    I'm thinking of getting a geard bike too, maybe a no frills cg125 or something just for getting to work etc etc

    i can't rely on this bike or anything thats been done to it.

    which pisses me off, because when it is working it's great fun and i want to keep it and don't mind riding whatever the weather, time etc.

    I think i'll probably just get rid, and save my money and get all my car shit done then have a decent bike for the summer after i've done my full bike test.

    At the moment im only using the bike if i have to, otherwise it just stays in the shed.

    You have no idea mate.

    Although having my exhaust welded has voided the warrenty, im still going to be taking a drive to the dealer and basically ( in the nicest way possible ) demand a replacement, 4 fucking snaps isn't normal.

    I think my best option will be to ring the scorpion people up again, who were really friendly and offered to help me the first time.

    The mounts arn't even 6 months old yet.

    All i can think of is the different rubbers i fitted onto the bracket as the standard ones fell apart.

    Oh My God!

    Cant believe how much trouble you've gone through just to get this bike running and its still breaking....

    That bikes cursed, get rid and opt for a low maintainance a/c bike (Cough Cough Typh)

    :p

    The bike is now SORN so i don't have to worry about it while i get it running properly again.

    Yesterday i went along the road where the exhaust snapped, and a piece actually fell off it but i couldn't find it, so not being one to give up easily im going to try some of this stuff, i used it on my 100cc karts a few years ago and it worked perfectly.

    Might be hard to understand exactly whats going to happen with that picture but you'll see.



    oh, and on the way home the standard exhaust has cracked :punk:

    too much movement in the engine me thinks, exept the mounts not even being 6 months old and were properly done.
