Change of plan

[Dom.C]

Meh. Fucked the 600cc plan off now, I've decided I need to keep my license lol. (I have 6 points).

The questions I asked myself were:

"Am I going to restrict it or not?"

"Can I risk getting caught riding un-restricted?" No I can't. I would be an idiot to. It would stop me from doing a hell of a lot of things other than just being on the road, overall it wouldn't be worth it.

"How will it run restricted?" It will run like a dog to be fair.

To be honest, I don't feel like I need a bigger bike at the moment and why rush things? I'm only 17, I have lots of time to carry out road ambitions.
I will be working/getting educated locally so there really isn't any need for a big bike at the moment. I don't feel the need to pay 3 times more than what I'm currently paying on my insurance at the moment either.

Anyway, the cursed Runner has new rings and gaskets on the way so I'm hoping she will run when they have been fitted. That will be for sale again when they are.

I'm going to get driving lessons and my A2 full motorcycle license done shortly.

In the mean time I'll serve my heart up with what it wants, yeah another Runner. LOL I'm such an auto geek I swear, I don't know what it is but I just have a soft spot for them. You know you really like them when the majority of people will say they're shit LOL.

I'll be buying a better condition one compared to my last one, from a dealer with low milage etc. It will cost me approximately £300 max. more than if I bought an 'ok' condition one.

In the mean time I'll be doing my A2 and saving up for some engine work and trick parts. I know I said I probably wouldn't do it but what the heck, it's what I feel I want to do. It won't cost £4,000 either, I looked back at the previous thread and wondered where I got that figure from LOL. I think it was because I had included some ridiculously priced Malossi forks.

Anyway, that will give me time to save up so I can be riding legally (I'm not sure what the cc will turn out to be yet, depends which parts I use).

Stay tuned for the project thread as well, which will be epic.

Will be a load of two stroke fun anyway, I'll probably be on 4 wheels when I want to be.

Looks like it's not going to turn out too bad and more importantly what I would like to happen!


Enough of the essay.

Good luck with it, I think doing the A2 is a good idea it means the 33bhp restriction will come off sooner for you. It might even reduce your insurance on the 125 (not sure, depends on the company).

Thanks mate.

Yeah it may do, I'll have to look into that.

What did you get your points for, if you don't mind me asking?
I was always told 3 points and your OK insurance wise, 6 points and it starts to go up. Maybe when you get 3 of them took off it will be better for you

I got both points relatively close together so they will come off pretty much at the same time +/- 2/3 months.

No L plates then I got caught doing 37 in a 30 zone.

Bit harsh really, mind you I read in the paper at lunch about some bloke who got 3 points for blowing his nose whilst in a traffic jam.

Ayr :) that 60 miles from where i live :) My step dad was a police officer in Ayr for a short time :) i asked him and he said he had never heard of this case :P

[70RSMAT]

seems a shame not to use the 600 when you already have it, but you've gotta love a nice 2 stroke runner! :)

[bilsta]

iv got a feeling that he didnt own it in the first place!

[DanHam]

Gutted about this Dom, but your probably doing the right thing. Doing the A2 before my car was still better IMO, I'm glad I got that one done first. I suppose I didn't really need a bigger bike, I don't do ride outs on it, I use it to go places where I need to go.

Good Luck.

Gutted to hear about this dom :(

As you say though, if you've no need for it then why waste the money eh, especially if runners is what you enjoy.

I can justify mine because it was mega cheap, will be mega reliable and i clock up some miles! and intend to do more run outs/charity events this year.

I could easily ride around on the 125 for another year, but meh, whats the point in money if all i do is look at some numbers on my bank statement.

So, i hope to see some pictures of a mint as fook and rapid runner very soon dom! :D

Cheers, I think I've made the right decision, even though a 600 would have been cool.

Yeah they'll be lots of parts and pictures, don't worry :D
