So the TL/DR: The soppy nostalgic bastard in you made you buy a POS but the evil capitalist with buyer's remorse passed it onto some poor mug.  ____________________ 22PlusY

A Melody was the first bike I ever had a ride on when I was maybe ten years old. It was well nicked... as I recall it had a rolled up pair of socks intead of a petrol cap and one had to stop the engine running by poking a finger up the exhaust pipe... and when my dad found out I'd been riding it I got a slap round the lug 'ole  ____________________ Previous Bikes: 2006 Honda XR125L > 2003 Yamaha DT125R > 1996 Honda CB500
