so happy

[kingsknight]

I don't think I have ever been happier on a bike. My vada has been off the road for a few days due to a theft attempt and the replacement disc I bought being more fucked then the one already on my bike. But today all is well. Brand new disc so back on the road

When I bought my new bike I also bought all new gear including much needed winter thermal gear. Every part of my gear is completely wind proof and thermally lined.

Also bought some thermal long sleve shirts and long johns, all this plus a wind shield around my neck means I barely noticed the -2 temp on the way to work. Also got a small hot water bottle which fits lovely inside my jacket.

I feel a twat for all these years I have frozen my arse off and just put up with it.

It's a lovely feeling never holding traffic up and being able to over take slow moving traffic!

Yeah yeah I know I have heard it all before " get a 6zillion cc bike then see how you feel" stfu I don't want to hear it!

I'm so happy today and people at work have commented I'm now enjoying biking again and not just using a bike to get to A to B!

Stay safe people and I hope you're enjoying your bikes like I am

Get a 600cc and then see how you feel.https://cdn3.sbnation.com/profile_images/186786/trollface_tiny.jpg

You're braver than me, I'm not quite a fair weather rider yet but I feel like i'm heading down that road.

[Scootaloo]

Get a 400cc Jap bike, 75 MPG + almost the performance of a 600 = best of both worlds.





But yeah, 125's are fantastic, I'm grabbing my mates learner CG125 for a cafe-racer project, as far as I'm aware, no serious bikers Garage is complete without one! great backup bike as well.

Happy Trails

I bought some £20 ski gloves from sports direct. Finger tips get a little cold but not painful at all

I love my hot water bottle. I went round to a friends house the other day and showed him my new bike and gear. His dad was there and said " I remember the day's when bikers was real men. I have only ever had a leather jacket and jeans to keep me warm"

I replied and asked if he has the heating on in his flat which he replied " all the time it fucking freezing "

I was like " what's the difference? Keeping warm is keeping warm" at this point he turned round and walked inside. Well it was cold outside

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!

Go on, I never get tired of hearing about CBFs failing like the cheap Indian hacks that they are.

I'm not sure why you got another one though.

CBF is a faster 125?

I thought it was just a YBR with a dodgy fuel pump
See a lot of them around here

Seeing as I have had a CBF125 (from new) for the past couple of months, I'd like to hear how the story ends though I'm sensing a pattern here....

I have never owned a cbf but I have read some truly nasty stories about them. Saying that I have seen a 09 plate cbf with 42k on the clock and it didn't look too bad. They cannot be that bad as I see more cbfs on the road then any other bike.

take it you got the new shape one with the belly pan? Tbh I would of spent the money on a nearly new cbr125. Seen 2012 models with next to no mileage go for 2500 on eBay over Xmas
