  10. Some do some don't depends how they are looked after and stored eg inside or outside
  11. The zontes are proving quite reliable and they are Chinese they also have good strong engines
  12. The Chinese ones have not been about that long I'm sure give it a few years and they will be just as good as any other but at the same time look how much you are paying there ment to be brought ran for a few years and scraped they are a cheep runabout
  13. They said that about jab bikes at one point
  14. Not something you want to do to your paint work only strip the wax off my paint work one or twice a year then lots of wax gos back on top and only wash the car/bike in autoglym shampoo the wheels have there own bucket sponge and use the cheep stuff thy have on offer at tesco from time to time

    125 touring

    Thanks dude it was more me thinking that as other than my ar50 air cool but a top speed of 33 so never went to far on it I've always had water cooled (cars) and was thinking stopping every hour or so as you said to give me a rest as much as the bike it will have a full service before I leave

    125 touring

    Day 2 and 3 are ok but it's the 6 hour ride in day 1 should only take just over a tank but there's a few challange 100 stops to brake it up a bit and have a stretch as I don't think going 3 hours straight then a hours stop then 3 hours again would do the bike much good in a car would not bother me but that's water cooled And never leave home without my aa card

    125 touring

    Has any one done it or does it what did you take and do you have any tips you could share please I'm thinking on Oxford to lands end over 3 days I'm thinking day one Oxford to Plymouth Google says its 5:40 hours and so about 221 miles going with 4 challenge 100 spots Day 2 Plymouth to lands end in the morning Google says 1:50 and 66miles with 1 challenge 100 Day 2 late morning / afternoon Lands end to Tiverton 3:15 and 125 miles 1 challange 100 Day 3 Tiverton to Oxford 3:42 and about 155 miles Which seams OK as no motorways all a and B roads Do you think google times are about right also how often should I be stopping for a air cooled 125 other than to fill up eg stop every hour for a bit
  20. Don't forget the zontes for the Chinese section
  21. Washing up liquid is bad for the paint that's why you should never use it to was your car/ bike
