Lost in a dead C70!

Post by Filthyritch » Sat Mar 03, 2012 10:21 am

Hello kids,
Filthyritch, a new bor' here.

When father in-law said, "theres an old bike in the goat shed" was I excited?! An old triumph? BSA? a Black Shadow???!! No, a dismantled C70....... I walked away dispondant. A year later, I happened there again and the once red bike seemed lower in the mud, sitting on its engine, forks and rear mud gaurd, rusting away, poor thing. Certain peoples, (we wont mention) suggested I drag it out of the mire and ride it, thus joining them and enjoying that Crunchy feeling. Cheers guys now I cant get in my shed for rusted C70 parts, but its getting there, cheers guys for your help.

Anyway, a big Hi to all those who know that feeling......

Indeed, welcome aboard the strange train that is Cubbism. Call me legion, for we are many!

I'm on the western Edge of East Anglia, more or less, so things are looking up in this general neck of the woods!

The shadow would be lovely of course, but I reckon all told you've won 2nd prize there, not 4th! ;)
