I had great fun many years ago with this bike and got it registered on an A plate (1983 built). Eventually sold it to a mate before we came up here to Orkney, not sure where it ended up.

Fascinating little bike Ian .. never heard of it before ..thanks for posting.

Orcade-Ian:
Thanks Ash,
Yes it was certainly a rare one - I’ve still not seen another- no wonder really as I was often overtaken by old ladies on pedal cycles!  I really ought to have kept that one but was being pestered by a mate in Southport.  I actually brought it to Orkney with me but he finally won the day and I took it back down on one of my visits - hey ho!

Lobo:
Ian... I reckon Honda stole the idea from a fellow I met recently in our village. He tells me he found it on eBay @ $25 😂

Orcade-Ian:
Just in case you are running out of projects, here’s another bike story- this time from 2010.  Obviously things have changed quite a lot from then and we can’t use easy breaks for our annual escape.  They still exist but only a small handful of Hotels available and prices of special deals near normal figures now.

No idea what will happen post virus - my riding buddy and his Wife are both confirmed cases.

Hopefully it might encourage folk to sample the Highlands if there are any Hotels still trading when we come out of this.

I was hoping to do the NC500 with my son this summer (or at least a version of it). Obviously thats been put on the back burner now, but I'd love to take a trip over to the Orkneys if and when we do get up to your neck of the woods.
