  1. have a good one, me im working. ho hum. and cruz your a scamp
  2. Not had this bike long just approaching my first service. I bought the bike brand spanking new so i am breaking in the engine, so far this week the weather in Blackpool has been very stormy with extreme high winds. despite all that the sea and other nasty contributors the Vixen behaved admirably not one splutter there were a few dodgey moments when going round a large roundabout when the wind nearly had me scrapeing the footpegs but the bike was very easy to control even under extreme surcomstances and recovered easily. This bike provides a very comfy ride and has an almost chirpy growl to the exhaust a very happy bike. Down points: indicator switch slack on centering it almost seems as if the switch could do with an original Honda cm125 switch assembly i may look into doing that at a later date. the choke, on all my other bikes i have ever owned the choke when you use it on those frosty or just plain cold days makes the engine race a little when the engine warms up a tad, the vixen slows down when the choke is used. foot pegs just not wide enough i have got used to them but very uneasy feelings when i first got it the speedo and number thingy (not the revometer ) the readings are in KMH not MPH a wee bit of a git. when the warenty is up i will see about getting a replacement face put on. fun facts when just going over the brow of a steep hill a a nice speed you just can't stop yourself shouting in the voice of brian blessed 'Dive my brave Hawkmen ' overall a good runner if a little confusing at first very easy to control and manoover and remember if this is your first cruser or you are considering a cruiser style bike getting on a bike of this style is easyer if the side stand down until you get used to it. yes i know i can't spell so there. xxxx

  4. Spelling or the English language Like w r u som kinda m8 ov der instine bloke
  5. looking for a universal sissy bar but at the moment 16 hours searching on the old interweb cant find one online. im well aware of all the views of not getting a chinese bike, but i have more than 25 years experiance with bikes so your views don't matter you get out what you put in, just looking for a universal sissy bar thats all.
  6. ok i can say this as ive had the opp. whats the hardest part of a sex change opperation? changing the smell from cheese to tuna.
  7. cor bsh used to do piccys like that. but what made me laught today was this mutant chav single mother screeming at her kids and turning to face the brats she walked strait into a lamp post, that was just the entertainment warm up there was a cop car parked up and they saw all this so out gets the large boot and long arm and it breatherlises the mutant all the while the mutant is still screeming at her kids, i was in hysterics.
  8. i had the 1974 250 G5 if you can find one most of the bits will go on but if you change the engins over whatch out for the cam chain tensioners they have a habbit of snapping and the carbs get very sticky very quickly even after several new sets plugs points ect in the end i put on a wet dream loom. never could sort out that carb problem though. good luck cant wait to see the finish.
  9. ha risk assesment, ok eu write one for this, i was 5-6 ish i got given a box of oil old nasty gooey black stuff, i was told that what ever was in there i could keep so i plundged my hand in and pulled out brocken glass a pen knife (i still have the knife) and some keys. i took the knife and the keys home and after neerly cutting the tip off my thumb off got the blade open, the keys well they turned out to belong to an old guy who terrorised kids with hit zimmer frame (don't ask) as for hi viz there is only one use for that stuff and that is to wrap kids and chavs in any one remember the leg protectors or the airbags or maybey the seatbelts for bikers
  10. daft thought, were you not taught how to change tyres on a push bike, same principle, but the tyre leavers are bigger and before you say something silly, i have changed tyres on a tractor before now using crow bars. worth a thought? you can allways get a bus to the garage to get them blown up and then get them ballenced later
  11. its allready happening in wilkinsons, booze buster and even the petrol god as-dah and tesc-oh but if the money goes to the retailer are they then not taxed on selling them, our local council in infinate wisdom decided to put through all letter boxes theses erm hessian sack shopping bags. now these had colour print wich is not cheep but add the price of making printing and delivering where did that money come from. hmmm
