Don’t give me too much credit, if my head gets any bigger a 125cc won’t be enough to haul my Bobblehead around 😂

Godspeed;

Have you spotted the Suzuki Address 110cc Scooter...? Seems great value at around £2,400 new.
It's got a 5.2 litre fuel tank size, claimed 135mpg along with a brimmed tank range of 153 miles.

Neat

Cheers Mac, yeh I did have a look at them but the Innova gets 160mpg and though a smaller tank the range is only 30 miles off the address. Good find though. Keep em coming 👍

The SH125 is a nifty little bike and the 2020 version has a petrol tank under the running boards so not only is the weight low down but you also don’t need to open the rear seat to fill up with petrol which means a bag on the rear will suffice for travels.

I’m thinking that something like this would be ideal for a ride to Russia next year

Had to add the obligatory bobble head and ear plugs holder....
( I do remember a very cold ride down to Penzance with a couple of mates one winter. Halfway down we stopped for a stretch of our legs and I passed around a pack of Haribo star mix. One of my mates said after a while that his one was particularly chewy and we found out he’d half eaten his earplugs instead!)

Another rainy day here, so watch out everybody, the paints are back out. :D Anything could happen...

This time it's for you Godspeed. As you can see it's totally awful, and I've made you look like some kind of Confucius on a moped. But it only took a couple of hours of splashing about. I even managed to finish it without cutting an ear off this time.

The great thing about never ever claiming to be any good at painting is that my 'work' consistently proves it.... :lol:

I had a cool covers 3D mesh seat that I kept off a bike I sold so cut it down and stitched it up to make a seat pad for the SH125.
I really like these on the bike to keep your bum from getting wet when it rains also adds a bit of comfort for no real extra weight

I got a couple on my Himalayan and also put one on my Wife's MT07, surprisingly good for comfort too.

Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.
