    Hi,

    Boss's son decided to not stop at a T-Junction yesterday morning.

    He's alright, but the CG's front end is not to dapper....

    Anyone seen anything like these recently in a local breakers yard ?

    Parts required for a Honda CG125 (2004 model - ES)

    2 front fork stanchions
    Top & Bottom Yokes
    Front Wheel

    Heh, I did suggest that, but the poor lad bought it new in 2004.
    Honda (Abingdon) want around £700 for the bits new.....

    I'm not sure I like them - they always seem to get rave reviews in Ride -
    but every time I've been in there they've seemed utterly indifferent and
    their clothing section was verging on useless...

    Actually I don't seem to do well at most bike dealers - maybe it's me.

    Abingdon Motorcycles were actually taken over approx 2 years
    ago by some flash guy who owns an Audi dealership in Chelteneham.
    Steve the previous owner was ok, Stuart who worked for him and still
    does work there is the only one with brains and knows his stuff.

    Two mates who have recently purchase new Blade's got the best deal
    when trading in older blades from them so i suppose thats some sort
    of recommendation.

    Are you sure he needs these? If they're bent then I'd have thought
    they'd be a lot more damage.

    Well sure, but I also base my opinions on the rest of the service - okay you
    can get a cheap bike, but would you take it there after that?

    I am quite happy to accept though that there is a good chance it's something
    to do with me - attitude/whatever. Perhaps also because I look scruffy and
    therefore couldn't possibly have £8K burning a hole in my pocket.
