Hello everyone.

Great forum with plenty of brilliant info!

I finally got a bike yesterday. Picked up a 1980 C70 Passport in great nick. Been looking for years for the right bike and found it half a mile away from my house!!

All advice about it will be gladly welcomed.

Hello and welcome aboard locally from sunny Newtownards.

Hello and welcome aboard locally from sunny Newtownards.

Thanks. Im down the Peninsula so not far away!

Lovely bike.

Hi and welcome.
That's a great looking bike!! There's some quite different bits and bobs on it compared to the 70s I normally see. Indicators ( I remember them on Honda melodies), engine cases etc.
I realise it's badged up as a passport, do you know it's history?
Anyway very nice, and don't take any of that crap about slow blue ones!!!
Cheers Andy.

Thanks Andy.

I know it spent most of its days in California and was brought here to the UK a few years back.

As far as I know everything is original on it apart from the rear shocks. (I have them too buy the blue plastic is broken on 1 of them). All the passports I've seen have the same indicators etc so I'm happy its all as should be.

It will hardly go that fast with me on it as I'm a big lump!!

California ehh. That probably means very clean (corrosion free) frame then? Regarding the colour..... there's a bit of banter on here aledging that red ones are faster!! Ha Ha
Cheers Andy.
