Woo. I had one of those. Red, it was. Lovely soft engine, nice bike,
truly dreadful 6v electrics.
Yours looks very tidy.

Been there and done it myself.
It's no fun pulling sheets of ice off your kit when you get to work, so
you don't flood the cloakroom.

Is it as easy to convert to 12v as a Bantam ?

Nipping into town in the car is a PITA to be honest, add in the cost of
parking and the 30 mpg (at best) and something like the GN400 at 80 mpg ish
and no parking fee looks attractive :) ... and it only cost 13 quid to add
to my existing insurance :)

I'd suspect the CDI would be the difficult bit to work around, although it
may be possible to fit the SP370 points system but to be honest it's
acceptable for its modest performance

Had one too, before the DR, that makes you the only other person I
have ever "known" to have had one.

What's this 'winter run around' business about?
Surely that's what cars are for?
