Certainly looks great.

As for saddlebags we all had them then on our pushbikes and on our motorcycles. I remember Paul you liked the photos I had of the white saddlebags I had on my A100. They were probably all NZ made, not foreign stuff like Givi or some other odd name like that.

I had one just like that! Except the ignition was a light switch, and it was completely fucked aesthetically and mechanically. Otherwise, exactly the same :laugh:

Was awesome at keeping parts of the lawn down.

I had an '81 lime green one as my commuter on Waiheke Island for 7 years. Exactly the same as that except for a black seat and ign up on the leg shields by the steering head. As a one (driveable) car family, it carted my kids to activities too. I could carry things like a chainsaw in my left hand as you didn't need to use the clutch. Came back to Auckland with it, and it was just too slow on the roads so had to go. I paid nothing for it, and sold it for not much more....who thought it would be worth something one day....and who would've thought people would pay big money to live on Waiheke Island?

i inherited my grandads 1974 c50 and used to ride it to uni twenty years ago. had the same saddle bags but took them off as i didnt want to look too dorkish....

was loud and pretty quick for something with hardly any brakes

i think most of the ones around chch are now snapped up by the quake city rumblers

At that price maybe its time I sold this little beauty from our teenaged 60's
