I ended up couriering in London on these twenty five years ago. I'd pick em up for a couple of hundred quid tops, (or swap the engine for less than a hundred and an hours work if it needed a service and I couldn't be bothered to take the head off. The price of them now though is just insane. North of a grand for a complete wreck.
Ahh wicked that's sounds like great fun to me, but bet it wasn't as Rosie as I'd imagine. It's like with anything though isn't it...as soon as it becomes classic or 'Cult' you get the 'tax'. Try owning a T4 too 🤣. I dont know ow why I do it to myself. 🤦♂️
@@anidiotonboard6539 I've watched his videos over & over, you're right he is an inspirational bloke. I did 2 vids of the Aussie Postie Nationals 2022, a get together of cubs, cts monkeys etc, I think you'll like them.
@Free_Ranger_CT110 ney bother me ode. I apreciate the effort that goes into it. I enjoy it and if others can enjoy it too then I'm happy. Nice, I'll start working my way through. Bet Aus is an amazing place to ride.
A combination of battery, starter motor and or starter solenoid......or poor earthing, or faulty regulator 🤣......I haven't had time to deep dive it yet.
@anthonycumberpatch5439 thank you, but its all good. Just got to get stuck in there and diagnose the issue and repair Him. He's due to hit Strata florida and the rest of the Welsh TET this year. Custard is my TET project bike so won't be letting him rot.
Yea I've since read something about tax exemption is a year after its 40th. Since you can't get tax without an MOT, you need an MOT for the extra year as well. Very conflicting info on the dvla website and gov. Website.

Chain? I thought they were all shaft drive..
Never seen a shaft driven one myself, but I'm new to them, so don't actually know if they ever made one.
No mate the hondas were chain drive. It was yamahas townmate that was shaft driven.
