Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

ok guys sold the runner and got a nrg to piss about with whilst the typhoons being done up.

no updates but a little update of whats going on lol

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

why ya sell the runner and how did the wager go

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

the runner was costing too much (like all shit 70cc) so thought it was time for 172 =D

wager ? explain lol confused xD

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

wager is the bet lol im drunk n even i got it lol cmon keep uppp mate wat states the nrg in n wat u pay pls dont say a runnin runner 172

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

a runner with 1k worth of mods and a problem when it idles, sold for 800 and hes having the nrg i think not sure if hes paying for it or breamy px'd it but breamy brought it :thumbsup:

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

I've bought everything bar the engine/wheel/exhaust

Ofc i wanna 172 it so the 70 stuff was no use to me

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

o it was a 70 my bad and breamy y not just buy a 125 rather then goin thru the hassle of convertin a 50 and did u pay 800 for a frame and pans?

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

He's got the resourses and the team to easily convert it like he converted the typh from drum. Plus it would be worth loads to 16 year olds if it was a good conversion. Registered as a 50

 

Re: Joe's Typhoon 125 project =D

No i didnt

It'll be a bike ill be keeping, not selling on to some 16year old, ringers aint good, itll be a propper conversion redged as a 125
