Being poor and tyres.

Never ever bodge with your tyres[1], even it it's on a CG125. It'll turn
a nice little bike into an impression of a moto-X bike on mud at every
corner.

Ok, so somehow it passed its MOT, but... it was a lot safer with the old
worn out rear on there.

Tomorrow, the old one is going back on.

[1]By bodge, I mean putting a 2nd hand Indian made front tyre on the rear.

 

Have you ever thought of a change of career?

You've got the makings of being a good courier.

 

The ability to hang on when you're going round corners sideways on a
CG125?

 

You should appeal against the decision as the bike was obviously not fit
for the road!

The tyre doesn't say only for front use, or not for rear use.

 

Not only that but the ability to think nothing of putting front tyres on
the rear, and cheap Indian ones at that. Being a courier, you wouldn't
swap them back but would soon get used to the interesting handling
characteristics.

 

But you did say it was indian!

Heh.. yeh. Point well made.

 

Interesting is a bit of an understatement mate. )) Feels like I've got
rear wheel steering.

 

Nice.
