That’ll be four villains from Clerkenwell that have just made it over the border with a Tranny full of hooky gold bars- Jack & George will be along in the Granada to Knick the lot of ‘em

My first thought, Perry!
For those unfamiliar, here's the reference, with the late, great, mate, Gilson Lavis, on drums:

A real blast from the past! That I'd completely forgotten, never mind remembering specific lyrics. I didn't even have a bike licence back then so it definitely qualifies as ancient history. Well done, good memory!
 
Clean bikes, dirty bikes, trailer queens, ridden hard and put away wet.....whatever....we are all still a bunch of old buggers and even in tight leathers what we have in common is....we are still a bunch of old buggers.

Speaking of Honda DAX’s…. I was talking to a bloke that had the Suzuki version of a DAX strapped onto the back of his truck.

Had it since new, rides it every couple of days to go to shops etc. has a crane type setup to get it off and on. In good condition too, considering it lives in the elements.

I’ll have to google that to refresh my memory as to the model….. RV125 🙄 dickhead
 
Have a look here,

112 hp std in the book but 85 on the rollers, Gave 147 after mods,
Head porting,
Valve seat angles changed
Twin carbs and manifold all matched,
Tubular exhaust manifold matched to head.
CR upped to 8.7:1 up from 7:1
Modern head gasket

Jules

PS. Needed to add a Jag XJ6 Clutch as the std clutch slipped as soon as we gave some welly.

I have a lot of fun with my Dax (1974 CT70) puttering around town, going to motorbike gatherings on occasion. Kids with families in their SUV’s just go crazy passing me, I obviously look like a circus act, but laugh at myself all the time!
As kids out on the farm, our neighbors dad was president of Pepsi-cola Canada, very rich, and his 2 sons got new minibikes every couple years. My brother and I had to share a Keystone minibike out of the Simpson Sears catalog, utter junk compote the little Hondas. My brother and I stared when we could we would get one of these each, I vowed to get a street legal one, extremely rare in my area, most were bought for bush works. When I found one with street papers I. Ought it instantly 15 yrs ago.
