Had a bit of inspiration , she has always refused the Z in the house even when on lockdown I said it would be great because I could watch TV and have a little spoke cleaning session . So today I have made an executive man decision and that’s where it’s staying (until she comes home)
What is it with women???

I went out for a ride with a few mates yesterday, Walt was saying his wife has put her her foot down with a firm hand. He is under no circumstances to buy another motorbike, the poor bloke has only got ten, his mrs has got a summer house that doesn't have a single motorbike in it. What a waste of valuable space!

Always had a soft spot for these and yours looks fantastic - a real credit to you...... so how often do you sail her?.

Not as much as I like, it’s a hoot ...I bought it so I could just put on a helmet and pop up the shops or wherever, none of the dressing up like robocop ... it’s perfect and original apart from a repro carb which is not working well... trying to get hold of a genuine carb to get refurbed isn’t easy... All clean just need to get it to run right.
Out of the house back in the garage ( she didn’t make me honest, I just thought the feng shui was wrong honest)
Added it to the Zed insurance agreed value , £26, £20 which was admin fee...

As Pigford has pointed out, you have a gorgeous place.

The view is stunning.

Sad day today, RVN “Ravin” was collected as a write Off.., I dropped it at 20mph and it slid under a car, not a lot of visible damage but forks were back and to one side and the head tube was twisted.... I am absolutely gutted as I feel like I have gone into a museum and smashed an irreplaceable object... I spent a week in hospital as the result of the off and have been told by the daughters no more bikes... Going to play the better than money in the bank card to keep the Z and it will take a while but I will source another C90

Sorry to hear, at least you'll live to fight another day - could have been worse it could have been the Zed....

The Z is amazing but the Hodna was absolutely nuts showroom original, can’t replicate that.

Bloody hell, it was a stunner but pleased you survived the impact! Good chance of finding another C90 but not a lot of hope for a new life if you’d lost it, so in some respects, a good result!

such a shame after all the pleasure that wee bike gave you, but 100% you only get one body and glad you are on mend
