Hey everyone, just joined as I’ve been looking for a cub for a while and thought maybe this would be a better place to come. I’ve had all sorts of bikes, big and small, but always had the most fun on the littleuns.

I’ve wanted a cub for years and just never bitten the bullet but a mate bought a a lovely little 80’s Honda cb100 a month or so ago, I took one ride and it reminded me how much I want a little old Honda.

Currently got my dads old triumph adventurer in the garage that I’m working on but it’s not my cup of tea.

And I have a few old bmw’s (cars) a ‘76 2002, a ‘76 e21 320 and my pride and joy ‘56 2000.

I’m also looking abroad for a bmw r24. My dream bike,
Asides from a 70’s cub of course. That’s what I’m
After. If anyone has one for sale, let me know!

Hi Ron, and welcome from another new member.

Nothing wrong with doing the eBay and Auto Trader rounds. I picked up a nice '86 model recently that I aim to bring to a better life over winter.

Granted, buying through a forum will assure you (generally) of an excellent bike because nothing is better than buying a gem from a person with like interests. It has worked for me in the past - though not through this forum. Best wishes in your search!!

Hey! Exactly what I was thinking. I’ve seen a few nice ones on eBay lately but being a complete newbie to cubs I thought it would be nice to buy from someone in the know!
Good to hear you’re saving one! I’d ideally like an early model in unrestored condition to get mechanically sorted but not to repaint. I like survivors where possible. I love to see the history of bikes and cars, warts and all.

Stick your location in your details, always helps and something may pop up near by.

Welcome!
Hope you find yourself a nice little bike.
I wouldn't rush into anything as one will always come up for the right price! (compared to the current market)

Thanks you! Have done just now! I’m in Derby so nowhere is too bad to get to luckily. I know there’s a bit of a club round here somewhere because I’ve seen them all out before now. Any ideas if they have a name?!

Thank you. I have noticed how much the price keeps going up and up! That’s why I’d like to grab one now! I’ve been putting it off for too long and I know when I find the right one, I’ll have it forever. That’s what I tend to do.

Ah, yes. that's what I thought when I got married !

Over the years we have had a lot of rides around Matlock and the peaks starting at the aquarium in Matlock Bath.We have a meet there this month check it out down the page a bit.

Oh that’s awesome! I’m no stranger to rides out from Matlock! I’ll take a look and if I’m free I’ll come say hello for sure! Thank you for the heads up!
