CG Troubles

Not me but CG Sean.

Apparently, he was going home from work on the A12 flat out and the bike
started to cut out and loose power. He thought that he was running out of
fuel and switched to reserve but all that happened was a general loss of
power with the revs going up and down at constant throttle. Finally, the
thing started back firing with flames coming out of the exhaust.

He stopped in a lay by and waited for someone to come and pick him up but
when they arrived the bike started up and he was able to continue his
journey home.

So any ideas what went wrong with the bike?

I reckon it might be ignition timing as the bike has a recon CDI unit and
perhaps this has started to play up but I'd be interested to hear what UKRM
thinks.

 

Poss overheating problems, check engine oil level.

Fuel starvation, check air vent into fuel tank, located in filler cap.

Doc will surely spend an eternity in boiling 2-stroke oil, at the bottom
of a pit of melted pistons.

You, however, my son/daughter/whatever[1], *you*...

TOG! Surely this disciple has shown devotion worthy of the one true
number? (Makes Sign Of Holy Pushrods)

Such Devotion to the Cause cannot go unrewarded. Serv, please take

A short acceptance speech is generally considered the Done Thing.

The Prophet gazed into his crystal ball. What he saw there did not
surprise him.....

Death, desolation, pain, misery and fleas for The Doctor.

 

Is that a return to the Laverda or the Aprilia.

You know, I miss Doc having a provisional licence and finding 101
reasons why he couldn't take his test. *sigh* I miss lots of things.

 

You mis-spelt "an eternity of Laverda ownership".

<Low obeisance, rending trousies.>Ahem, Your Grace, I am overwhelmed at such
magnanimity. Thank you! A thousand thanks!
I have here a few words which I happened to prepare earlier <pulls out 2
pads of closely written A4, and clears throat>

It gives me great pleasure here today, at the dawning of a new millenia to
be sharing with you my thoughts on lesser known aspects of the Glorious
Steed that is enumerated CG125 <Makes Sign of Holy Pushrods>. Let me give
you the first of two hundred and sixty-five observations on the marvel that
is the Enclosed Chai...urgh!
<hook on stick whisks peon off stage left>

 

That's almost as big a load of crap as the bike itself.

The Prophet merely renounced the evil ways of the Doctor and chose the
path of Purity, embodied in the masterpiece of engineering that is ther
Hond CG125.

<Makes Sign of Holy Pushrods>

Those who embraced its Holiness and renounced the evil ways of the
Stroke Times Two were to be rewarded with praise, and acolytes could, in
time, become novitiates and then full adepts, and these were awarded the
Holy GHPOTHUF numbers.

Meanwhile the evil Doctor, in a bid to bamboozle the world, departed
from the Way of the Stroke Times Two, having striven long and hard for
his full licence, and bought as machine of the Stroke Times Four, to
wit, a Laverda twin.

But as Champion of the Unreliable Rattler, he found that the spirit
moved with him, and Behold! As everyone knew would happen, the Unholy
Laverda proved to be but a Stroke Times Two in disguise, because it
broke down in the first week he owned it, and then roughly every week
following until, with a bang worthy of The Explosive Seizure, it expired
utterly.

Bitter the Doctor is, yea, because he know realises that the forces of
the Prophet have condemned him to life eternal among Unreliable Bikes.

One day he may win atonement and emerge into the pure light of the
Reliable Stroke Times Four, but not yet, my pretty, not yet.

Meanwhile, The Prophet is spreading the word among the faithful with his
next master-weapon - the Holy Honda CD200 benly.
