Hi ya all

I suppose you could say that I am sort of new to biking, I have had my present bike for about a month now (just an ickle 125). I have managed to clock up over a 1000 miles on her so far.

She is my 4th bike, I have had roughly a 15 year break from bikes, through lack of money and confidence and circumstances really. I very nearly took my bike test about 15 years ago, but the day before my actual test, some theiving scrote nicked my bike, cut right through the wiring harness then through her in the canal, only the mirror was visible, sticking out of the water.

So, now 15 years later, I am ready to have another go (soon I hope) am just building up my confidence again, and having lots of fun doing it.

I look forward to chatting with you and hopefully meeting some of you at some point.

mmm ......... was kinda hoping this one would not be asked Embarassed

I know that alot of you will probably take the piss summat shocking, but I have one of those unpronouncable chinese import jobbies, it is based on the old Honda CM125 (which was my last bike).

I couldnt decide between paying about a grand for a decent second hand 125 or going for a cheaper brand new bike (less than £600 on the road).

As I dont intend to keep the 125 for ever, I decided to go for the cheaper option, so that I would be able to afford to take my test and then get a bigger bike later on.

I know I will not get that much for it when it comes to selling it on, but that does not bother me, it is cheap, it is fun and it is helping me build up my road confidence in leaps and bounds, so well worth the money that was paid for it.

Yes you are right ....... it is not one of those. Laughing (I can pronounce that one)

It is a Houniao (Huni for short) 125 and I think it has HN-8 after it, though I have not the foggiest what that bit means.
