The Dark Wob

No, early 90’s. I’ll find a ‘ kindly’ tester

Didn't realise they made such awful things so late on, looks 50s.

The indicators on my red C90 only work if you rev the engine. I charged the battery a couple of weeks ago and they were fine but they've gone back to faulty again now.

No different from their car design then.

No but I didn't lose either due to strong used prices, the WBAB offer matched the PCP settlement (well almost its cost me 90 quid) usually at 20 months into a 37 month contract you'd be in negative equity, so I'm not moaning as I've saved almost £2k by selling and clearing the finance rather than keeping it if that makes sense.

I've had 5 bikes on PCP now but this will be the last, it's nice having a brand new bike but if you scratch it or drop or you're fucked, plus the milage limits are too low, its also annoying paying for it for the 6 months of winter and not using it, I'll probably pick up something next year to replace it.

I was coming home from Claim_Intends gaff today and pull into a petrol station in Ruthin. My eyes were greeted to the sight of a tidy but used 1976 Z900. I trot over to admire it. I'd forgotten how small big bikes were back in the '70s. The owner, a gent in his late 60s, walks over seemingly quite happy to chat to me about it presumably he was quite flattered. I tell him that I'm more than a little jealous and I say that I wish I'd bought one back in the late '80s when they were reasonably priced. He tells me not to be too upset as he wishes he'd bought a Vincent in the late '60s when they were also reasonably priced.

I'm trying to work out my lotto win ten bike garage.

Pre '77 FS1E and Puch Grand Prix.
1976 Suzuki GT185 because that was my first bike.
Pre YPVS Yamaha 350LC.
Honda NS400.
Ducati Hailwood Replica.
Kawasaki H1 triple.
Kawasaki Z1.
Probably some sort of Harley.
Suzuki TL1000S.
Honda MTX200.

I'd have a Vincent, Brough Superior, several other things with flat tanks hopefully including a BSA V-twin and some 60s Brit crap.
