nice figures.
But most people with RS125's are 17 year old clowns (like myself)
Who think there better than everyone else.
And end up proving there the best....at crashing.
Think there was a RS125 that crashed up bassets pole the other week.
Unlucky, but shit happens sometimes like that.
We've all made mistakes.
An for those who haven't.....dont worry your time will come...Muhahaha

The fact is, if u ride like a tit, u will crash.

and most 17 yr olds, are under the impression that they are better than everyone else, and can get away with too much

problem is, you cant. As soon as you begin to understand that, hopefully you wont ride like a tit.

yes, i am 17, and no, i dont ride like a tit imho Rolling Eyes

Sometimes i will ride a bit aggressivly and some days ill ride like a grandad.
All depends on mood i supose but generally i dont really race the bike.
I have learnt the ways.

I only seem to fall of when doing something stupid. Which is self explanitry really.
Not crashed this bike, and hopefully never will!!!

Well i crashed the RS125 within a few weeks of getting it. Well it wasn't really a crash as such but the forum curse took hold after reading about it. Very Happy

Ste · Not Work Safe Joined: 01 Sep 2002 Karma :

Same here.

Worse imho is when ur out, and ur mates are in thier cars, ur on ur bike... u know where im going with this Surprised

proving that ur bike isnt a shitty slow 125 Razz

problem is, so asmny drivers drive like tits, so a crash isnt necessary ur fault.

I only tried to take an island too fast and ended up not going round it but off the side onto the verge as i wasn't leaning into it enough Smile

any crash is your fault, us as a person have to take responsibility and crashes can always be avoided, and theres no point blaming some1 else or the forum curse!

tj

Crestfallen · Borekit Bruiser Joined: 21 May 2002 Karma :

TJ, i was joking Smile

It was just a conicidence that i read about the curse then had a decided to be one with the vegetation the next day.

Ste · Not Work Safe Joined: 01 Sep 2002 Karma :

Not really.

So that to say when my dad was sitting at a junction, look left clear, look right clear, and then check right, and there is a Nova spinning accross the duel carriage way and then into him is his fault?

I dont think so!

Scotty · Scooter Boi Joined: 31 Jul 2002 Karma :

Too be honest ive never really had anything bad or stupid people pull out on me.
But if i do see another car on a junction, my fingers are at the ready just in case.
Ive had a few not realise how fast i was traveling and had to slow down a lil bit to let them through.

But thats about it.

I Did race an omega 2.5 V6 through the one side of brum to the other.
Undertaking and over taking, very fun.
But in a scary way.

But his was faster, luckly the fastest we ever touched was about 70 as it was going through brum, and thats when i first got the bike, and wanted to play!!! Laughing

Dangerous = Yes
Fun = Yes
Razz

going faster = more fun = more danger Crying or Very sad

racing other ppl is great, specially if you know you can win, problem is, you will ride like a nutter just to win Sad

I understand that theory.
Dont get me wrong i tuned my 50cc, good fun managed to beat most other 50cc although accleration wasn't its key point compared to other scoots. I win on top speed!!
But it did make it a lil unreliable. But it sounded alot better with the Arrow pipe i put on it.....Mmmmmm
Not to mention faster! lol
