Micky gets his pills mixed up

And wonders why the suspension mount has snapped..
 
I’m guessing 6v, and if so would there be any reason to go 12v?

Ha well I'm just trying to get my head around the strange wiring system of these early Hondas.!!:blast

At the moment I'm leaning towards a more modern rectifier and possibly using capacitors instead of a battery.
There's much I don't understand fully yet, like since part of the battery's function is to dump power how could I overcome this by using a rectifier/regulator and/or a Zenor diode.

The move to 12v I haven't looked fully at what's involved and what benefits there are.

Electronic ignition like on the CT110 would be nice as it's a long time since I've had to do this :D

Ha ha ..... might be some truth in that :D


Who do Peeps use for insurance?

My usual insurer is Bemoto. They can't give me a quote because they can't find it listed anywhere :D

I have to get back to them when I get it and they'll try to sort something out!

Adrian Flux insure my Campervan.

My problem is that I don't have a garage or a shed and I live in a DN4 Postcode area.

The Camper sleeps on the street, which is a cul-de-sac.
The 'bike sleeps in the rear garden.
Th'e 'bike has an extremely tough ground anchor, another U Lock, an alarm .... but none of them are Thatcham (?) Approved. I have a double lock, and an iron bar that padlocks across the inside of the rear gate. The 'bike cannot be seen from outside my premises and the only people that know it is in my garden are my immediate neighbours.

Lived here forty years and there has always been one or two 'bikes in the rear. Never had a problem whatsoever (he says, touching wood)

The CT125 Hunter Cub is going to be my only motorcycle.

It is less value (although new) perhaps a third of the value of the VW T4 Camper parked on the street. Camper 10,000 miles per year, Honda probably 5,000

Adrian Flux want £125 more to insure the 'bike (when it comes) than I pay for the Camper :blast

Any ideas folks?

Try Carole Nash Select, my quote earlier this year from CN included European breakdown and I didn't want a years cover but they wouldnt remove it. Then they said try CN Select who do non standard policies. Worth a look

Devitt, underwritten by Novitas, £190, garaged, 9 yrs ncb, could not locate the model but they suggested calling it a C125!

Correction - I now see that Novitas have designated it a CT125 C on the schedule
 
That's what I was thinking I'd do, roll it in the house.
 
Thanks folks .... no it wouldn't go through the back door, or even the front.

BUT I did joke when my missis was alive that, when she passed (she had terminal cancer) the room window I would convert to opening doors and the 'bike could be ridden straight in. I'd convert that end of the room to tiled floor and the 'bike could sleep next to a radiator

She said that she believed I would do that ... bless :angel

The room floor is about 12" higher than the concrete outside.

And have a small turntable to spin the bike around, get it done Micky. I think they call it future proofing. :beerjug:
 
We need a DIY SOS team .
I have zero building skills but there must be a few in here who could help Micky change access to get his new toy safely inside ?

Lay on the beer and I’m sure you will have a team of GS pseudo builders banging on the front door …
 
Ha ha .... this is getting out of hand :eek:

There's room once inside that room to spin the 'bike round easily, maybe even ride it round on full lock :thumb2

Work in progress methinks :thumby:

I have a builder pal, hopefully coming to the UKGSer New Year party at Strontian .... I'll ply him with good bier and whisky :D
