    I was beginning to wonder why TOG did that. I can't see it being
    laziness as it's just as easy to copy the URL from the address bar (and
    maybe trim out the category bit).

    It must be a Mac shortfall, that or TOG does crazy banking beliefs with
    URLs: they'll suck your soul out or something.

    That was my first bike too. Blue version, but an L reg also. Got me
    through my test and caused me to have about 5 crashes. Steep learning
    curve!
    Where are you now HKL42L?

  6. That is nice condition. I was looking at it and thought it all looks so
    familiar, then I realised it is because I used to have a Honda SL125. I used
    it for travelling to work, enduros, trail biking and trail bike trials.
    Probably the best value I have ever got out of 60 quid.

  7. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    You sick person. You know where that'll lead, don't you? Down the road,
    you'll be buying ShiteOldUrals and selling yourself to keep them on the
    road.

  8. Just got it home. If anything, it's even better than it looks in the
    photos.

    It's lost a tiny bit of paint off the bottom of the frame under the side
    panel - acid fumes from a misrouted or missing battery breather is my
    guess.

    It runs like new.

    It came c/w original warranty book, toolkit, owner's manual and even an
    original brochure.

    The tyres have got to come off as they're geriatric. Called round my
    local dealer, on my way home, with it still on the trailer, to order a
    pair of decent tyres (as opposed to Taiwanese YingTongiddleiPos) and he
    walked round and round it grinning, and said: "That's just right, that
    is. You've done well there."

    Charming little bike and, IMHO, the perfect foil to the 400 Four.

    Drain it of fluids and have it where the TV sits. You can spend the
    rainy evenings watching it :)

  10. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Tim
    The way he's gibbering on about it, he's more likely to fill it with
    fluids. IYSWIM...

    Oh yeuk and I have to go and read that shortly before going to bed. If I
    get nightmares it's all your fault.

    Actually, at this rate I suspect the Doctor might drain *him* of
    fluids and put him where the TV sits.
