Not a happy bunny, just had half of our ridge tile (concrete) blown off in a bug gust and thrown down onto the back garden and one has smashed directly into the tank of my CG125 Evil or Very Mad It is in pieces and with no front wheel currently attached as an ongoing project before I sell it soon.

It's left a hefty fit-sized dent in the top which I am not sure will pull out and the paint has flaked off all around it as well. If it does pull out I'll need it respraying and I presume new decals which will be hard to source for a 23 year old bike! No matching tanks on eBay ATM, one in Bristol but it from the later BR-K and not a BR-J so has different decals on it.

I've seen sense and moved the CB500 onto the road, removed the top box and placed it securely on the side stand and up against the kerb. I just hope it doesn't fall over though because I've nowhere else that is safe to store it.

Damn, that sucks.

I've left mine chained to a pole outside my house as the back garden is a death trap. Our fence panels have blown out, bins blown over... not worth it.

I've got a red Brazil CG tank if you're interested £35 plus postage, though it has been repainted red, and has a random Honda sticker on it, it isn't dented to fuck. Thumbs Up

That wasn't necessary. A bit of hard work and it would've buffed out

Beat me to it. Although mine has no sticker, has been repainted black with no lacquer.


Edit: OP, what do you want for the dented one?

Maybe £10 plus postage or you can collect from Crewe.
