wow theyve got your hands round your ankles havent they.
i was payin 100 for the old ped

i dont see the postcode being much worse than mine (burnley). what usage did you have? im social only

 

p.s, the 125 i could have got insured for 120 quid, but they bent me over for canceling the old policy

 

haha
well i needed to cancel old policy as it was a twist and go only policy, wanted 70 quid to cancel. or 30 if i got my next policy over the phone. robbing gits

 

70mpg this fill up, still not too bad considering its just town commuting

 

hes still got it but has 2 new cars now lol

Hello lads..thought ide pop in and tell ya how things are going with the Roma etc.. New ignition switch..broke..charging...kapoot..front brake switch..burgered..bushes rear brake and 80 kit still not fitted..but hasn't died on me..vision.....indies need wiring and the side panels putting on..coil and carb slide to fit and a bit of petrol and its ready for a kick...g.f,s sons crashed his skyway so that's looking well down with its front stoved in..apart from that...nothing happening bike wise cos of bad weather and work.

 

selling bert? link?

 

oh dear ive been neglecting this havent it lol

yes bert has been sat in my back yard since november, the mx5 has gotten me through winter.
just coming to try and get it back on the road.
got it fired up, pretty easily once some fuel was in the carb (id drained it for winter)
blew the tyres up whilst it was warming up
popped it into gear (knew it would be a pig so had the bike propped up against a wall) and it spat its dummy out, kicked one of the chain tensioners out of its hole. and stalled
hammered that back into shape and popped it on.
took it onto back street to try and free up the rear brake (pretty much stuck on)
will move in first happil, but once its rolling cant change gear (wont neutral either)
rear brake is freeing up a touch


have found out a price for getting the chain and sprockets done and front brake shoes.
but now im beginning to think if its time to move on.
ive been thinking sell this, the mx5 and a spare set of wheels i have knocking about and i should be able to fund a newer 125, or (the one i fancy) a honda zoomer 50cc naked ped

 

haha theres an idea lol

a zoomer just came up local (as they get) and quite cheap on ebay. asked if theyll swap for an mx5

really want one now. loads of mods to do to them

 

dont you dare sell bert! ill cry if you do
