[unrealone]

You could have my ZXR250 for a price *ahem*

[gamgee]

I don't know what to do madboy. I was thinking of downsizing because it would make a significant difference right? An sv400 is not as dangerous. If Someone had a smaller bike I would consider swapping it. I just want something that is going to force me not to enjoy it, just something that will serve the purpose for getting me 3km to work.

swaps eh...
how about a we swap my ninja for your ninja

[750Y]

what a beauty mate! you look like a tallish guy, you may not be comfortable on a small bike. like madboy says, it really is about you & your family, and that is the single most important thing in life bar NOTHING. hope you can resolve it. i wish i could buy it, she's a great fave of mine, but i'm tight at the mo, plus i'm outa practice i'd probly fall off. best luck man..

[Ixion]

Scooter? Seriously, it would get you 3km to work, and maybe your Mum would not be frightened by it? Then after a bit she will get accustomed to the idea of your riding, opening the way for a proper bike again (and by then you could have your full licence).

sigh. I'd buy it, but the Lady High Treasurer would not consent.

[Gremlin]

jeez I wish you were selling this back in mid jan when I was looking everywhere for some to choose from...

That looks in damn good nick, newer, less k's, some performance mods, and the only piece of bloody purple is bobbins.

lovely bike... if only I were shopping, you wouldn't have it any more...

out of interest, are you running a 180 or 190 on the rear??

[N4CR]

Could swap with you but really, you can get killed on one of these 250's just as quick playing 'ghost rider' in traffic or hitting a wall at 180+ :|

I'm 19 but shit... I do some fuckin stupid stuff sometimes and it's a wonder I'm still here when I look back to it.

Change your attitude not your bike. I know your family is upset but just try taking them on the back or something so they can understand you. The smartest thing (and the only smart thing heheh) SixPackBack has said is 'a throttle works both ways'. Remember that and think about your family next time you give it a yank.

[R6_kid:Me]

get out and do some 'advanced riding courses', read lots of riding books, do something/anything to make yourself and your parents feel better about you riding.

Luckily for me my parents are behind me when it come to riding, my mum has every trust that i will come home in one piece, and aslong as she doesnt hear about the speeds i get up to she likes to hear about the rides i go on, who was there etc etc.

At some stage you are going to get back on a bike, its not something you can just give away, its a bug, and once you've got it, you have it for life.

[knee_scraper]

I have got the bug. No doubt it'll bite me again when things have changed.

Whoever buys this bike can expect some serious gorking. Whenever I ride thru town people gork and if I happen to stop and walk into reading cinema for lunch, its rare for someone not to come up to me and say some comment about the bike. It'll be missed.

Um, 180's on the back Gremlin.

[madboy]

Sorry fella, I don't want to pay 29kgs for 4hp. And 3 years older, and over twice the mileage. And those rooted forks seals from those wheelies you pull while cuttin up the traffic, and the fact that it's a bright green Kwaka that's guaranteed to be a marked bike anywhere near the takas...

[knee_scraper]

haha... well said

[Merwood]

wicked bike, dont buy a scooter, if i was in your situation i wouldnt downgrade past 400cc's. go on some riding training like gareth suggested and get your familys confidence up again, then when its time upgrade . All the best for the future man.

[Southmotian]

Have you still got the bike?
