I had
A lovely little 125 motorbike, Honda CG125. Rode it to work and back every day, a round trip of about 40 miles. Saw all the other apprentices, and other folk in general, on their nasty little twist and go scooters, and felt slightly superior. This made up for my mate on a big 600cc laughing at me, you see.
Merrily trundling home friday, minding my own business. Sees a car indicating right, to turn across me. Sees him suddenly pull out as I am approaching, sees the tarmc going by at 40 odd mph about a foot from my face.
Today, I get a hire "bike" to replace my poor mangled steed. Look up the Yamaha cygnus 125.
It is snot green, the size of a whale and struggles to do 50, being a 125 twist and go. I could go on, but I might get so cross I'd go and smash it, it is that horrid.
Scooters are like gay sex. Some people like it, and I don't argue with it. But to me, it's just nasty.


Anyone flogging a CG?

na not gay sex
like sexing up a fat chick... kinda fun but you wouldn't want your friends seeing you ride one.

But without the fun. It is a bloody shed.

hmm,
I had a CG's bigger bro, the CDT125.

Blew it up. Apparantely, accoring to the garage bloke, everyone who ever had a CDT125 blew it up. It's what they do

Get a Yamaha TW125, loads of fun, way cooler than a CG, and small children point at your back wheel in astonishment.

Hondas....ahhh
slimtallgoth has one as too scared to pass his car driving test - he loves it, has put leetle skull stickers etc all over and so on...

Two weeks ago, he was on early shift and left home at 5 am to get to work - he's going up the slip road to A38 and indicates to overtake the gritter lorry that's parked up on the road - only for it to suddenly pull out - visions of slimtallgoth slapping into the side of it Wild.E.Coyote style ensue - fucking dumbwit in the lorry didn't even look.....

So my poor little chicken has now got to endure getting to work on a nasty gaysex whale of a moped (the insurance co. gave him as a cover bike) til they sort it out. I can't even bear to help him on with his normal protection when he's going to do 'that' with 'that thing' for half an hour every shift, to and from! ....I normally have a rollie and kiss him lots as he gets ready for worko, but now I have to just say bye bye!

I don't mean to be a nasty wifie...

I too
have a cg125, and it is better than beer. I get round london a hell of a lot faster than anything else at rush hour, and it costs less than the bus! So no, I'm not selling it.

I had a Honda C90
which I loved to bits.

It cost me £200, but I spent at least that again on parts, tools, and a topbox.

Then some arsehole nicked it at the start of the month.

Now I have no bike at all. I wish I had a scooter, even if it was crap.

(Still, at least it gives me an excuse to do my 33bhp test and get something a bit quicker...)

Sorry to hear about Mr Goth, hope hes OK. I rang the insurance to demand a proper bike, should be getting one end of the week. I hope.
Rode the handbag to work, 20 miles there and 20 back. Utterly boring. Then I saw my CG at the garage, all smashed up..*sniff*. I think I'll get another, mine went through mud, floods, ice, rain, dark and never skipped a beat. I miss it loads :(
