I love the smell of chip-fat in the morning.....

I had a Honda C90 for a short while. Never got on with it that well.. strange transmission meant I kept doing wheelies because I'd forget to decelerate before changing down - with a clutch lever I never do that!! I also found the front-end-rising-on-braking sensation very strange too.

I sold it and used the money to buy a mini...!!
