Getting back into biking

[gammamanuk]

Something thats a distant dream at the moment.

Im a full time student earning 50 pound a week working weekends.

My cbt has run out and i posess a poorly non runner rg 125 i want to sell.

I want to buy a bike that starts and runs fine, no loose panels,no cable ties,no bodges, something i can use and not have to constantely pick around with to stop it from falling to piieces.

I want to do my CBT again and buy a 125 geared bike, preferably non 2 stroke, i want something thats nippy enough and does around 60 - 70 mph. Im into sports styled bikes, tho ill consider anything 2 stroke or 4 stroke but want something reasonably cheap.

Dont want to do my full bike test, trying to do my car one at the moment, failed it twice, got the 3rd in a few weeks

Shall i look for a older NSR again? i had one before i love them bikes? or shall i look at a 4 stroker? what sort of 125s did they make as four strokers? I just want something for some dry day fun we usually have in these crisp winters, sunday was a nice day but a bit fresh im heavily into modified cars, i have a fully modified fiesta, you kno, big rims, sound system to make your ears sore and your eyes water etc

any opinions? sorry i do blabber on

I'd go for an older NSR, you can pick them up for ~£700-800, and as long as it's looked after it will be reliable.

I kno you hate boyracers and chavs, god i hate chavs, i do wear trackies and stuff but i jus seem to get a mad buzz from cruisin round with the birds with the subs pumping away in the boot

Meed to get saving, must be somehow i can earn more than 50 quid a week whilst staying at college?

[Weed]

You could always pimp ya birds out!? *joking*

If your 18, thought about an evening job in a pub?? or pushing trolleys around for a few hours a week??

We call them neds up here, but I wouldn't call him a NED, after all, he'd be down the shops feeling up the tasha slapper if he was

[gammamanuk]

Yerh bar work sounds fun.

I promise you im no chav its just the thing when your young, becoming able to drive is a new buzz, my car is on subtly modified, no big jap style bodykits and neons

Going to go strip the RG down and go down a few pubs for work

[Gazdaman]

a nippy 125 4 stroke is a bit of a contradiction.

I had a go on a cg125 yesterday after being on my 2 stroke mz for a few weeks. It has almost EXACTLY the same top speed, but my mz will get there in 15 seconds, whereas the cg will take about 25ish.

In my mind I'd get a 2 stroke, if it's treated right it'll be just as reliable and you'll have much more fun.

An oldish NSR would be fine if you can afford insurance.

I can drive. I like cars.

But I like go, not show. Modified cars are horrible, fiestas are nasty little things, and subs are silly.

Dislike 125s too.

[Weed]

Should the title under your name have "grumpy old man" robby?

I get less grumpy when I see chinese schoolgirls with no panties on.

I despise boy racer cars. So much. Age is no excuse.

On the merc forum I go to someone was showing off their C180 with neons and the rest. Its slower than a saxo, and they made it look worse than one too.

However, the link on here a while back of the 1.3 escort with the cossie engine and 4x4 running gear, thats hardcore.

You call that sound, mate you don't have shit!

Try having 13 of those subs except wider, stronger and a hell of a lot louder plus 6 amps, Now that goes off.

As for the bike, go the NSR. Its a little ripper.

Yerh but for what i paid for it its still bloody good and the glass fell out of one of the mirrors, and i still have my back seats, so im happy

nice install tho there whos is it ?

[Gazdaman]

Mate, you do realise the front of your car isn't the same colour as the rest?

I like the BM mirrors!

[gammamanuk]

Nah its a bodykit off the 1.6 xr2i

Have you fully recovered since you were in the car accident?

[Robby]

Thats hideous.

Try getting a proper engine, and leaving the exterior stock. People won't laugh at you so much then.

[gammamanuk]

Its alright though least its all standard ford stuff apart from the mirrors and the stereo stuff., theres a lot of badly modified shite going round with huge jap bumpers and stuff

[Laura]

Thats bad nothing a can of petrol and a match wont sort out.

done up cars isnt a chav thing. theres a ford mustang next door, owned by a fellow goth (my best mate so watch what you say) hes had it sprayed black, hes got clawed mirrors, mahoosive rims, sound system, enhaust etc. if u had the guts to call him a chav ud get sacraficed to his god or something.

[DynaMight]

Actually modding a slow car is kinda like having a 125 'sports' bike, It looks fast but it isnt.
