Just joined up.. thought i'd say hi Ive been riding everyday "work n back" for the last 7years. Started in 2002 with stolen rec Suzuki katana for £200, bought for dicking round on but loved the work run on it.. blew up and was replaced with an Aerox 100 late 2002 this was great until i ran it without oil and f***** it. So in 2003 i bought a brand new Typhoon 125.. which i ran for 5years..brilliant bike apart from snapping throttle cables and needing 2sets of forks. So this year it needed its 2nd set of forks for the mot + other bits and it wasnt worth doing, so i sold it on ecrotch for £390. Needed a bike straight away so bought a cheap Aprilia sonic50 "air" locally for £430, everything was fine for 4months until power started tailing off to a point were i had to push it up steep hills.. anyway it was looked at and needed a further £400-£500 spending!! No more of this second hand crap for me..so ive just traded it in for the limited Zip50 RS.
great choice on the bike... now let out the 10 or so horses hiding behind that poo stock barrel unk: :welcome:
:welcome: by the way m8 sounds like it jus need new cltch springs/pads a new set of rollers a new drive belt n speed wudda bin str8 back . buttttt nice bike m8 zip sp for the win i suggest them to everyone for first bikes unless there 6 foot tall lol again welcome
thanx 4 the comments.. had a nosey in photobucket for a few more pics of the old bikes, only find these. i'll dig the aerox and katana out some time. My typ 125 brand new back in 2003 and 2008.. condition had gone down hill sonic, never liked this.. so fookin small :emb:
Always have a gawp over the Zip RS in the lbs, which i reckon might well become another one of their projects And whats up with being 6 foot on a Zip, didn't feel that bad to me...and i'm geting one XD
so what, your 6 ft+ on a scooter in the first place.. if your tall runners are the most uncomfortable bikes to ride.. sholders HURT after half hour. serious pain after an hour.. want to cry after an hour and a half.. literally well, thats what i find anyway. zips are comfy as fuck, a little small but so what. its a scooter, its ment to be small LOL
