    **** me it was hot in Spain. Except for the bits where it rained. And
    the bars. Many of the bars were nice and cool.

    Anyone important died?

    To business:

    Neighbour has acquired a Brazilian[0] CG125[1]. Nice little thing, it
    is.

    It lacketh a sidestand and the speedo surpasseth all understanding being
    in they there kilometre thingies.

    Any of the resident pack-rats got a suitable stand or MPH speedo lying
    around gathering dust?

    [0] He now believes me to be an authority of all things motorcycling:
    'How do you know it's Brazilian?'. 'All the warning stickers are in
    Portuguese...'.

    It's this water that falls from the sky, right? Lovely, it is. We should
    have it here.
    Really? <Googles>

    Blimey.

    I wasn't sure, but there's definitely a bracket there for one.

    My old CG125 (makes Sign of Holy Pushrods) was AFAIK a Brazilian built
    model, but it was a C reg (1985 IIRC); maybe they decided not to
    bother after a while?

    there's one on the CG in my shed. though to be fair I think its leant
    against the side of the shed, though it could be on the centre stand.
    it got moved when we got the BBQ out.

    don't suppose he wants another one?

    or anyone else for that matter.
