UltimateJames Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hello everyone , Iv just started a new job over in Castleford and at the mo im living in Wakefield (Horbury) . The problem is its costing me £50 - £60 in petrol a week in the Pugalo just to get there and back !!I dont wanna sell the pug as its needed for carting the family about and being used as a pick-up truck too, So i thought about getting a little moped just for getting to work and stuff ? Iv been on direct gov site and they reckon if i got my car licence before 2001 i dont need to do a CBT test for a 50cc so assuming thats right i wanna buy a ped .Iv looked ont ebay and you can pick one up for about 2-300 quid but tbh they`re all far easten imports and are prob death traps ? So does anyone here have some kind of two wheeled contraption for sale cheap ? prefere somert 80`s - 90`s kind of thing with a bit of something about it ( what happened to all the billy wizs and kawasaki AR 50`s ect ) and what are those ones that look like a ZX Spectrum on wheels iv seen on here ?? Any ideas people ?? Cheers James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 If you value your feet and your arm muscles buy an older Japanese scooter as you'll soon get pissed off with the majority of the Chinese shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 shit, if you'd asked a couple of weeks ago my mum was getting rid of her old Honda, she sold it for £50! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaighty Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 You'll be needing something like this then - ultimate moped shite. However, to ride it you will need a pudding basin helmet, trench-coat, and wellies. No gloves. And a fag on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Horbury to Castleford? That's my route to work!Suppose we'll know whether you get one - I'll be on the grumpy old man thread going on about being stuck behind a scooter for SODDING AGES and turning up to work late and being fired.

warren t claim Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 It's a bit of a grey area regarding needing a CBT. As a former bike instructor I would strongly advise you to do one to get a bit of basic instruction, you may find it fun!Please don't get a Honda Cub, I know they are the vehicle of choice for trainspotters, paedo's and Dungeons and Dragons enthusiasts the world over but you are far better getting something like a 125 that will tolerate long distances.Oh and FS1E's are about £2k for a tidy unrestricted example.

lovejoy Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 would one of these be "shitey" enough for you ??? a whopping 71cc, but step-thru twist-an-go from the Seventies, 120 mpg two-stroke, ultra reliable, I have a few of em..... Leave one locked up for 9 months at a time, come back, and starts up on the 4th kick every time; incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of those - quick off the mark but would top out at 38mph so not brilliant for long-distance commuting. What you want is a Honda Spacy.Class in a glass. I believe Raymanboy may have one for sale, at a very reasonable price of £1,899,995, or swap for a pair of Charlotte Rampling's panties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
