Im the new kid

[Mishelly212]

Anyway, thought i'd get to know you guys coz im almost certain i'll need your help at some point in the near future. Im 16 and at the moment i ride a 50cc chinese moped (not out of choice, its just all i can ride at the moment). Well my uncle (Rictus) gave me his SV to fix up, so that wen im 17 i can ride that. Hopefully with the help of my dad, uncle and you guys, it should be done over the summer.

Althought i am only 16, please don't take that as an opportunity to sterotype me as a reckless chav on a moped, like i've said before, the moped is the closest thing to a motorbike i can get at the moment, and im no chav. I have more fun laughing at them than being one.

So yeh, to sum it all up.

Hiya guys

[sarah]

[Luckypants]

Like Uncle, Like Niece :)

Welcome to the group, as said before, if you listen to your uncle (and I do) you wont go far wrong.

Just try and keep all your toes, and tho his knee brace is kind of cool, probably best avoided too :)

[Steve H]

Welcome. Do you like cheap Cider? ;)

[Rich]

Hey another youngen!!! :cheers:.. I'm 18 and they pick on you terribly here, don't make you feel welcome at all.. ;) only joking.. Everyone even if they don't know what they're on about (like me) will try an help you out here. Good luck with rebuilding the SV!!!!

[Alpinestarhero]

Hello

A restricted SV when your 17 will be awesome, you'll be the envy of all your mates. All I had was a 100cc speedfight. Beasty!

Matt

[Mishelly212]

WOW i've never been on a forum where i get so many replys so quickly.

Thanks guys.

Erm
Baph - i always wear gloves not only because they look cool but also because i've been taught by the best and know that ur hands are the 1st thing to go down in a crash

Steve H - Erm im a good kid so i don't drink, and wen i do, i dnt like cider

1RichSV650 - ahh the thought of being picked on!! who cares anyway.

can someone tell me how you get quotes because i kinda cant figue it out??

[Mishelly212]

Hey Matt, (i know to call you your real name because my uncle told me that he doesn't like people who call you by your profile name when they know your real name)

but yeh, i mean the people in my school think a scooters kool, i don't think theres ever been a real motorbike on the site!

One of the teachers rides a BMW C1, (that stupid thing with the roof)
and i laught at her, its so funny. im like 'i just wanted to know when your going to get a real bike'

[Filipe M.]

Hit the quote button on the reply you want to erm, quote, or alternatively hit the "+ button to collect a few quotes along a thread and then hit quote on the last one. Hope this has made some sense!

And welcome, btw!

[Mishelly212]

[quote=Filipe M.;1222546]Hit the quote button on the reply you want to erm, quotequote]

kool, thanks

[Mishelly212]

damn it didnt work??

[Filipe M.]

You missed a [/ in the last tag, as in [/quote].

[Mishelly212]

Hit the quote button on the reply


ok i think that worked

thanks a lot

i feel stupid now because i cnt even quote summin, ha ha, hmm

well it kinda totally contradicts me asking not to be judged because im young. beacuse i've just proved that i am infact young and stupid

[SoulKiss]

LOL - nah you just dont sit monkeying out HTML all day like us old folks :)

We just come from a prehistoric age where if you wanted to tell the world about your days you sat down with Notepad, wrote lots of funny code involving too many < and > symbols and then used something called FTP to put the files on a webserver somewhere.

Nowadays thats called Myspace or Facebook :P

Being stupid is not listening to good advice - and that doesnt seem to be the case :)

[stewie]

Awright matey, welcome aboard :)

[Wideboy]

ahoy hoy!:smt023

[TT Dee]

How do young 'un

Welcome and all that jazz :smt039

[Lozzo]

Hi and welcome. Good choice on the moped, they're all worth less than sod all after a year, so may as well spend as little as possible to start with.

You'll love the SV when you hit 17 and pass your test.

[ArtyLady]

Hi - welcome aboard :-)

(youre younger than my youngest - that makes me even more of an ancient relic! :( :lol: )

[LouLou]

Hello and welcome :cool:

Just cos you didn't know how to quote something doesn't make you stupid...I'm oldish (29, too close to 30) but incredibly stupid at times so I should know :D

[Beenz]

Welcome to the .org

Most of us are a tad daft, some more than others.:smt026

Have funand enjoy the bike, does not matter what it is.

[Lozzo]

I'm oldish (29, too close to 30) but incredibly stupid at times so I should know :D

God, you're really old...that's ancient

I'm 45, what does that make me?

[Spiderman]

Can you have a better name-drop than Rictus to get on the right side of this forum?

So a noobie who aint really a noob but "guilty by association" lol

Welcome, enjoy. Hope to see you in frith st some day and hear some embarrasing stories about Mark. ;)

Whats frith street?? is it like a bike meet??

i have actually been to a meet at soho once, but that was only becasue mark had broken down and me and my dad had to go pick him up, so i didnt talk to anyone.

