Hi thanks for adding me. I love my 1989 C90. I did an epic ride on it back in May going to four Scottish islands on nine different ferries over a week camping on my own. A great experience and the little bike never missed a beat over the 700 miles despite getting a few drenchings.

Hi, thank you. I didn't video it but I took pictures at every step of the way. Went to isles os Arran, Islay, Jura and Bute. I got so much interest in my c90, even the guy in the not self service petrol station, er petrol pump wanted to have a sit on it.

Welcome.
Sounds a great trip and the "Usedtohave" conversation crops up anywhere and everywhere you stop either solo or in a group.
Club rides show this and when 30 or so of you turn up you usually end up with some admirers. This happens to me when I ride the C90 with friends, all on newer, bigger bikes. I'm usually the one who gets buttonholed. :D
Re video, I use a helmet cam and record all of my rides as a matter of course. TBH I rarely view, edit or publish, occasionally I'll search out a clip of something amusing or a saved frame but it takes me ages. One good clip was following a mate on his new Gold Star 650, he had just filled it up with diesel and the backfire, cloud of smoke and inability to catch our leader on his PCX was amusing. :lol:

Lol yes always great fun to be had. So many people come over to me to talk about the 90. They either had one, knew somebody that had one, passed their test on one or tried their best unsuccessfully to kill one in the local field or on the local pit heap in my case.
