    New wheels

    I just brought a Gilera runner 180sp, its an automatic with front and rear disc brakes with a 180cc 2stroke motor in it. It will do around 130km/hr but will do that all day long. Compared to the CBR it handles like a wet rag but in traffic its extremely Chuckable. It has no wof and the rego is on hold, I need new front and rear tyres for it, head light bulb and the horn is bung (something to do with the electrics).
    Other than that its awesome to be on two wheels again, it pulls wheelies easily as not that I'm any good at them and stoppies are accomplishable but not as easy as on the CBR but its 0-100 time is about the same with about 5seconds. Cornering is not the same with the auto gear box as there is no engine braking to keep you stable, Once my steed is road worthy I guess it will be time to arrange a coro loop ride.

    $1500, but it needs 2 new tyres $120 each and a head light bulb $20 to get a WOF.

    Its got pegs good luck grinding them though, I have seen a video clip where a guy gets his knee down, so it is possible but he was using slicks. Just very hard on such small tyres and shit suspension.

    Is that the thing you were riding yesterday? Looks like you have binned a few of the accessories....

    and perhaps dropped it as well

    I was trying to be a bit diplomatic, but that is an apt description...
