The last I heard was that he moved somewhere and his bike was stolen.

He works with me, hes fine

He moved from hastings to medway, cg was stolen, loaned him my KH125, was stolen... has since (very recent) moved closer to work and has just got an internet connection.

I'll point his head this way

[Alexio]

I'm ok, I'm here - I just got a little angry at the world after my CG was stolen, the bike I was borrowing was stolen and the second bike I was borrowing I got pulled on for not having the insurance just right.

At some point after this I starting CYCLING the five miles to work. Desperate times indeed. However, after a very enjoyable (if a little painful) session on minimotos with BCF, my hunger for biking bit me and G agreed to sell me something within my price range - £400.

So... for the last 4 months I've been riding a C90 with 3 glorious gears fed from it's 85cc power house. It's older than I am, falling apart, has awful handling, loves crunching it's own gears with no clutch to lend a hand, has brakes that would fail an MOT any day, lights held on with cello tape, a center stand held on with string / gaffer tape to stop it from dragging on the road (not an exaggeration), indicators that don't flash (I have to do that manually) and a leaking / dripping carb while I'm riding, but all of that doesn't matter.

In fact none of it matters in the slightest (except that I haven't even paid G yet so please no one direct his attention toward this thread, thanks) because it's still an engine bolted on to two wheels that sends me flying down narrow and twisting roads, blind corners and around cages stuck in traffic at 50MPH.

I've come to realise that I'm still very much in love with small bikes and that having the throttle jammed open literally 99% of the time is a small joy that is often very hard to communicate. I am however intensely frustrated that I don't quite have the horsepower (or brakes / reliability for that matter) to venture outside of the county. For that reason alone I'm feeling pretty depressed about not having a bike similar to my CG back in hands again so that I could tour to Scotland and back between 60 and 70MPH and have it not miss a single beat.

So, if any one is selling or feeling particularly generous I'm incredibly receptive right now. It's BBQ / meet up season soon enough and my lovely C90, while quite the eye opener, just won't cut it any more.

Oh, and I promise I'll do my test this year. I will, I will, I will! Alexio's back baby.

What did I miss?

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

No bike is safe in Medway without multiple layers of hardcore security.

[Alexio]

[Kris]

Where in Medway are you Alexio? Never knew you were a neighbour..

I have a few friends in the trade - what's your budget for a 125?

[G]

It is indeed .

I should point out that I'm pretty sure I did make it clear what it had done!

Oh and I'll have you know that only DID the brakes pass an MOT, but actually they're pretty good for c90 brakes - no, really!

Oh and I still haven't fond the mudguard, but it's definitely around here somewhere, can remember putting it in a box.

[Alexio]

Nevermind. I just bought and rode home a 2001 Honda CG

So when's the next meet?

Does that mean that there's a cub 90 looking for a good home?
