Didnt you have the cambelt snap on that as well not so long back?
Hadn't snapped in the end, just did this:

But the damage was just as bad, so yaeh, I've not had much luck with any cars.

125's are good little 5-10 mile bikes. But our distance is too much every day. Sat at 60-70mph for 20+ minutes (i.e top revs) doesn't bear well.
Even the 200cc scoot had problems and that done nearly 90...
This is true, we'll see how it fairs up in this climate. He fell off it 2nd day he had it.... He's renowned for falling off you see.

£15 tax
£5 per fillup.
Sub £100 insurance.
You want a cheap way to get to work, and can fork out the £400+ odd for GOOD gear to start with (good gear = Warmth, cheap gear = cold and wet), then overall it can save you a fortune. More to spend on the car
