How does it connect / link to the bike frame? I bought one of the lifts which go under the sump a couple of months ago. I had intentions off cutting it in half and extending it so I could wheel the bike on and lift it compete ... haven't got around to the surgery yet so just put a plank on it and lifted the bike on that.

What a fucking day, just got back from MIU with Shadow. She rear ended a car and went over the handlebars. Badly bruised shoulder and in a bit of shock but fundamentally ok, thank the lord she had all her protective gear on and had luck on her side. I don't know what's up with her at the moment that twice in two days, normally she has been a careful and safe rider but the last couple of days I don't know. Yesterday she hit gravel in the rain so there was mitigation but today she was stone cold 100% to blame. Bike is fixable as is the car she hit but she is going to be off the road for a few weeks at least. All reported and insurance details exchanged so we have to wait and see what happens next. I have had better days.

I wouldn't know but it's a quality bit of kit. My Mrs bought it for my boy at a garage sale for £10, then took it away from him but I can't remember why.

I think it is a rebranded Moulton.

I was given it at work years ago when I had a Sukida SK125 which was an exact chinky copy of an old CG125. There were 3 of us with Identical bikes one was a Sukida another a Yamasaki and the third was a couple of years older called a Hongdu. That lad with the Yamasaki got a new seat under warranty and gave me that one. Here's the video I made to sell it after 5 years of use. Cost me £700 delivered in the box did 8k miles commuting then sold it for £400. !00% reliable in that time. Not bad for chinky chonky although it was fettled and serviced on the button. I genuinely regretted selling I grew quite fond of it although dog slow, but a genuine 100 mpg.

Didn't Skorpian evolve into Akrapovic ?

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 :)
