Mopeds

[PermaBanned]

Not seriously, just thought I'd mention it as they seem to be quite popular.

Of course, just as they were back in the 70's.

I'm really lost with your question; is there any point in getting any other kind of moped over a push bike?

Now here's where i regret posting from my phone at 1 in the morning, but may i point out that i wasn't around in the 70's?

As for the last part, i'm not sure either. So lets just forget about it But still, i'm quite tall anyway so i think a monkey bike would be just too unpractical.

Might i ask why?

Because it rains all the bloody time...look out your window now, hardly moped weather is it?

I was outside... and you can ride mopeds in the rain, just carefully. If it rains during your CBT they will still go through with it.

Any bike in the rain is miserable

Still, it's not like Newcastle has a vastly different climate to the rest of Britain. It's still T-Shirt weather!

yes, mine was in sleet and we still went out. When I left the house in the morning there was 4 inches of snow in the garden and a pile on the roof when I arrived at the bike school.

if you fancy a scooter just go for it, if you can afford it

yes you can get a 125 when you 17 but you can sell the scooter too
insurance will be cheaper on a scooter too
and scooter is actually good fun. no gears just twist and go

and at 17 if you want a car, your insurance will cost just as much as the actual scooter.

end of the day scooter is a really cheap transport.
the cost of getting from a to b in a scooter might rival a bus fare
(don't quote me on this, haven't done any calculation)

What do you know about the Honda PC50? There's a couple going rather cheap as restoration projects on ebay...
