My first bike!

[Louise]

Well, finally got my bike. well scooter.
100 Yam YQ. In really good nick, and for 250 quid I think it was a good snatch!!!

[bearwood.beckham]

Very nice! I have got a thing for scooters tho... What reg, mileage is it?

[Louise]

51 Reg, so thats 2001 sorry. Miles, 14 something. I know a little high but has been serviced and it seems sound.
Altho, its a little noisy. So looking for a silencer of some type.

[McGee]

Not a fan of scooters but at that price bargin.

It does look nice though

Any engine will last if its looked after

Its pronounced Jixxer!

[Louise]

I do plan to look after this one, and tiops for oil? give it a good clean out id like to. Need a manual

[Rob-B]

Looks like a bargain!, ride safe

[Louise]

I think the main thing that put people off is it dosnt have a stand (He buggered it up) But a side stand will do. Also Kick start needed doing. But, the seller was good and fixed that. Its a start, something to get used to and hopefully move up the scales.

[Flip]

Female. I'm guessing that you're 17. Ah that's why people are being so nice.

Hey.

[beatnck]

bargain for that price! as for oil, find out what the manufacterer reccomends, and use that!

[Jack_Cheese]

Having owned two scooters, i can honestly say that the most fun you can have is by filling the underseat area with napalm or glycerol trinitrate, pointing it at the nearest brick wall whilst at full speed and bailing out.

[Louise]

Thanks but no thanks.
P.s dont be an ass for the whole of your life ok
oh and im 22.

[Jack_Cheese]

[h00dwink]

[Louise]

So because im older then a kid I must go and ride a 125 big bike?
I wanted a scoot to start off with. And to be honest I wouldnt feel comfy riding on a bigger bike right away.

[beatnck]

fair enuogh. im 26 and on a 125, its only now ive had the chance to ride on 2 wheels again. enjoy your bike, you'll still have more fun on it than you can in the average car.

[Louise]

1) as ive said before somewhere else my other half wont let me get a bigish bike yet (NSR, RS ect)
2) For what i need it for (work ect) there is just no point in getting anything bigger (BTW Portsmouth is coming to 20Mph through out the intire city soon!)

Dont get me wrong I would love to ride a bigger bike. But just not yet.

[Jack_Cheese]

Get a go on a 125, borrow one for a quick spin, they're great fun.

Nice avatar btw

Jack

Waiting for my work mate to go get a 125. He keeps on about it, and he knows I will want a go!

Scooters are more fun when used in their element. Twisty back lanes can be fun when you figure out the balance and they're more pleasant to use in traffic (not that I'm any less comfortable with a clutch, of course!).

[Deano]

you did bloody well for £250 so well done.

[Louise]

I took it out for a quick spin (On a quiet road next to mine) As I have no CBT yet
(Yes No CBT, but couldnt miss a cheap bike) It pulls away great, nippy little thing.
First thing is to change the exhaust. Way way too noisy for me Back to the standard soon!

[Louise]

Took the exhaust can off. (after about an hour of trying) got no bafflers. well, a tiny bit left. got more on way so should help

[LUXY DJ]

[Louise]

Yup well try telling my partner that!
For a first time user of bikes I think a geared one was out of the question for me. I know the Gilaras are auto, hmmmmm.
Still im happy with this. Just sprayed the exhaust and is looking fine.
