Well my first scooter was an A/C Peugeot speedfight 50 X-Race. Yellow and silver. I loved it! De-restricted it was good for 50mph. Downside was the rear Drum. I don't like drums. I had this scooter for about 6 months when Some blind old Git "didnt see me". Sorry Coffin Dodger, But how can you miss a YELLOW moped with head lights always on. Cagers! :wtf: So the insurance paid me £1800 for the scooter, £500 for my Dainese Helmet and Jacket. And £500 for the great big gash in my arm (Through a textile jacket). I was also allowed to keep the scooter. Which I broke for parts on ebay. Out of my money I bought another 50cc Air cooled Speedfight. In the old WRC colours. This was my "moding" scooter, when I was into sound boards and Neons. *Rolls eyes regretfully*. I had this scooter about a month and then I bought a 100cc Lump from ebay and Put it into my 50cc Speedy. Topped out at about 60mph. I had a girlfriend who lived in Sidcup. 20 miles away from my house. I used to go see her on it most days. And during the summer It head seized on the way to her house. I gave it 10 minutes at the side of the A2 and it started again. I stopped in at a Garage and bought some 2 stroke, chucked it straight in the tank with the petty, so it was running extra oily just to try and limp it to hers, then home again that night. To cut a long story short, I ended up pushing it. I sold that for spares / repairs on Ebay for £500, and for £650 I bought this. This was a Speedfight 50 Liquid cooled. It really was a nice colour in the nightfire red and Silver. But it didnt stay like that for long. I put street bars on it and it became my wheelie machine. The spec as follows: MHR 70cc Big bore kit Malossi uprated crank Malossi Multivar Malossi Delta Clutch Malossi 4.5 & 6g mixed rollers Malossi Kevlar belt DR Big bore reed block Malossi Gear up Kit Dellorto 21mm Carb K&N Filter Technigas RS70 handmade pipe Polini Boost bottle (what a waste of money that was) There were a few other bits but I got rid of this like 2 years ago so memory is vague. After I had an accident attempting a one handed wheelie, The pannels were all battle scared and it needed a makeover anyway. I went for black and gray so the seat, Wheels etc all matched. It took me 4 days to respray the bike and get everything perfect. It had a top speed of 71.2mph via Digital speedo. In the mean time, I bought myself a speedfight out of the free ads. A well off family bought it for their daughter. They got it home (it was brand new) and she got on it, and crashed it into the family car on the drive way, breaking her ankle. They wanted rid of the scooter so I got myself an 05 plate Speedfight II with 15 miles on the clock for £700. Sounds alot but I put it on ebay and it went for £1100. So I made myself £400 out of it. Was restricted so topped out at 31. lol The next bike I bought was a 1984 Honda XL125 Trail bike. It was a superb bike. reliable, fast enough, Big. A bit dated, but still a good bike. Afraid Ive got no photos of it, if you look for Honda XL125 on ebay/google you wont find one that looked like mine. it had been converted to Plastic enduro mud guards, renthal bars and jacked up. Was an animal. It had the wrong gearing on it though, 6th gear was un-usable. Not enough torque for it. it needed dropping a tooth on the front really, but I never got round to it. so in 5th gear it managed about 70mph flat out. imp: In the mean time I bought myself a little 2 stroke toy. Mines the R1, The Ninja belongs to my Manager Rob. We race them round the Carpark at work. Top speed of 35mph indicated by a mate riding beside me on a moped. I then bought the Gilly ICE which was originally for my little sisters 16th. Shes still not 16 yet and we have decided she will be better off with something with a little more under seat storage. So Im probably going to have the ICE and 172. Ive had 70kmh out of it today on the flat. This sat in my garage for months on end until today when I got it out and got it running. 2 months ago I passed my Bike test and bought myself an NC29. Its a 1990 model. Straight through Twin Blue Flame Stainless exhaust system. Rolling roaded at 60bhp. Top speed of 130mph. 0-60 in 4 seconds. This is my baby. Its a bit naked at the moment sat in my garage on paddock stands with no fairings on. Ive got new GRP fairings and a new tank going on with a full respray. And possibly an R6 tail unit. Here it is parked beside my dads Toy.
a hell of a lot of speedfights, they all lucked nice especialy the second speedfight, luv minibikes there well fun
Fuck the scooters that's one damn nice NC29. Think i'm going to have to go for a ZXR400 soon as CBR's and VFR's are rare as fook!
It was a lush 29. I bought it off a bird too! imp: I low sided it racing last month and put my ankle in a Cast. The bike is off the road until next week when my new panels arrive. The second speedfight was very appealing to the young`uns. Looking back now I think it is vile. Too many different colours and cheap "Bolt on" mods. I preferd the speedfight 1 when it was Nightfire Red/Silver. I miss the XL too. I used to take it green laneing every day. It was a really good bike.
Yea, I got a bit mad with the Whole Knee down. Heres a a photo of mine and Jims (good mate) bikes back in 2005, and what we ride now. Me with quite a low Knee down Me with Left knee down. And I know its not bike related. But it was among the photos. Heres my old Mini. very cool car, I miss it. 3 subs, Flip out TFT screen, PS2, Components, 3 Amps, Bucket seats, leather rear seats converted from BMW318 rear seats, Sportspack arch kit, spoiler. Metro 1275 Turbo Engine conversion, Spax suspension and Hi-Low adjustables all round, Negative camber kit. VERY fast and very good at handeling.
nice, cbr's cool. need to whack up some pics of mine, ridin 4 years, had - tgb 50 aerox 50 rs50 1999 rs50 2003 rs125 rvf400 nc35 zxr400 hornet 600 xr440 big bore sm cr250 sm rs250 runner 172 runner vx125 runner 125sp on friday still got the 2 runners at the mo, third one soon
No pics of the mini on the move im afraid. I had 5 minis. One of which was the start of a Lotus K-Series conversion. but I saw my CBR for sale and put the mini on hold. I paid £2000 for the purple mini, And spent about £1500 doing it up. I ended up breaking it for parts and cutting it in half to make a trailer out of it because It was rotten through out. :msn1:
