VJMC jumble

Badshot Lea, today. Rather fun.

A smallish jumble, as they go, but as you'd expect, almost all Jap. I
loaded the car with some odds and sodds, and made myself over £60 in the
morning, so I was happy. Managed to find a kickstart rubber I was
looking for (wow!) as well.

Bike of the day was this:

A sort of off-road Honda C90.

Imported from Canada, on an old J plate. Honda 90 stepthru engine, but
with low and high ratio choice, still semi automatic - what looks like
the clucth level is actually a secondary rear brake, linked via a cable.
You can just see the mechanism behind the swinging arm.

Extraordinary device. Rather fun, IMHO.

Tons of 'em in Oz, tho' apparently they're 110s these days, and
the Australia Post model doesn't have the transfer case.

Popular in bucket racing or similar, may even have their own
class/series.
