Keswick to Whiehaven egg run

[HRHpenfold]

Twas a bright, but cold day, but which bike to take,

the mighty 90,



I recon it must have been both the smallest and oldest bike there



plenty of people came over and asked what it was, S90's being much rarer than C90's



The awesome power meant many struggled to keep up,



The dodgy panoramic shows the 90 as the center of attention




and back home after a days thrashing the nuts off it,

I note that the luggage rack was missing any eggs!!

Exceeded weight capacity or got hungry en-route?

She's a pretty little thing, to be sure. Were there any hills on the route ?

It runs ok up hill, I replaced the points and plug which cured the misfire, though I may refit the original piston, as it seemed higher compression, and the S90 won't go over 50mph, where it used to do 55


I am collecting the parts to restore it, the pictures flatter the condition,

Parts are difficult to find that are specific to the early models, but I have new rims and spokes, and new front and back mudguards, and an original silencer,

Probably restore it towards the end of the year, it won't be mint though,