And i wouldn't dare say anything embarassing about mark, one because if he has done something embarassing i don't know about it. And 2 im not allowed to be nasty to him as technically the SV is his so i need to be nice :)

[Wideboy]

A OAP haha sos i couldn't resist

Nah your ok to say anything about Mark.

We will have heard about it already - hes usually the first to say about anything like that :)

[Mishelly212]

I still wouldnt say anything embarassing although im sure mark wouldn't think twice about anouncing my embarassing moments. But i guess that wot uncle's are for, they embarass you and you can't in return. But how many other people do you know who's uncles would give you their motorbike and not laugh at you for riding a moped (well he did until he rode one)

[Law]

Hiya and welcome.

So you weren't tempted by your unc's scooter then?

[Mishelly212]

So you weren't tempted by your unc's scooter then?

Well its a 125 so i can't ride it till im 17 anyway which defies the fact of riding the SV, and also hes giving that to my cousin (his son) who can ride it.

[BILLY]

Hello:cool:

Sorry, that was a joke because of the chav comment. Just forgot the smilie.

So will you be attending the Soho, SELKent and Guildford meets with your uncle when you pass then?

[ArtyLady]

I'm 45, what does that make me?

err......younger than me! ;) :lol:

[ArtyLady]

A OAP haha sos i couldn't resist

Watch it sonny boy, hes younger than me! :rolleyes: ;) :lol:

[Lozzo]

Watch it sonny boy, hes younger than me! :rolleyes: ;) :lol:

All of a sudden I feel positively youthful.

i don't know yet, he has said that one friday i should come to the soho meet, but that would be on my scooter, so i'd be laughed at

[SoulKiss]

i don't know yet, he has said that one friday i should come to the soho meet, but that would be on my scooter, so i'd be laughed at

Nah, well stash the scooter and pretend you came on someone's pillion :P

Only joking, bring what you have, its being there that counts.

We dont laugh at the ones that turn up on Triumphs, Ducati's or Hondas either :P

[Ping]

Ello! :D

[Mishelly212]

We dont laugh at the ones that turn up on Triumphs, Ducati's or Hondas either :P

I guess thats a good thing as the two bikes thats mark has are a triumph and honda (i think??)

[Ceri JC]

Welcome. :)

[SoulKiss]

I guess thats a good thing as the two bikes thats mark has are a triumph and honda (i think??)

Let me rephrase that for you

"two of the bikes Mark has are a Triumph and Honda"

I think that from the collection of bits and bobs he has, he could probably put another 2 or 3 together :)

[Viney]

Welcome to the site. Great Uncle Rictus is out friend :)

[Warthog]

Welcome! We were all young once and learning on scooters, so no need to be embarassed. As someone said, the only dumb thing here is to ignore sage advice! Work hard to know your SV mechanically, and when you turn 17 you will be the absolute envy of your school mates. I wish I had been that cool at school lol.

[Lozzo]

Welcome! We were all young once and learning on scooters

Speak for yourself, I learned on a Yamaha FS1E moped and then a Beckett tuned 110mph Yamaha RD250E - I wouldn't have been seen dead on a scooter.

[ArtyLady]

Surely the equivalent of a FS1E, Moped, etc, is now the Scooter? (or Ped I have heard them referred to by my kids) I dont think it matters nowadays we are all on two wheel - 'spect to anyone on any sort of motorised 2 wheeler :cool:

[rictus01]

Hi hun, welcome in, see they don't bite (well some do but only by invertation.)

pick a night and we'll go find a group to visit, the coke's on me.

Cheers (Uncle) Mark.

The FS1E was the equivalent of today's Aprilia RS50, a full-on sports moped that looked like a shrunken version of a proper bike of the time. Scooters then, as they are now, were complete rubbish.

I'm sorry, but every single scooter rider under the age of 25 that I see round here and on my travels in London has the riding skill of a pregnant hippo on LSD. When they come into the bike shop I work at they mostly appear to have the communication and bike maintenance skills of Neanderthal man. If this means I'll tar all scooter riders with the same brush, then so be it.

At least the young lady who started this thread is on the right track by preparing an SV for when she turns 17 - well done to her.

[Lozzo]

It wasn't a boast, I was simply disassosciating myself from the reckless, brainless and ignorant idiots I see on Speedfights and Typhoons around here.

Look forward to seeing you down at Frith Street soon ;)

[clanger]

Welcome to 'two wheels online', luckily for you, you had a good name-drop or you might not have been received so gracefully. Your uncle Rictus met me yesterday and we went for a ride out to Cheddar Gorge (with about 20 or so other bikes)...and with that dodgy knee too...oooh!
