The youngest Zhedlet turns 18 this time next week and I got him this MT125 (2016). Advertised for £2,850 but I got it for £2,400 with a paddock stand thrown in as the ABS light was on. I think it’s probably just a loose or dry connection as I had a fiddle with the sensors and got the light to go out and the ABS working again, but then it recurred. I made him spend a year on a twist and go step thru so he could concentrate on developing his road sense and whatnot without having to worry about gears and clutch or toppling over and so he’s absolutely over the Moon to now be on a “proper” bike. We then had a lovely, albeit slow, ride back to Herts together through the Cambridgeshire lanes.
great stuff... hopefully at least one of ya family grows up to be a proper bi.er....its all we can asx
your house is different dude.. you aint an obnoxious pric hell bent on imposing his views on everyone... or are you?
Well, I’m taking him for his first biker cafe brekkie tomorrow and we’re going to the Silver Ball rather than the Bikeshed, so there’s hope Just kidding. I love the Bikeshed. It’s been ages since I’ve been to the Silver Ball though, as I stopped going there about 15 years ago after the miserable old git who ran it charged me £14 for a breakfast on the basis that as I’d asked for my egg to be scrambled it was no longer a set breakfast (£4.50) but was scrambled egg on toast, plus separate side orders of bacon, sausage, tomatoes, hash brown and fried bread with a mug of tea.
Think I’d be the same, not sure I’d ever go back though to be honest. Good luck to your lad for his riding years ahead. My lads wants a Vespa for when he’s on L’s at 16 then he want a Aprilia sx when he turns 17.
ah.... you are of no use to me then. hey,we should get offa the banisters thread lest we get arrested or summit...
I think 15 years is long enough to hold a grudge. Forgive and forget and all that, eh.... like how I didn’t rise to Chiz’s little dig
Rode pastA Silver Ball a couple of weeks ago, looked sad and empty, probably won’t be able to get into the car park tomorrow.
How times change, hope your lad enjoys and keeps on biking, I bought this Honda for my lads first bike. Steve I hid it in the garage and gave it him when he passed his test.
Haha mate, Quentin told me you fucking loved it and asked for seconds! He also said you've never refused his special sausage roll, from his deli, called 'gay stuff'
