Greetings and salutations from North Wales..

Just joined the forum after purchasing my very 1st c90, being a 1979 2 owner, 14k well looked after little bike.
I've basically wanted one of these since being 10yr old flying around on my brother in laws, some 34years ago.
I bought 'it' (Name not yet decided) on a whim and not being mechanically minded, I have no idea what's in store, but she/he starts first time and idles nicely, so its a good start.

Hope to utilise your help and far greater knowledge than I have.

Thanks all -

Welcome.
Before we go any further, what colour is the bike? There's a difference of opinions as to which colour is fastest.
Changing the oil might be a good start. (just don't ask which oil) I expect others will be along with more advice about rolling maintenance, checking, adjusting and replacing what needs to be.
PS. All my bikes have been boys.

wecome to the forum,34 years since you were last on one, what do you think of them ,after such a long time

Welcome that man from Lloc Holywell.

Thanks for post Lyn - I'm over in the Rhyl riviera (the nice bit ha).
I could not find a c70/c90 local for love nor money.....ended up driving Windermere for this one, but seems worth it - fingers crossed. May even see you on the road one day......
