She knows that but I don't think the gravity of the situation has hit her yet, not sure she will be able to get insurance. Her boyfriend (18) had a smack last year and his premium is £200 a month now.

Her insurance premium isn’t going to go down anytime soon.

If anything it is worse now. Plenty of time to strip the valve cover and check out the timing chain definitively but I don't think it's that. I'm not going to touch it until I hear from the insurance people. Don't know if they will want to inspect it or not. EIther way I want to strip the forks and check the headstock before she goes out on it again. They look okay but I want to check them off the bike. . I don't know if they will cancel her insurance after a claim or not. I have told her to be prepare for weeks not days off the road. Give her time to get her head straight. Luckily she can walk to work, will put a crimp on her social life though. Needs new handlebars, levers, indicators and paint. Doable but getting tedious now. Bought her this earlier today bit late I suppose. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183006815366

I wonder if it has fixed the rattle?

I've had better days, but she is home safe which I will settle for.

It has rails that sit under the frame and a couple of stabilising hooks, the Harley has a double cradle frame, you can get different mounts for different types of bike.

Doesn't sound like you had a good day ... but at least she's ok, If nothing else she should learn from this. Getting a call to say your kid has been involved in an accident must be the worst ...

So where are you then?

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 .

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
