Well dear old Albs is getting on a bit, so wafting along on a motorised sofa might suit at his age.  :D

As a very Russian, Putin, Soviet, Checz, left winger, so obvious a CZ350, but the thought might give him another distance cough. :P :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D ;D Failing that how about an MZ for comrade MigV6. :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D

A chicken chaser eh? I believe the 90's have gone up in value recently as there is a beginners race league for them.

In the very loosest sense of the word.  ;D
Got it for a song and they are becoming collectable and rising in value. No intention of riding it ever. Not even with a dark visor. The shame would be too much.  :-[ ;D

It certainly has, although that will be going in the bin.  ;D
Buying it from a 76 year old gent who I know. He has owned it from new, but doesn't ride it anymore and wants rid.  :)

I'm sure you will look the part in your leathers and full face helmet, knee sliders on the tarmac round corners as you flash past people on the straights, engine screaming, at 43 mph. ;D ;D ;D

The C90......is the hot version and will leave a C50 and C70 for dead.

I remember riding one years ago. If memory serves it had an odd 3 speed semi auto gearbox, or similar.

C90 is pretty rapid. 55 MPH.

Mr Bitz will have to fight off all the young nubiles with a stick.

There are two possible courses of action, neither of which involves me sampling the power of the mighty beast.
1. Tidy it up and sell it
2. Tidy it up, stash it away for years and then sell it.  :)

This option. :y

As already said the C90 is becoming 'sought after'

A tidy profit awaits. :y

You don't have 'years'

Much like STMO, you will shortly be visited by the fella wearing a black cloak carrying a scythe. :)

That seems such a waste, when you could be having lots of fun like this:

Next June goi to the IOM so you can open it up to see what it will really do on the out of town no speed limit sections. 8) 8) 8) Looking forward to you reporting back to OOF on that one. ::) ::) ::)

You could do a few practice track days first to setup the suspension before then. 8) 8) 8)

Several years ago, my father-in-law had a C90, which he lent me whilst my car was out of action. It was surprisingly good, and the only motor bikie that ever hurt me - I came off it on a gravelly bend after being forced to brake hard!
It was fun to ride, though, if slow, so if you ever consider selling it, Albs, I am interested. :y 8)

But he could go out in 'style' on the IOM rather than just sitting around waiting for the grim reaper to turn up. :o :o :o :P :P :P

Grim reaper can turn up any time he wants. Im not bothered as long as he does a quick job.  ;)

 He still could go and find himself a Royal Enfield Robin.
500cc diesel single so chip oil power resumes.
0-60mph is about 40 seconds on normal diesel so...…...

If you mean my beloved Sunbeam, Albs - you already know the answer to that!

What did you think of it, Albs?
When I rode my father-in-laws C90, the first thing I noticed was no petrol tank with knee grips on it - felt weird!  :o

It felt hideous to ride in every possible way. Don't think anyone who knew me spotted me, but I still felt deep shame.  :-[ :D
My Suomi Bayliss replica helmet must have looked a bit out of place.  ;D
