Hello from Suffolk

Post by Azoz » Mon Aug 30, 2021 8:47 pm

Hi new on the forum, I have a 1979 Honda C70 with 1150 original miles on it. I'm the second owner the first was my ex wife's Grandfather. I had it for 15 years and finally insured and registered it as a historic vehicle and rode it on the road today. Worked great but is seems to surge when on part throttle and died a couple of times when coming to a stop. Carbs been cleaned. Dry stored all its life. It was taken off the road in 1981 and has never had an MOT! Seems to top out at about 35.

Welcome, might be a good idea to put your approximate location on your details.

There are a few on here in Suffolk and Norfolk. In a normal year we have a camping event (East Anglian Rideout), last time was near Diss.

Also the Copdock show, again in a normal year, usually sees a few of us. I'll be there on 19th Sept.

It'll be a nice bike once you get it fettled.
