    Ill Give you a little story :) I had a Sym DD50 For my first ped Didnt have a clue wat was best ped at time and fort ye great a scooter is a scooter, Anyways i had that for from May 2011, got knocked off within 3 weeks of been on road as a freind tried overtaking on a corner on the INSIDE. I ended up in hospital with smashed knee and still fucked at this moment in time nearly a year later, and the bike luckly just had scratches so i sprayed it,

    A couple month later i was riding home and got stuck in Traffic edging forward and stupid woman driver waving at her friend on pavement while accelerating her audi and didnt notice i stopped and boom hit back of my bike (It was small weighted 75kg) as I was unaware wat happened The bike wheelied and i feel flat on my back and bike bouncing around. Below is some Pics of bike after..

    She Said to the police she hit me at 5-10mph ill let you judge after the crash and all her front end was in a million pieces!

    bike 8.jpg bike 7.jpg bike 6.jpg bike 4.jpg bike 3.jpg bike 2.jpg bike 1.jpg

    Just re-looked at pictures and doesnt look as bad as i fort but here is the damage to best of my knowlage; Left Brake lever snapped, Headlight smashed, Mudguard Snapped, All side panels fallen off, Seat bucket in 2 bits, Right hand indicator smashed off, Reg in 3 bits, Rear light cover in a million bits, Stuff you cant see the rear wheel got shunted into engine and snapped gearbox and was leaking oil everywhere, and frame bent

    By the way I came away really lucky to be honest, I Had Whip Last, Torn Ligaments in neck, Left shoulder part dislocated, Knee fucked bit more, Left hip clicking, Cuts n grazes on back and bad bruising. May sound bad but they said i was lucky not had broken Back or neck.

    Here is a pic of the back for you Interested ones :p
    Back Cuts.jpg

    Left side of my back and right side is bruising and centre of spine is bruised and 2 cuts

    After this it didnt put me off riding a bike, so i went and got a piaggio zip as i knew wat Scooters were best and tunable ect.

    So i got it and was 54 plate with 4000km on clock, Full year mot n tax, Was in great condition but fully standard so i got the bike sick of doing 30mph so day later fully derestricted it and got bored of that so not long after i got;

    Athena 70cc Big bore kit
    Polini High Speed Variator
    Gianelli Extra Chrome Exhaust
    5gram Rollers
    TNT 21mm Carb
    K N Air Filter

    so here some pics of the bike and how it stands at the moment:
