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!

Little 125's are great - as you say, BMX's

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 :)

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 :D

My Mrs has one of them.... they will never break

Re: Bike Swap
 

Thought that would have been a good excuse to get another stinkwheel instead of a slug?





(Aye , I edited out the never break bit;) :))

Re: Bike Swap
