i ride a 50

[davej]

i still do kevin oh god am i showing my age ( the ap was faster )
but ive heard stories of over 80 but i kinda look at the guy and think what a load of bull,
realisticly 55 for a good fs1e 60 for a good ap50 anymore is just nonsense, dont forget i own both

I had the AP50. The inside of the head was polished just as much as the outside of the bike. I also had a metalflake paintjob done on it!
Imagine my weight on it though (I've always been rather large), I kept blowing the bottom end.
I then had a rather more boring Honda SS50.
Memories.

Sorry guys I went straight to a CM125 and then up from there....

oh no not a ss50 the early model had 2.6 bhp and did 35ish tops with a 4 speed box the later ones with 5 speed could almost keep up with a fs1e.
nowadays of couse you can chuck a 140cc lump from a pit bike straight in and make it go like the clappers

SS50. I remember breaking one side of the footrest off and still needed to ride it whilst I waited for the part to be deliveried so I removed the other footrest and bolted a piece of 2 by 2 wood to the frame.
If Morgan cars could get away with a wooden chassis then I could get away with a wooden footrest.

Never had such a small bike meself started on a C70..........Hmmmm 3 speed semi auto box top speed 40, perhaps i should keep quiet-

You have to start somewhere and speaking with more experienced riders is a great way to get tips and learn. See you at the Sally soon I hope.
