Little test run before I take it to the Pyrenees

Yeh .. I said I was going to Rhodes .. you twat

I got a seat off eBay some time ago when the boy had an old cg125. That had Yamasaki on the side too.

I know that feeling well

Wtf is a Yamasaki ? or is someone having a laugh ?

All I know about Scorpion is it's not the same exhaust as Skorpion that used to be around years ago ......

That looks like Rhodes Town .

Twat

I got a few quid burning a hole, but I am tempted to save it towards another bike. Or the Mr's will want something. Need to get of the net really, plenty to be doing but no enthusiasm

It's a Branded Land Rover push bike. Apparently they are valuable according to my Mrs. Whether we get anything for it or not is up to her I don't care. I may find another home for it, it's more barn find condition and I can't see why anybody would want it but then again I'm not a Land rover freak.

When my boy had one it suffered a common fault with the clutch basket drive cog splitting. Was never a prob but drove me nuts to the point I had to replace it.

Enjoy.

That's an odd looking push bike

To be honest as long as it's not anything that leads to mechanical doom I do care that much. Shadow can get used to the noise. Tis a tiny air cooled single always gonna have a noisy motor one way or another. I am pretty relieved it's not coming from the engine casing just the same, thanks for the tip, I don't know why I didn't think of it, I saw my dad doing it often enough back in the day. I will see if I can source a stethoscope or just buy one from Machine Mart as Buckster suggested.

How long does this retail therapy go on for? Exhaust does fit the bike nice.

Could be the old spot weld come undone in the exhaust. Good hunting.

Wow, another inappropriate B.O.T.M. submission :)

@Clive just moored up

Well finally got my old shed cleaned out with a fresh roof on it so I have somewhere to work on my bikes. Did the roof yesterday and all drying out nicely in there today despite pissing down all night. So no reason not to get on with the jobs in hand now. I think I will get the service done first then move onto the fork seals after. Found this while cleaning the shed out Also be under no illusions the shed is rotten in places, could be fixed and I may during the summer I have plenty of wood around to do it. Being arsed is the factor. Be a lot cheaper than replacing it. Smells pretty funky in there hoping that will go as it dries out. I bought the shed 20 plus years ago to keep my R100RS and R100R in. Obviously no work benches then. I got a photo somewhere.

He will probably think twice before driving like that again. Deserved all he got

Just been out checking with a screwdriver as you suggest and that rattling is not coming from the engine. I have tried all over the motor and gearbox and all I hear is mechanical whirring noise as it should be. No rattles at all in the casing as far as I can tell. Shadow is off to Truro in a minute but I will strip the panels off later when she gets back and look for something loose, the rattle is sort of metallic so should narrow it down a little.

Toying with getting one of these for my Hornet. Anyone any experience of them?

Yeah the CBF125 is a weird looking arrangement not like a normal tensioner.

Worked for me.
