Kawasaki BX125 Ninja rear pads.

To use a local phrase "He is all cock and ribs like a Zanzibar Greyhound" 

He reckons he can get 70mph out of it but the couple of times I have ridden with him he never got much past 60mph.     I have had a couple of spins on it and it wouldn't go past 60mph with me on it but then again I reckon I am twice his weight.  It's not a pristine example of the breed either.     Hateful thing IMHO, Shadows is a much better bike if a little slower to accelerate.    But talking about 125 performance is a bit like fleas arguing over who owns the dog, as I tell the kids loudly and often

...My old '74 DT 125 saw an indicated 73mph w/ my fat arse on it...I thought I'd won the lottery that day.

How steep was the downhill?

I knew it'd only be a matter of time before our resident Peanut Gallery piped up w/ a wise crack... The stretch of tarmac I did that on was pretty damn flat, I'll have you know.

It was an old favorite that I frequently took most of my bikes on...
