Smile UK Honda NC30 and the 848

The NC30 had a couple of deep scratches on the belly pan when we bought it a couple of years ago. We've just got round to finding a good painter and having it repaired and the bike is near enough showroom condition now Took a couple of pictures of it alongside the 848 last night, they couldn't look much different from each other if they tried!

I don't think you'd actually be able to tell what bike it was with the pair of you covering it

My old NC would get the hump at taking one of my little sisters on the back, never mind a fully grown bloke!

I once went on the back of an RGV 250, never again

Was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever had the misfortune to be sat on.Too high up and perched on a postage stamp and I don't think I did the handling much good either.

Me and Couch tried two-up knee down on a mates RGV. Couch got his knee down, then it bottomed out, hit the road, slid, gripped again and we pulled over It actually cracked part of the frame it had such a big jolt! Never again...
