Greetings from Slovakia !

Welcome. Where do you live in Slovakia? About 15 or 20 years ago we had 4 boys from Kosice stay with us for a few days. They were from a boys soccer team that was playing in the USA Cup, a youth soccer tournament.

It's interesting that Honda is still using the 125cc in some markets. Not a lot of difference in power.

You must think you're driving a Cadillac after your old bike.

I live in Žilina. https://www.google.sk/maps/place/%C5%BD ... 6a0a?hl=sk
Košice city is located in east end of Slovakia. But I'm planning to move to Norway.

We have a 125cc boom right now. Some EU states started to legalise the 125cc scooters for owners of standard car driving license. Before you could only drive 50cc mopeds with max. speed of 45km/h. And I'm afraid to get back to the driving school and try to get a driving license for big bikes, because we have really absurd tests and I can lose even the driving license that I already have for a long years. And even If you pass the tests, the policeman attending to the practical tests can expel you even for him having a bad mood. This varies depending to region, but overall, our police feels like they are above law and some even above God

The rattling problem has got worse again. I've experienced a sudden increase in vibrations and noise on the road. I was feeling the vibrations from the saddle and also from the footrest followed by nasty noise, like something in the engine is off axis. I thought that the crankshaft bearing (which I suspect to be the source of rattling) has finally fallen apart. I had nowhere to stop, because I was on a highway so I had to ride for another 2-3 km. But before I managed to stop, the vibrations suddenly stopped and the rattling noise was again as before, but a bit more noticeable.

Max! Lovely photos! Wish I were there instead of peering in me iPad.
Must be terribly disappointing not to be able to Stop the Noise! What a p.i.t.a.

JohnL, no problem. I was just asking. Bush bashing? Maybe it was best you didn't post them

Greetings Slovakia, from Vietnam. I love how this bike is so international. Cobbled streets, mountains, I'm so jealous.

I had a nice time in Vietnam and Nha Trang this February :-) Bought a Yamaha Scooter in Saigon, rode to Nha Trang and then took the train to Hanoi. The train ride was somewhat boring but the rides were nice (and at times very manly, facing oncoming 40 ton lorries leaving me to decide between braking or hitting the ditch).

Oh yeah, and welcome to our Slovakian! Was only in Bratislava for business and ticket all the boxes for a nice two day trip.
