Welcome,should do,took me on and I have been riding 125,s for 14 years.Did you look at the Honda sh 125 mode.???

BTW I took a little while to block your avatar Ralph, finally choose Ublock Origin so I could select just the gif and block that - I had got the blocker disabled for this site but needs must

For others who also need to do this here's the details:

It's an add on for Chrome and Firefox, once added just right-click on the offending gif, select ublock-origin, pick out the gif that should be highlighted on its own and then move the mouse over to the translucent panel that pops up. This enables you to confirm and the annoying animation then disappears but the rest of the page is as before (minus any adverts that may have also been there.

Lol, a dodgy back/leg was what brought me over to the dark side of Maxi Scooters. Went from a XT1200 adventure tourer to a little 650 Burgman - it is little compared to the XT!
