My first real scare with the NTG—and entirely self-inflicted. I thought the ford would be fine. It wasn’t. The engine submerged, stalled, and took 30 minutes to revive. A reminder: “just a little water” can

Small but important details: steering bracketry, steering lock, helmet holder, and rubber plugs for the front fork rack holes. Every bolt and screw was bagged, sealed, and labelled for months of careful reassembly.

All four Cubs were out for a parts strategy, not a photoshoot. The best parts went on the bike being preserved, good used parts were redistributed, and the worst were scrapped. Four Cubs: one preserved, one ridden daily, two waiting
19 Aug 2016 | Crossing Over
Friday night: Coventry to Fleet, Portsmouth, then the Isle of Wight. Three Cubs, one ferry, and quiet commitment. We rode through darkness, crossed under moonlight, and reached camp at 23:16. Tents up, bikes parked, and

The first photo shows the bike in the seller’s garage in Colchester. Forty minutes later, it was dismantled and packed into a Saxo’s boot. The seller didn’t quite know what he’d signed up for when he agreed to the sale.
