Re: Daily touring mileage
Bigger the group the lower the mileages. I'd say 300 is way too much even for solo, only takes one technical hitch and a bit of bad weather to make it a day from hell. 250 max for me solo nowadays and 200 if there's only 2 or 3 any more in the group and you'll be struggling to get over 150 without i...

Re: BLOA dead?
So what did happen to all of that money from membership and merchandise, etc. or was he not making any profit on £20 mugs? Be interesting to hear from his members, as technically all the money from memberships and club merchandise is theirs. Is it? I don't recall seeing anything like a constitution...

Re: Oh I've had it.
Remember there are no more "traditional" scooters being made. Nor traditional scooter riders :lol: Once the prices come down to an affordable level they'll start it all up again. There's a small group of young lads up in Derry who're getting into classic scooters, doing the sort of stuff ...

Er 5 is a kawasaki, I had their "ninja" 650 which is also a parallel twin, light, decent handling and very nippy, great fun to ride.

Re: Mod 1 and 2 On Scooter
I wouldn't want to take a pillion or go on a motorway on a PX125, they're scarily underpowered, your only advantage is ditching the learner plates and not having to take the CBT again. Doing it on a bigger bike means you can legally get a scooter with a larger engine. If you can use gears on a scoot...
