"Thass too much skiddin' to a halt, that is!" Little Willie reminded me, as the rear brake can be quite sharp! And, with the MoT due in a week or two, I knew I had to do something about it.
Going on eBay I found a 300-18 rear tyre for £24.95 (P&P £6.99) so I ordered one yesterday afternoon. Imagine my surprise at 08:03 this morning when the tyre rolled up on my doorstep - well, carried by the Royal Mail man! What excellent service, I thought.
For anyone interested in buying one for their Bantam search eBay for a Honda CB125 300-18 tyre from Bike Business, 47-49 Fratton Road, Portsmouth, Hants, P01 5AB, They're certainly worth a look as, obviously, they give a great service! The tyre looks great as well....
"Come yew on, Boy Albie," says Little Willie, "when are ya gorn to fit ut, then?" Time to get my hands dirty over the weekend, I guess! Oh, don't tell LW, but I've also ordered a new battery as well....
