Bike Swap
Me and a collegue swapped bikes today at work, had a quick ride round the depot. He's been riding a couple of years and was quite impressed with my curvy. I however found his bike to be utterly hilarious, I was p1ssing myself inside my helmet. Might get one just for a toy, ride around the house sort of thing...
And he is a Big guy! I'm pretty little and the honda felt like a bmx Oh how I laughed. He's offered me £1600 for mine, and another mate wants to buy his for a grand! Last edited by captainsmelly; 19-08-09 at 08:25 AM. |

Get a CG125 - as much fun, less plastics to break and about £500 should get you one. Insurance-wise, still on L plates, with a SW9 postcode and parking it on the street, my CG125 cost me £135 fully comp - I went fully comp as tpf&t was £120

Re: Bike Swap
Heh when my Trident got written off and my GF wanted us to pop to the shops she insisted I ride us both up there on the back of her CG125, I felt like a circus clown and had to resist going "do do doodily do do doo doo!" as we went!
I think there are photos on Facebook somewhere... |

Re: Bike Swap
I had one of those for a few months in preparation for my test. Some of the best moments of biking went to the lil cbr, i also loved the fact i got well over 180 miles for £5
