I’m in Newark so the same weather as Julie.
We have a grand-daughter born 10 days ago so are visiting.

Dogs walk (we have four Spaniels between us) Sherwood Forest.

If you have the buckles, you could go to your local hobby shop and see what they have in the way of strapping.

Font size is dictated by the local client. That means your browser or phone.

I always have mine set to large so that I can read it without my glasses!

Where I live, it's law they have to sell it to you for the price anounced.


Not so here. However, most large companies will honour an advertised price unless it is clearly ridiculous and a genuine error.

Contract law in the UK is actually the other way around.
A product is advertised for a price.
You “offer” to buy it at the advertised price but the seller doesn’t have to accept your contract.
Makes for great questions in accountancy exams (I’ve done a few)

My room mate at uni had a CB360 (G5).

It was horrible and a money pit.

Somebody in Hondas R&D in the late 60's worked out you got a slight increase in power with it fitted


Clearly a phone thing...

Bryan, have you got “convert characters to emojis” set in your PC?

From what I recall, they were identical to the 125, but with 25cc less.

I learned to ride on a CB100 on the car park of Bedford County Council offices in 1974.
It was an RAC/ACU scheme, off road for 16 year olds. I had a Raleigh Runabout at the time.

At 17, I went for a “much more powerful” CB125S

“Last year” is a minimum of 12 months sat with fuel in the carb. It will probably be sludge.

We do have a For Sale section.

Better to post about what you are looking for. We are excellent at tracking down deals (and pretty good at spotting  junk)

And welcome.

Referring back to one of your earlier posts Ted (another topic), there’s no apostrophe in “Audis”

[pedant mode off]

However, I do agree with you about modern usage. If everyone knows what you mean, why the hell does it matter if a few 1960s grammar rules are binned

That’s a CG125. My sister had one in the 70s

RY125-7 is presumably one of the Brazil/China copies.
