Been out washing Devon off the bike. All tucked away now nice and clean. And yes I know washing my bike in the rain is questionable in mental heath terms but the dirt was bothering me

Thanks Lyn, yeah I am fairly sure the yokes from the previous CB125F are a straight bolt on and that would help for sure with dropping the front. It would certainly sharpen up the bikes quite lazy steering. My mate that has the Guzzi has his own workshop with milling machine and lathe plus everything else you could ever want. In fact he used to make custom yokes for BMW Airheads as a sideline for a bit of cash not that he needs it. So fabricating something was also an option for Shadow but she copes well with her bike now, a year and 15k miles experience has made all the difference so the problem has gone away to a degree as she has learned to cope. She wants rid of the CBF now but is to young to do her A2 yet. I could see her getting a sporty looking CBR125R when finances allow, for her. Shadow is very envious of Grace's (family friend) CBR125R. Not something I am getting involved in. She has some health issues at the moment which I can't share on here that have curtailed her biking a little but she is still dead keen nonetheless.

Not really a day ride but popped out for a couple of hours. Ended up at Damerells without really any intention of going this but I was near and needed to have a slash. Anyway had a look at what they had in stock. Had my Hornets twin in stock and a really nice VFR but not much else of interest. Washed the CBF off when I got back. Ended up only covering 60 miles. Better than nothing

Meh, one of many, made in India. Not got a downer on that but it's all about price.

No doubt

I’ve had a weird fascination with getting a Hinckley Triple for ages. I’ve done a fair bit of research and have a rough idea of the trouble I am getting into. .

Really sorry to hear that Lyn. You have my thoughts and sympathies.

Bought a new project today. Being delivered next Wednesday

Shadow (my daughter) is 5'1" and she is coping with the lowered/cut down seat. She is on standard shocks on the lightest/lowest setting. Still on her tiptoes but she is managing. Even with the seat lowered you don't gain that much as the width of the bike does splay you legs a little. We didn't get shorter shocks in the end but they are available from ebay, may be worth a punt for you, they weren't that expensive maybe £30 or so. Sorry but that is as far as we got.

You can buy a complete single bike trailer here for around £700, not sure of the conversion to canabucks, but still much cheaper to buy a decent frame and turn it into what you want here.

I am going to convert it to a single bike trailer. Gonna clean it up, paint it, get a storage box, ramp box, tie downs, reflectors, lights and should be ready to use. With what I paid for the trailer should be all ready to use for around £250 which is not to bad.

It's a better shot than the one you put in BOTM.
