PK ... He's done it again. He's using those big Australian words that I never heard of.

I had to look this one up. For those of you with lesser intelligence such as I ... here is what it means:

It looks like an older style moped with a fat seat(?) I guess one has to be an afficionado.

It's a Honda CT110, a.k.a. 'postie bike'. A red version of this with higher handlebars and bigger baskets for the mail is what all Australian postal delivery operatives (mailmen) ride. This one has been done up with low handlebars and a number of other touches as a 'cafe racer'. It's just cute to see someone take something so prosaic and turn it into something quirky and cool.

I guess I was being my usual critical self. Didn't mean to offend, the negative is my nature.

[Bravus]

Oh, I didn't experience it as negative or critical at all, Dottie.

I just took your comment as an excuse to talk about it more!

To complete the cafe style racer look I think I'd run a low swept exhaust in place of the stock upswept one. Good looking ride, I'd guess, 50 mpg or so from that single lung four stroke.

More mpg than that if 100% stock, but I'm assuming some engine modifications have been done.

[Bravus]

Yeah, some other friends suggested the low exhaust, but given that it's also a kick-start bike it would probably need to swing under the chassis and change sides, or in some other way leave the kick-start area clear.

And yeah, very cool AND cheap to run/good for the environment! Win Win Win!
