To be fair, he was doing it in the pic because it makes it easier to wheelie, but obviously if he rides like that everyday then yes he's an idiot.

20k is good going without a rebuild.
Speedshites are crap, put it this way they come with a 12mm carb as standard, most peds come with 17.5mm as standard.
And mad mike, you look a twat with your feet on the pegs like that, every time I see someone liek that I feel like knocking them off

They're all driven by 16 year old bellends who shoudn't be allowed on the roads round here. Plus, I can't get over how stupid someone looks riding one.

Topped out at 80mph. My cousins 1.2 nova used to get left for dead round back lanes. He was gutted
