    Are there collective scooter/motorcyle ride like for exmaple the classic mini cooper run to brighton every year or somehting similar for bikes?

    I can't go on the motorway becuas ei have a 50cc but still somehting that would involve non motorway rides?

    Used to have Bluetooth earpiece but can't be bothered to wear it anymore. Same as the camera I had on my helmet. The first time it fell off I just stuck it back in box from whence it came.

    Shake down is more of a meet than I ride the ride would be your trip down to the seafront and there will be hundreds coming from London down the a13 I think they meet at ace cafe first then convoy down

    Cool to know! Anyone know how much Bhp a 2001 aprilia mojito custom 50 has? I almost hit 50 today the bike definately had a bit more in it I reckon and I was already doing over 45mph! 50 mph on a standard bike (probs derestricted) isn’t too bad! Any suggestions on how I can make it more powerful but quieter?

    You could stick a turbocharger on it :p Seriously though quieter and more powerful is a big ask. I've always assumed more quiet = less power, more power = less quiet but there's probably a way around that. hp/kW: 2.7/2 are official figures, sounds too low to me though. You could get a 70cc kit if you want more power. If you don't like the noise you would probably be better off with a 4 stroke ped in all honesty.
