Like most of us, been there done that. Pain in the arse, especially if the tyre has plenty of tread left.

A friends 125 was acting in exactly the same way and it was the CDI on it's way out.

The last one I had that hit the road I gave it to my daughters with a hammer and said make sure no-one else can wear it. Kept them busy for more than an hour.

Signed. Now up to 11,108

Glad you're OK, you're right wearing the proper gear is always necessary, even on 'just a 125'. The first one is always a bit of a shocker so being a bit 'wobbly' after getting straight back on is only to be expected. Hopefully the damage to the bike won't be too expensive. Important point:- If your crash helmet contacted the road in any way you need to get a new one.

Welcome

Glad it was caught on camera. Get the Cnut arrested then sue him for damages.

If you use a second hand helmet you're risking your head. You don't know how the previous owner (mis)used it. As for repainting, absolutely not.

That's mental. Don't they have any rules on their roads or is it just a free for all?

I always use Bridgestone BT45s

That's what happens when you let your concentration drift.

I bow to your greater knowledge oh learned one
