enjoy the freedom fella , i just clocked up 990 miles in three months riding , think i have washed bike around 100 times to lol , them darn cars make everything so dirty lol ( well thats my excuse )

 

Forgot to add
CBT is a breeze only if you remember the 3 reasons of the CBT and that's safety, safety and safety
Check your "blind spot" (can't remember correct terminology) before indicating and when moving off (especially corners/junctions/roundabouts and when exiting roundabouts) and use your mirrors and anticipate that the road user behind or in front has no clue what they're about to do - everything else should fall into place

 

Give me your address I'll bring it around so you can clean mine you'll only have to do it once a month if that I promise

Thanks for comment

 

lol thats what you get for buying a bike thats had a re-spray. it was a nice blue and silver sym jet basix when the young lady owned it. she sold it to a lad a month before i got it of him, and he had just sprayed the whole thing in black rattle can paint.

this is how bad, he sprayed direct over the clocks , then wiped the wet paint off so you could see them, blacked out the oil - turn - high beam lamps on bars, wrapped a leo vince end can in silver foil ( i mean what on earth) , sprayed the expansion chamber with rattle can paint ( not even high temp stuff) then just went to town on the whole bike all panels blacked over without removing decals , blacked out the brake caliper without removing it, blacked out those front fork legs to. a propper bodge job. but i do have a mind to re-spray in a ford electric orange and also give it a couple shots of diamond clear coat.

so yep you can see why i wash it so much lol

 

You got it yet? Post some pics up please Phil just to see what I'll be buying

Cheers.

 

There you go - slightly late but I've been a little busy - about 30 miles busy after delivery about 12

If you look real close (on the first pic right wing mirror) lol

Lovely jubbly - no issues, very nice to ride (even though I don't have knowledge of other bikes << some will understand)

 

You broke a mirror already???????

 

No the bloody green tag lol

something to do with reordering keys << I missed it on my first ride (about 8 mile)

 

Phew!

 

Now I need a cheap but useable top box - did I say no issues? Damn flip up lid don't fit under seat.

And the nephew who had a pretty decent looking proper motorbike cable lock in the back garden can't find it so that's another spend

 

That's not a major problem, more room for other stuff.
With the top box you'll need the fitting rack as well.
Good size top box 45/47 litres, will be about 40-50 quid used.

 

Lovely that Phil, thought you were getting a White one though or did you prefer Red?

 

He got impatient and wouldn't wait the extra 5 days for the white one

 

The red was ready to go, the white would of needed to order in. I'd already got the gear just missing the wheels and as others have hinted the red is more popular, the white "might" (tough word that) be more "visible" (contentious) so I got the red

Don't ask me to explain anymore - it's hurting my brain trying to come up with reasons and explanations roflmao

 

decals can wait until my bank balance returns to normal

sorry theft prevention and top box are my priorities (just getting the PCX125 was stretching my budget )

thanks for links though

 

saw them online last night...
but I'm 100% certain (even though I've just woken up) same chain online (fleabay and similar) under £30 and if my memory serves me well includes anchor mount etc (which I've already got)

Thanks again - all appreciated

 

Anyone ever owned or know about Biketek Top Boxes?

Found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BikeTek-t...988669?hash=item2cb25cd27d:g:wJsAAOSwXSJXPF0C

 

getting a temp cheap battery powered (because garage doesn't have power) PIR alarm with remote - will upgrade later

As for parking it up - I have disk lock, a spare d lock and will have a chain also for "rough areas"
