Honda CT description

1973 Honda CT70 with approximately 7500 miles. Exact mileage is unknown as I think the previous owner added a new speedo (Current 2762).
3 speed semi auto gearbox (no clutch).
Capable of 38mph with 190lbs person onboard.
Original Blue plate, and registration just recently renewed.
Clear title and Pink Slip in Hand.
Well looked after. 
I bought the bike and the motor was not running well. Since then it has had many new parts installed, and I brought it back to life.
Runs and idles great.
Ideal as a motor home/RV accessory, or just for fun in the summer to go to the shops on.
This bike attracts a lot of attention, and admirers.

New:
Mikuni 19mm Carburetor
Aftermarket cylinder head, piston, and barrel purchased from "T-Bolt USA" (orginal Honda ones included in the sale - need cleaning, minor work, and valves lapping)
Performance air filter and fuel filter
Spark Plug
Ignition points and alternator
Battery
Bridgestone Trail Tires

It's not perfect, but still in great overall condition as you can see by the pictures. 
Great fun to ride around town (as I have been). 
There are a few minor issues that need to be corrected if you are looking for perfection:
Exhaust is leaking slightly from a weld (needs re welding).
3 inch wide tear on the seat (original seat) at the back end.
Chain needs cleaning and re-oiling
Headlight bulb has gone, and I put a LED bulb in there as a temporary solution as they are sealed units.
Frame has some scratches

I'm selling the bike because I have just bought another new project bike, and only have space for one.

The vehicle will be sold as is, as seen by the buyer.
LOCAL PICK UP ONLY
Any questions, please message me.

Bahrain track days

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

A few months ago, expat (and ex racer) John Beddall made contact to ask if I fancied doing some track day instruction out in Bahrain.  After thinking about it for two seconds, flights were booked and a plan was put in place to look after around forty riders for a day at the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).  Young Taylor Mac was also recruited to look after any tasty riders that I couldn’t deal with   The Brits out there love their bikes, however, quite a few locals also turned up plus a few others from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar.  Most were on high end Superbikes, like S1000s, Panigales and RSV4s but there was also a healthy number R6s and new 675Rs.   Although this fabulous Hermann Tilke designed circuit is around ten years old incredibly it has never hosted a bike race.  The highlight of the year there is F1 but being owned by the Bahrainian Royal family, there is no desperate need for the circuit to operate as a profitable business.  The track reminded me of Qatar but much more interesting as some great undulations have been built into its desert location. We shared the track with Supercars on the day (20mins on/20mins off) and as you might imagine it was betty swollocks for seven hours in the 30 plus temperatures.  As usual there was a few offs with poor old RS1000 Aprilia mounted Andy breaking his femur early in the day.  Two other buddies appeared to swap bikes mid air in another incident but fortunately escaped unhurt.In the evening everyone stayed for an al fresco dinner in the paddock with the craic going on for hours as the Fosters kept flowing.   All in all it was a brilliant trip and it has left me thinking there could be cost effective ways of getting Brits out there for track days next winter.  I'll keep you posted.Cape Town next to make my racing comeback at the Killarney 8 hour on a CBR150 Honda.  Hopefully I can manage the beast, I'll post a full report next week.
