I used to ride a stinger bloody fast little machine for what it was

so that was the 125 and the Wolf was the 90, and i think that there was a 50 that looked the same but it was a single.... weird, wide bars on them all

ps: stinky, your grammer/spelling is bloody good for a 15yr old better than me and I'm more than twice your age

It usually happens that way dude... Once you leave school, grammar and syntax etc go way downhill.. too much reading forums and posting in shorthand at least the message is still gets through though, and with the mangling inherent in the english language, I dont think that a little more will make too much difference...

[SPman]

Red Baron had a couple of Wolfs for sale last year...thought they looked like fun machines!
Quite liked the 125 Stinger...mainly beause I had A TC250 Hustler that was often mistaken for the stinger from behind.

[Motu]

The 50 was the AC50,I don't think it got as far as getting a name - we got one up to 70mph,clocked from the car behind - one hand on the fork leg and chin really on the tank.That Hustler would of been pretty rare SPman,can't even remember seeing one.

The AC50 was called the Maverick!
The Hustler was an American model Street scrambler, but a couple came out here.I got mine from Bill Russels , swapped the scrambler style bars for flats and had a ball, then sold it when I went to Aussie.
For some reason people confuse it with the TS250 Savage! Totally different.

Hey Stinkwhat ever, welcome, don't worry about these jokers, you'll fit it in okay, just don't be so quick to say sorry.Say what you like, but be prepared for a bit of shit back and you'll be

F/F

[Posh Tourer :P]

Wooo, what a mess I've made.
Ok, so I was off the wall, I mouthed off like a 15 year old would do. Especially that paragraph on two stroke learners. Of course, with that paragraph, I never meant to yell to the whole forum that I'm a good rider. Nowhere near it. And as for the comment I made on vintage japanese bikes, yes I'm boasting a little bit, but I'm not saying that I'm superior to all of you. Anyone with brains could've seen that. But, for the less fortunate:

Hey there's people on here who like to troll sometimes.... just get used to it... Some serious discussions and some not so... Its what forums are all about

Oh no, I've been condemned. I think I'm gonna cry. You're taking me a bit seriously for a 15 year old newbie, aren't you?

Using Posh Rider's and your logic, I can now assume that you are linked with the gods.

I never took you seriously at all..... :P And I'm quite happy if you want to link me with the gods

Am I supposed to feel "shamed" at these comments? Honestly, I find more maturity at school. Anyway, you're both being a bit too quick to judge. Bear in mind I've only made two posts so far. I'm not such an obstinate guy, once you get to know me. Let's shake hands and make a new start, shall we?

Ahem, I havn't forgotten about anyone else.

Dont feel shamed, I was looking for a stinging and well thought out rebuttal.... Could have been the start of a great debate

Exactly my thoughts. But my Mum doesn't really like me riding motorcycles, and I want to learn to drive in a manual and our car is an auto. Let's just say (for those who have now assumed that I'm a stuck up spoilt whiner) that the car I will hopefully get will just be a car to learn in. That way I'll have a way to get around when it's pissing down with rain.
I'll make it clear now. I'm not full of myself, I don't think I'm higher than any of you. Probably lower actually, I've only been riding for 8 months.
Actually, I've learnt something from all of this. I'll watch what I say from now on. Happy now?

Watch what you say? nah go for it, the more opinions you put out there the more you'll learn as you get everyone else to post their opinions... eg see the religious ravings thread...

I've been lucky in that both parents ride motocycles and have non-stop for over 30 years..

Oh, and if I was you,I'd want to learn in a manual too.. Autos are convenient, but nowhere near as useful a skill as driving a manual...

Eh? Who's condemning you, matey? Toughen up.

You're supposed to giggle.

I'll make it clear now. I'm not full of myself, I don't think I'm higher than any of you.

You haven't made a single spelling mistake yet in any of your posts, which probably puts you in the top 3% of 15-year-olds in any case.

For future reference, me bike is a 4-stroke 150 that's slower than feck. I use it for commuting across Auckland every day and not much else. Keep that in mind as ammunition for when I get particularly annoying...

[pete376403]

Johnson Iron Horse,British Seagull,BSA Bantam - never before have so few angered so many.

