a bloke down the road from me when I was  a kid had a super snipe, the later square shape.  Considered upmarket.  Another bloke in the same street had an all white Thunderbird open top

How can you carry anything on a Honda 50?

i was referring to the Red dwarf bloke

a Honda 50.  The cub?  Not for true mods but interesting

The Honda Super Cub debuted in 1958, 10 years after the establishment of Honda Motor Co. Ltd. The name 'Cub' is said by some to be an acronym of Cheap Urban Bike because the development of this model was aimed to provide a kind of cheap urban transportation in busy cities, but there is no evidence to prove this.. The name more likely refers to other products such as the earlier Piper Cub, an affordable and extremely popular light aircraft from the 1930s possessing many of the same mechanical qualities of the Honda bike (note that improved versions of the Piper Cub were also called Super Cubs)

The Hondels were a US pop group manufactured to advertize it
