Fuck me it was hot in Spain. Except for the bits where it rained. And
the bars. Many of the bars were nice and cool.
Anyone important died?
To business:
Neighbour has acquired a Brazilian[0] CG125[1]. Nice little thing, it
is.
It lacketh a sidestand and the speedo surpasseth all understanding being
in they there kilometre thingies.
Any of the resident pack-rats got a suitable stand or MPH speedo lying
around gathering dust?
[0] He now believes me to be an authority of all things motorcycling:
'How do you know it's Brazilian?'. 'All the warning stickers are in
Portuguese...'.

My old CG125 (makes Sign of Holy Pushrods) was AFAIK a Brazilian built
model, but it was a C reg (1985 IIRC); maybe they decided not to
bother after a while?

He was asking me about 125s just before I set off on me hols and I was
going to put him in touch with you when I got back. Impatient bugger
came over all 'Ebay' in my absence.
