Jeez, when am I going to run out of petrol?!
 
OK, so a couple of weeks ago I bought 'Brian the Snail':

I put about £7.50s worth of petrol in when I picked him up...




... having done almost 240 miles he's still showing no signs of running out of fuel!:shock:

Cool or what!:rolleyes:



I've even got used to wringing his neck to go anywhere; though there were a few scary moments filtering at the start when I suddenly realised I can't just roll on the throttle in any gear and expect an instant response.
Man, it's harder to drop down in cc that go up when adjusting your riding style.;)

That looks like a high seat height - how do you mount the bike to get on? ;o)

Those are good tyres, will last a while I'd say.

Perhaps those hideous top boxes were full of fuel?!!? :D

Is it a 125? Gotta be with MPG like that ...

Hey - where's the rear brake?

Is it an automatic?

EH? The rear brake is on the back where it should be. :confused:


Caliper is above swingarm.
