Hi from West Wales

Some of you may know me from the C90 forum, Capitano and Horrorbags immediately spring to mind. I picked up a couple of Helixes a while ago, kept one and passed the other on. Very happy with the comfort and economy and 70mph is quite enough on those little wheels thank you.
I've tried joining previously but computer said 'No*.
I've retired from work and spend far too much of time tinkering with bikes, C100, Innova (FF conversion), Jialing 70, FF Honda 400 (Coda), Shadow 700 and 125 Pitbike currenly.

Hello and welcome Htpete - tinkering is great and I suspect many of us revel in it. My "safe space", the garage...
Like the Shadow; the 45 degree V twin engine in all its versions is a great Honda engine isn't it?

The Shadow was innovative for its time, slipper clutch, twin spark, water cooled, hydraulic tappets and an engine in primary balance despite the 45 deg cylinders.
Best of all it will be Tax and MOT exempt as of April next year

Is nowhere safe now?
Welcome to the forum, Pete.
Maybe give it a few days before you reveal your FF creations, yeah?
