My New Toy, Not An Toyota But A 34 Year Old Honda

[Rick D4D]

Back in July I bought an old Chaly (CF70) to restore and now I have done this I thought I would share the results with you all. I have now fully restored the bike very close to original apart form the colour as I dont like yellow much.

This is how the bike looked when I collected it from Halifax

Now the restoration has started

Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome.

Once again nice job.

Once again nice job.

The bike had been stood for 17years, it did run when I picked it up but not great. I spent the 1st day having a play getting it running smoother then about 7pm stripped the bike into 4 large boxes.

Looks superb! Nice to have a hobby which produces results :)

Fantastic work!

It's a shame that I'm not that into bikes because they give big results without too much time (by the looks of it) :)

I was thinking of some "black widow" stickers as a few of my mates have these

That looks really good.

It is nearly as old as my 1968 Lambretta, which I also restored.

Now what a nice job of restoration

Would you like to tackle my P6 (see my sig)

[Bizarra]

Totally brilliant job, Rick She looks as though she was just out of the Showroom Now & should be worth quite a few bob to a collector

Les's video is totally true to life. I, in my misspent youth had a 500 Norton. I was going home & saw a friend thumbing it. Naturally, I gave him a lift on the pillion. At the end of our 100+ mile journey, he was literally frozen into a sitting position like the Scooter passenger.

Thanks, I now have some better rear shocks fitted and have bought some alloy wheel rims, so I am having the hubs sprayed red. I will post some pictures when this is done ;)
