Yep Focus is company car
10 week wait 10 more weeks of the Honda Jazz that I've been driving for the last 6 months. Will be missed in the office as it is affectionately known as my 'Pussy Wagon'.
CBT tomorrow then tax and insurance sorted on Monday then I'm free to go and chuck it in a ditch or into some oncoming traffic

How? It's not trying to be anything it's not. It's a race bred 125 for the road. It's a 125 2 stroke, it's hardly going to sound like a V-Twin or Inline 4.

They're second hand but have only been ridden in a handful of times, they're pretty small for a 40 and the guy just couldn't deal with the tight fit 
Fat bastard!

Awesome first bikes. And now that you've tasted 2 stroke power, you'll want it for the rest of your life! 
I dropped the forks through the yokes 20mm on mine. Made it handle amazing!

If you did yours when you were 17 then you do it with a geared bike (I thought you got a choice mind you) but obviously when you're 16 you just get a twist and go 50cc.

i forgot about that, but isnt it 1.5 cm?
also keep and eye out for a dellorto 34mm carb, you will need the 34mm inlet to, and also check if the cdi has been modded, theres a environmental dip at 5000-6000rpm.
