Chain Guard shocker!

    Mornin' all.

    Today I was proceeding along Crofton Lane in a Westerly direction enjoying
    the crisp sunshine, when a loud clattering sound announced the departure of
    the upper chain guard from my steed (makes sign of Holy Pushrods). I stopped
    hastily whilst pronouncing various Holy Words.

    On retrieving said chain guard, I hobserved that due to an habsence of
    screws[1], a previous crack and general bumrattling vibration of the single
    124cc 4 stroke piston whose horigins time hath forgot, ye upper chain guard
    had verily snapped in 'arf.

    Which leads nicely to the point of my post.

    1) Would it be a damn silly idea to attempt to araldite said cover back
    together?

    2) Are there any third party suppliers of Honda chain guards?

    3) Does anyone know of any bike breakers in the Saaf Lundun/Surrey/Kent
    area?

    In the meantime, I shall be annointing followers of the One True 125 with
    copious lashing of Holy Oil....

    [1] Orright. Where do I sign up to the Clueless Numpty list?

  2. On retrieving said chain guard, I hobserved that due to an habsence of
    Why dont you just rivet a piece of metal onto the back of it where it
    has snapped. You can get a large piece of metal used for welding car
    bodies etc from somewhere like Motorists Discount centre for about £3
    a square foot. Cut it to the right size and rivet it the the damaged
    chain guard. If your that worried about the looks you can paint the
    rivets black.

    Failing that cut a bit off the bbq that is rusting in the back garden
    'cos its winter now, it'll be the right guage metal too.

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, sweller
    I would normally call down a jihad at this point, but I've looked at
    your website.

    You've suffered enough.

  11. Doing The Sign up your arse is presumably worthy of a TCP nomination.
