Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?

I've got a Honda CRF125 for my kids. We were out with it on Saturday, at the old brick pits. The older one (14) was going well. The younger one (10 but tall) decided to have a first go.

It didn't go well. As soon as he let the clutch out he gave it too much throttle. Which threw him backwards so he automatically opened the throttle more. So he was racing off and starting to fall sideways.

I lunged after him and tried to grab the bike and hit the kill switch. I got it but got a bit tangled in the bike as I did so. We were all on the floor by now and so was the bike.

He was fine. I have some scuffing to my legs.

I like it when a valuable lesson is learned. But not when it's me that learns the lesson!

Honestly, it's not syphilis, it's where a child's bike fell on my legs.

You're terrible Muriel(s).

The 14 year old is very cautious on it. If I was 14 (nearly 15) and my dad had bought me a proper off road bike I'd be ragging it like I was Rageh Omaar.

And a very nice morning's ride it was too, as we did a riding assessment!

Good to see you :)

Dunno why, but preferred them in blue.
They were slow compared to GT250 and RD250, but they sounded so good.
And IIRC all the triples ran on BelRay.
Ooooooh. That smelt nice.

Not riding but an even rarer event.

Washing it.

With Harry checking to make sure I don’t miss a bit.

2. I sold the first one to buy a Malagutti thing but it was shite. So I sold that and got a Fantic Cabellero but that was also shite. So I sold that and got another Fizzy! :thumbup:

Love the RD400.

I had one just like that as one of my first bikes. I’d really like one again but 1. It won’t be nearly as good as I remember and 2. I’m not paying the silly prices that are being asked.

My mates got a Fizzy in his garage that we used to use at the Moped Mayhem at Peterborough. Consequently there’s not a bit of it that hasn’t got some damage to it. I think it’s just sitting there. He’d probably get a decent price for it too as it’s mostly still all there.
