Pinned. No mercy, ever! Japs never gave us any mercy building the bridge over the river Kwai, why show them any? ;) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously, carrying 23.6 litres of fuel, I held mine pinned, for over 400 miles, never stopping, never letting off.

Hi yes i have seen the write up.So if my engine blows up using your advice can you pm me your address so i can send a knackered engine for you to rebuild 8-)
I have noticed when on the limit the engine sounds like a bag of marbles but sometimes it just goes into warp drive and runs so so smooth.shame i cant miss out the marbles and just go into warp drive,i wonder what causes this phenomenon??
Anyway guys thanks for the response to my post, just have to find out how to fit a honda genny tank to my bike and get some CB125 rear shocks.
Regards
Ps im hoping to come to the Norfolk C90 club meet

I keep looking at Feked shock absorbers (universal, fitting list states CG & CB 125 etc) would be good to play around with the logo too! :D
