The grease nipple era is already upon me!

Can I see blinkers on your C(A)110. I didn't think US bikes had them.

The C110 is certainly not fast by today's standards but the 'pogo' suspension makes life exciting!

Wait 'till the time comes that you need grease fittings for all your joints!

I can have almost as much fun on my Sparta moped, and don't have to worry as much about my hip or knee giving out whenever I stop! It's just not suitable for mixing with traffic.

I don't remember having any problem keeping up with local traffic on the 110 though. It may have been a 4 speed trans, though I'm not sure about that.

I don't remember any blinkers,.... I think the photo is just poor quality.

G-Man and brewsky,

Not to hijack the thread, but have either of you heard from LOUDMOUSE since those devastating floods in Kerrville TX (July this year)?
I’ve PM’d him months ago, but no response.
Thanks.
