    nice :) you ever use texaco? always seem damn expensive (kitchens all the way)
    i was told i can no longer park my car at work, and quickly got bored of cycling

    as for my ped, yeah its ok. needs some light tuning its using too much fuel. but for the price i paid its spot on
    only had it about a fortnight and been riding just over a week

    Yeah depends where I run out iv been using that v power nitro from shell garage on rossendale road. Iv had mine for 3months now & put loads of miles on it, fun when it's not wet out. Just gets boring on your own & my mates have big bikes r1 & r6 so it's a no go lol.

    oo lots of questions, ok


    so far im just tidying it up. mirror, rear light, indicator. give it a wash and bought some locks and a cover.

    9400miles not bad for a 7 year old ped

    its only a 50 so struggles with hills :) managed to drag its ass up pendle hill 17mph on the way up :)
    theres a big ride out with the lancashire scooter alliance in july. meet at clitheroe maccys and ride to skipton, planning on tagging along. even if i dont know anyone.

    and its part derestricted, need to decide whether im putting the sports pipe back on or changing the jet/rollers/springs back to standard as its got a standard exhaust on it atm.

    have managed to get 42 out of the old girl down hill on way to work


    oh and it only cost 300 quid :p could sell it on right now and make a damn sight more than that :)

    That's good is it I keep thinking selling mine but as it stands me at nothing & is all paid 4 & so is the insurance. Do you know a lot about bikes would I be able 2 get jets/rollers/springs even tho it's a standard exhaust & what would I gain much & what would it cost about if you know? Cheers

    Its all new to me too :) I think on a standard bike changing them a little bit could help with acceleration and general pick up. But generally you alter them after some mods. Like air filter or exhaust
    but again. I dont know anything about your engine so I could be talking rubbish :)
