Yes the AJS name was purchased by a chinese company years ago then they eventually partnered up with Honda for the engine and an ex Harley designer, they used to be unreliable a few years ago but they have improved greatly and I must admit it is a very nice ride, not the fastest because it is a heavy bike but for a 125 it will do 70 mph and its more than enough for me to get around town and the odd trip to Coalvile (Leicester) to see my parents.

I agree 100% with regards visibility that's why i was wearing all HI VIZ gear and a white helmet lol and he still did not see me. Unfortunately i can not remember anything after the initial impact so i have also invested in a camera for my bike front and back so god forbid it happens again I will have video evidence for the police. Below is pics of what i was wearing how did they not see me

Update................ On October 21st 2020 at 6:20 am I was riding to work it was dark but conditions were ok, when a large flatbed lorry came out of a side road at speed and clipped me which caused me to spin and ended up wrapping myself and the bike round a tree. The lorry did not slow down and did not stop. I was rushed to hospital for scans and miraculously I had no broken bones just a lot of cuts and bruising and soft tissue damage to my shoulder neck and hip on my left side, the side that hit the Tree. My Bike was a total right off and only one witness other than myself but the police have had no luck tracking the driver down. I believe that the only reason I walked away with with minor injuries was the quality of the Leathers and helmet i was wearing the bike was in bits and the frame bent I think I hit the tree around 25-30 Mph so that helped too. Anyway after a couple of months recovery and physio I got my self a New Bike and she is a beauty. Took her out today and did around 30 miles on it I have not stopped grinning since. (Also new helmet and leathers because i had to replace the damaged ones) New Bike My Previous Bike that at the time of accident was only a month old still new really

You are right and I agree 100% I should have bought it earlier but with the lock down due to covid I could not buy it and could not book a CBT. The first CBT available was this Monday just gone so I took the course then bought the Bike brand new at a great price with 2 years warranty and 2 years breakdown. But I have also purchased fully armoured Jacket, trousers, boots and gloves and it will be only used when weather permits for the commute to work.

Bought myself a new toy. It is only 125cc but I have not rode a bike in over 35 years ??. I needed new transport for work and decided this was the way to go ????
