Scooters

[O L Leigh]

Having seen Coxster's little Cygnus X in his banner, I was just wondering how many other folk out there are also riding "Twist and Throw" scooters.

I've had a few in my time and currently have an Aprilia Atlantic Sprint which I will be selling once Christmas and the New Year are out of the way.

The reason for selling it is that I'm getting a new 2008 model Yamaha TMAX next Saturday.

Can't wait...!!

Ghostcav: Chain needs doing.

 

[Coxster]

Show offs - especially GhostChav and his Honda Mine isn't too bad (depending on which angle you look at it from ). Sixty is more than enough for me too right now thanks! Wouldn't mind something with a bit more ooomph to it one day though

 

[Juniper Driver]

Wow you are up early coxster.

 

[Coxster]

Wow you are up early coxster.

Got home from work (and crummy 24-hour Asda - thanks for leaving me a shopping list Mum! :?) at around half-midnight so this is my "leisure time"

 

[Tom]

But it was half four....

 

[Juniper Driver]

Still up and going out.

 

[Coxster]

Still up and going out.

As long as you don't sign the mainline beyond Woking and working it this evening (or in the early hours of tomorrow) - that's fine by me

I have been riding for about 3 years and i have a 2006 Honda Pantheon FES 125, which when going down hill, with a tail wind is capable of 70mph!

I have the same model just in a dark navy blue.

I am intending to go for the Honda Silver Wing within the next year or so.

Blimey!! We've nearly got enough for a rideout.

Mangapps Farm, anyone...? There are some great biking roads round that way. Could always be combined with Pigs Bay.

Mangapps Farm? Ain't heard that in a few years!!! Have they still got a railway?
Last time I visited it was in the back of London Taxi cab

If I had a better bike and wasn't on a provisional license so could nip up the M3 and round the M25 then maybe

Oh well - obviously managed to avoid your train mate (well, I got home to Farnborough without dying anyway ).

Come straight through the middle. It's a breeze on a scoot, even a Cygnus.

Here's me & my little twist & go......hock:

WEHAY!!! BLADE

GhostCav, what year is that mate?? She looks tidy (the bike!!!)

Looks like it needs a nice Aprokavic or Blue Flame end-can on it though!!!!

And seeing that pic reminds me, when the winter is over, i need a new pair of knee-sliders!! My Alpines are a little bit worn!!!!!!!!!! £30 quid a pair hock:



Right, where do i start!!!

I currently own Two bikes...Three until last week!!

My first bike was a 'ped'..and that was a black Piaggio Typhoon 50cc moped, and what a beast that was! I sold that when i was 17, and bought a Yamaha Virago XV125, which was my first Geared bike. Very good bike aswell!

Then i bought this little kitty:

Which is my current ride

I just recently sold the Virago (or 'Viagra' as my mates nicknamed it) to a mate.

I also recently bought a Honda VFR400 NC30, which is destined to be a track bike when i do my ACU!

(bike on left, i wish i owned a Yammy R1 though!!! :razz: )

Two-stroke all the way though!!!!!!!


Looking at getting an Aprillia RS250 / Suzuki RGV250 next year for those long summer days!
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Oh and BTW, i would be up for a meet/ride out!

On the RS of love, I would be able to keep up with GhostCav (just about), and smoke the rest of you!!!!!!!!!

Hey Fella, It's a 2003 RR3 CBR954RR. I bought it from new to replace this,my previous 1997 RRV Fireblade.

That first picture of My 954 was taken back in 2003 before I fettled around with it. An Akrapovic end can was added shortly after plus a tail tidy to remove the huge numberplate holder/mudflap! Also a Harris double bubble screen was on for a while but it soon delaminated & I went back to stock.

Nice NC30, always liked those & they sure are a good laugh to ride. A very chuckable around bike. Nice RS as well, but would you be able to keep up? I usually end up with the front in the air for the first few gear changes so maybe...LOL
Oh & I just remembered, I had a Piaggio Typhoon 50cc thing for a week on holiday in Zante about 10 years ago. I remember using the pillion pegs to stand up on it I managed to motoX the thing & got some pretty good air!

Awsome man!

Im buying a Yamaha TZR 125 ex race-bike soon too..in bits currently hock: ... as a rebuild project for second track bike/rag-around/money spinner!

TWO-STROKES RULE!!!

I'd rather hear about Sprog's rather nice looking bike(s) than watch people call eachother veg all night.




(or view people's MS Paint drawings )

 

[O L Leigh]

Except that me and thee know that twist and go rules.

How's your baby Yam? I got my big Yam last week and it rocks!! Just got to get the tyres and brakes properly scrubbed in and the first service out of the way and I'll be ready for all those lovely dry, grippy roads come Spring.
