Also, can anyone recommend a good 125cc bike to get with a budget of £2000?

£2k is a pretty good budget for a 125. If its for a leaner I would suggest something easy enough to get along with. Maybe the YBR or CG125.

Juno and Ugly and Boris' Adventure

I dunno if Boris' bike has a name :sad:

I can think of lots of things to call it, but most aren't complimentary :p:

Um, well, on Saturday after the bike mending party Boris and I went to McDonalds and somehow we got the idea of me tagging along on his minitour. So I did.

First night we stuck to the plan and went to Loughborough and camped. I've never been camping before, but it's ok coz Boris is a scout. I don't remember much about the riding cept it was dark.

Then we didn't stick to the plan and ended up in Oakham instead. Boris was mean and wouldn't let me do any kidnapping, sheepnapping or chickennapping - and he wouldn't even let me use duck tape for its intended purpose.

Now we are in London.

I told Boris about 50 times I hadn't ridden in the rain before, but it wasn't as bad as I expected.

Not got a decent set of one piece waterproofs?

You'll still have to ride really really slow but you'll do so dry/warm. :smile:

I've never ridden in the rain before so I don't need waterproofs!

Boris tried to force his waterproof trousers onto me, but I didn't want him to be wet.

Cheers mate, although it's really not as heavy as it looks. Tent is super light, there is a renntec rack at the back and one dry bag is purely sleeping stuff. The bag on the pillion seat is the main weighty bit, but that's not too bad either :smile:

. It's mainly size tbh!
