Starts first boot and goes and stops like it should, all it needs is a battery and an MOT and tax and it's ready to get me to work during the week.
Should be fun getting 31mph from it....

Re: Another new steed
The reason I bought this tarmac shredder, is it will probably end up being used by my wife for getting around town (if she gets on with it).
I didn't want her riding a moped with silly little wheels as the potholes around here are pretty grim, at least with a bigger wheel, it's a bit more stable.
If she gets on with it, I'll be getting a C90 or a CG125 for putting around on, but for a few weeks, I'll use this to make sure it's ok.
Hopefully it should still be capable of 100mpg (maybe a bit less with me on-board?) as it's bog stock.

It is a 2 stroke, but it came with two litres of oil and even a Haynes manual.johnr wrote:minter paul, congestion charge beatimg knowlege machine? 2 stroke?

Re: Another new steed
one of my workmates bought one of those 125 chinese thingy's last month, granted he's only doing about 3 miles a day, but he's just filled it for the first time. 12 quid for a whloe month
if at first you succeed, don't look suprised.

Re: Another new steed
just go careful paul, if you crack the throttle open to hard it will either pop the front end up or light up the arse end moderation of the throttle is the key.
good bargain mate

I was starting to get worried about you, then I remembered that you play rugby
I'll have a look to see if I can do that weekend, what was the run again?
