  1. having a look at my sisters boyfriends old honda CG125 1993 i think i will get that confirmed. i will be using it for long stints from glocuester to aberiswithe in wales every other week also to and from work It needs a new back tire and a new pair of forks. im also gnna get it serviced before officially buying it. what you guys think?
  2. find a hill. push it down. stick it in gear. stay shiney side up. ride away into the wintery blinding sunset

    Oil

    the bike has 600 miles on the clock. should the cable be damaged?
  4. how tall are you? i have a kawazaki jacket that might fit. its like a jersey kinda thing. its cool

    Oil

    Im currently using some really cheap 2 quid a bottle oil for my bike. only problem is after a long ride my throttle cable slips abit and i lose power. its not hard to regain power by letting go of the throttle and then twisting it back again. but i would like to know if theres anything i can do. a mate said try some castrol synthetic oil or something. but if i remember right too much of the stuff can start to do damage.

    Doh :(

    well i would love to watch someone bump start a bike in this weather
  7. looks cool but too slow paced for my liking get a field more dirt in there and 25 400CC MX bikes and i will be in
  8. so wait? is this motorcross or concrete track racing? im confused i never heard the term supermoto if im honest i rode a few dirt tracks in my life. also. ouch being ran over by bikes sucks but to be basically leading at the time
  9. i often ware tracksuit bottoms on my moped mind you only cuz they dry out quickly when im at work.
  10. i enjoy a good rain ride sometimes. not like pouring pouring but just rain. sometimes its nice and calming untill it reaches your butt crack.
  11. i always nod. even off the bike i nod.
  12. sure. hoping to have a big bike by then so i will be riding all up and down trying to meet forum peoples
  13. i dont reckon its a bad video mate for some people trying to scope the road for safe corners and dangerous parts. i reckon the vid is somewhat educational
  14. this looks like the shorta stuff i would love to do when i get a bigger bike if you cruise along to do it again next year give me a shout. im deffo in. did abit of MX on a heavy 400 before so i can imagine i could handle this
  15. im gnna be an ass and say i hate these bikes. a mate had one and it was a total load of crap they have alot of expensive problems. my best advice would be take it to a shop. my mate had a piston blow becuase the starting motor was nackered it doesnt make sense to me but woolfy is generally a good mechanic so i trust him mind you thats 50. your throttle cable could just be damaged.
  16. it cleans alot of crap out the engine and will help your tank hold a bigger amount. the amount of crap that collects in the bottom of a tank i believe disolves in the solution in redex and comes out the back of the bike in a pretty grey "health" smoke the stuff will do wanders for any bike in my opinion. even brand new bikes and this stuff will help in the long run

    low revs?

    some crosser bikes (i dont know about others) have the choke actually on the carb under the tank. take a look if its a crosser.
  18. i like my jacket to be smaller in length becuase i find when they get tight around hips its irritating. i like myne tight about my hips becuase it also serves and my #1 carrying place. trousers i reccomend tightish but not so tight your legs cant breath. dont wear apple bottom jeans, ive had a few occasions on my 125 where my trouser leg has gone through my front sprocket and almost pulled me off gloves. i reccomend summer gloves and buy a set of winter undergloves. its abit more expensive but makes a huge diffrence when changing seasons without melting. helmet should be tight to the point where if you grip the chin gaurd and shake it your head moves with the helmet 100% although dont do it so tight it hurts. if your wearing a one peice undersuit make sure its nice and tight. you will look like a latex cycler so get into kit quickly. Boots. make sure your boots fit properly. having boots where theres "room to grow into" is not a smart plan in my opinion becuase you cant account for the spacial awareness between your toes and the floor in aggresive positions some of this is total bullshit to some people its all personall opinion
  19. its a one layer brick wall, its around the bottom of my conservatory. also my last protection was attached to my shed.... i learnt my lesson. im going all out this time got a disc lock, chain lock, getting a ground anchor and im gnna weld the wheels to the floor when im not riding it
  20. but bogof will it be reliable? the bolts dont look very big :S also do i bolt it into the pattio the wall or what?
  21. ok after having a bike with only 2000 miles on the clock stolen im getting a new kinda bike, a hairdryer with wheels to be precise. but still im nervous about having it stolen and i dont wanna claim on insurance so im going all out. i have places to anchor my bike at work and at college but not at home, so i was thinking on getting http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/p ... 418760.htm Attached to our pattio i know for a moped it might seem OTT but after having one bike robbed im a little nervous, does anyone have any experience with Oxford ground anchors and are they reliable? Also for 15 quid i cant really go wrong aslong as it works
  22. just to be sure. check your engine oil. also if its a brand new bike. it could possibly be your piston catching or something. im not that good but meh. you never know
  23. i could ride a pushbike without stabilizers before i could run. used to be sponsered by noah's ark a local bike shop. and when i turned 16 i presumed bikes wouldnt be a great deal of diffrence and they wernt i loved them just as much ^.^
  24. it was attacked to a sorta bracket thingy on my shed. its hard to explain. but no. it was ripped off the shed and has gone with the bike . im looking at 125's now :'( just more fcuking money really isnt it? im looking for a decent 125 thats gnna last me a few years. im planning to get a new bike when i manage to get a job as a full time fire fighter.
