I thought your mum told you to keep away from those Asian bride sites Foams!!

I would go for a 250, because you can and it will save cash in the long run. Bikes only go as fast as you twist the throttle. A lot of 125's are overpriced because it is the limit for a learner. Which bike will depend on you. What style do you like? Can you fit on a trail bike (taller seat heights)? Do you want a 2 stroke or 4 stroke? Do you want a classic or a newer model? What can you afford? etc..................

I'm in (not for running) but happy to sponsor him if he runs.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Just remember to ad-droid all cars.

Just a pun Merv. Lots of "been there, seen it and done it's" so far. I hope to add a lot more.

A difficult one this. If I use a ferry, I tend to put it in gear, block the front wheel and single strap over the seat. If they go on a trailer it is chocked on the front wheel and they savagely tightened down by straps on the front to compress the forks and tied at the back to stop the rear swaying. I would go the trailer route but be careful how much "welly" you give the front straps. Sometimes people seem to want to bottom the forks out or pop the fork seals. Can you get a front wheel chock? LINKY this will stop the wheel from wanting to turn left or right. It also allows the bike to stand upright without a stand. Then tied down at the front with ratchet straps until the front is compressed. One over the seat - use some padding on the seat so that the strap doesn't eat into the seat itself. Then a couple of straps at the back to stabilise the rear. Work front to back. Straps are cheap, bodywork isn't. Then the daily panic until you re open the crate.

It is a 125 custom, never going to be built for speed. I am sure some other owners will be along to give comparisons on speeds. I don't do polishing either, I would paint all the chrome to stop having to polish it. Don't forget to post a "hello" in the newbies section. People who do get much better replies to questions. Welcome to the forum.

Thought I would throw the TS back to the top of the project section - for a while at least. Not had much of a chance to ride the bike recently. Still had that top end bogging down issue. Earlier in the week I ripped off the carb and fitted a 210 Main Jet. Replaced the air filter with a new piece of foam and gave it some 2 stoke oil rather than the spay oil I had tried and replaced the foam seal in the airbox with some closed cell foam off fleabay. Put another new battery in it as the one I had was only 2 amps not 4. The regulator seems to have stopped the battery boiling problems though. Brought a Ctek 6v charger - very impressed. I haven't had a chance to take it on a decent run yet but I am back at work on Tuesday so hopefully I can give it a 40 odd mile return journey run then.

Hi and welcome to the forum Dougie. I moved your post to the right section so it could be better seen.

Hi Moe. Welcome to the forum.

Not at the moment. I have a SV650, TS250 and a YA-6 DT's are a big favorite on the site for us 2 stroke lovers If you fancy it, start a project thread. This section can be found at the bottom of the home page. Click "forums" and scroll down to the bottom.

Hi and welcome to the forum Simon. For picture posting help, look here

Fantastic 2 stroke oil too, in my humble opinion.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Not any more. Used to live in Harlow (Epping Green) for many years though.

Well done.

Have you tried tilting your screen to the left John? Only kidding. Mine is the same on the home page only.
