Riding the T100C

This was one of the first rides out after completeing the engine rebuild - I still ahd a lot of work to do to get it right but never the less it rode well and I had a good day around Llyn Brianne in Mid Wales. The terrain is ideal for running on this kind of bike - hills and flats with splendid scenery to match. For anyone wishing to do this run it is best to start at the West End Cafe, in Llandovery (a first class bikers cafe) and then ride up the Towy Valley to Rhandirmwyn - a run around the reservoirs will take you to a twisty c class road that passes through Devil's Staircase (a testing climb whichever way you tackle it) and end in Llanwrtyd Wells for a main road return to Llandovery - must be about 50 miles round trip.

Other then the C have one carburetor and the R having two is the exhaust cam. The C and R have different gears in the transmission as the C was built for on and off road. I have a 1971 T100C I am restoring with matching numbers.

You have a great bike!

In the motor the only difference between the C and R is exhaust cam other then the number of carburetors. Being the C was made for both on and off road use the transmission gears are different on between the R and C. One carburetors gives better torque which you want for off road and 2 gives you more top end.

I have a 1971 T100C I am restoring other then turning the crank I do all my own machine work.

You have a very nice bike. Do you plan on doing any off road riding? I am.
