can still squeeze my self on and then might even do a straight bar conversion.

The C90 was ideal to ride after a year on crutches, that's another one that I'll never part with. :D

Legs good thanks Mick. Well it'll never actually be good but even now its getting stronger all the time but reckon I'll always walk like Herr Flick.

I'm not chancing riding at the moment as well aware of the consequences of another offroad adventure. :lol:

Good taste 16 years in my possession still puts a big smile on my face my xbr12s was ex HD demo bike so came with micron serpent race ECU and was told there is some trick bits in the engine to impress the press at the time .I traded my R1 for it I needed to slow down one more ticket gone licence.sorry about the misap had one myself in 2014 blind arshole turned right woke up in the northern general in the critical care unit 9 weeks there before they let me out year in a wheelchair not nice best thing have no memory of it.no work now so can spend my time restoring bikes and riding them next in line is the c90 and a 1961 Honda c76 prest steel frame like the c90 also a 1954 BSA A10 plunger nearly finished.plus I now build sleepers fitted a 155 zongsten 155 in to a Sachs madass and now fitting a KTM 450 Motorcross engine into a wk sp125 because I can .some of the specials on this forum is great my loss I should have come here years ago
