hi, a quick hello, i have recently bought a 1975 C70, it`s on the road and i have used it a few times, there are a couple of things i will be asking about if i can`t find the answers after searching, and it has some bits missing, otherwise i am looking forward to some fun, i have a few other bikes of different styles and have had over 50 bikes since i started riding in the late 60`s, howdy !

In many ways the C70 is a better bike than the 90 you once had. It's got more parts in common with the later 12 volt bikes.

i`m looking forward to being able to tinker with it properly,( just had a hip replacement) it won`t tick over too well and i think the clutch needs adjusting, i`m thinking out of all my bikes this will be the first i will be able to manage , if i can get it right i may be going to belgium to the oldtimers run in september, i am booked on the ferry with a bantam but that may be sold by then,