For every motorcyclist upset by a bantam, thousands have been inspired by Honda NSR, Yamaha TZ and Suzuki RG race motors. And it's a bit unfair to introduce Johnson Iron Horse and British Seagull, real men don't ride lawnmowers or outboards

I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to spelling and grammar. The message still gets through any way, but you sound a lot more stupid with stuffed up spelling. In fact, I'm slower if i type like YO WT UP PPLS I GT MYSLF WKKID TV200.

Hee hee, well thought out rebuttal, people looking for debate etc. What a sad, sad life you jokers lead.

Posh Rider, jrandom, you both sound like screwed up contradicting nutters. Excellent.

Oh, I was flicking through the latest motorcycle trader in class today (don't ask) and I saw an FXR. I confused it with an FX125, but they're both taiwanese (or the like) anyway. I kept thinking "slower version of RG".

Watch what you say? nah go for it, the more opinions you put out there the more you'll learn as you get everyone else to post their opinions... eg see the religious ravings thread...

Oho! I havn't looked at it yet, but I'm bound to stir up trouble. I have my own religion, you see. Stay tuned for my fanatical post.

Oh, and if I was you,I'd want to learn in a manual too.. Autos are convenient, but nowhere near as useful a skill as driving a manual...

There's no skill involved in cars. You turn a wheel and stuff happens. The only reason they're useful is when it's pissing down with rain or when it's snowing. I'm almost falling asleep when I drive our auto. At least I might have to think a bit with a manual.

Come to think of it, the last time I rode a bike it started hailing as I was coming home. Interesting, that was.

But this is very surprising.

That Hustler would of been pretty rare SPman,can't even remember seeing one.

My Dad has a Hustler. Yes, they are very rare. His is unrestored and doesn't go all that well (and I don't mean overall performance wise, I mean getting up the driveway wise). So I hope you sold it to a sucker for a dizzying price, they're rare you know.

Posh Rider, jrandom, you both sound like screwed up contradicting nutters. Excellent.

You're getting the hang of it, but you're supposed to demonstrate our screwyness with chalk marks around the nut fragments and examples of contradictions.

Yup, that's about right. The FXR is a Malaysian import, made for that market where they like small reliable bikes with a wee bit of grunt. You could think of it as a four-stroke RG.

There's no skill involved in cars. You turn a wheel and stuff happens.

Tell that to Messrs. Gronholm and Schumacher.

[Two Smoker]

Ill show you some skill in a car if you want.... (i consider myself a faster driver than rider) You will be surprised what a car can do, and how much skill it takes to do those things....

[Stinkwheeler]

What did Posh Rider say about contentious comments?

Maybe I need to be a slight bit more specific. There's no skill involved in ROAD car driving, where you can't reach the speeds of anywhere near what Shickelgruber and Gronholm could reach. But I never thought of car racing for one moment, perhaps because it's so boring. Except for Formula Fords, which is proper organised warfare.

My first impression of cars is that they're stodgy and unresponsive. Bear in mind that the car I'm currently learning to drive in is a tinpot automatic Peugeot 306, so maybe that'll change. Then again, it probably won't.

You irresponsible hoon. If you don't watch out the LTSA will be buying your shoes.

Well, you show me skill in car driving, and I'll lapse into a coma. At the end of the day I don't really care. But show me skill in motorcycle riding, then I'll be interested. Say, if you ever go to Manfield ride days watch out for me. I've never been to one, but hopefully I'll be going along to one soon with my Dad. I'll be there on the TV200, toddling along with the slow group.

Maybe my mind's been warped by the LTSA. CURSE YOU SLIME FOR RAISING THE PRICE OF REGISTRATION!!!!

And a Formula 1 car could hardly be considered as a car. Sure, it's got four wheels, but it's more like a flying carbon fibre coffin with a V10 engine in the back. Besides, MotoGP bikes can go faster in a straight line. Only reason they're slower is when said stuff happens the F1 cars are faster.

Anyway, I use F1 races for when I can't go to sleep. It's a sure fire cure for ummm, that sleeping disorder, can't remember what it's called.

Four stroke RG? *COUGH* *WHEEZE*

[Kwaka-Kid]

Ill show you some skill in a car

isnt that like an oxymoron? wait - Milky i need ur help - its not the name of something so its not actually an oxymoron right?
Anyways, the words skill and car never EVER EVER at LEAST ON THIS SITE go in the same sentance together unless its preceeding the words Lack Of!!!
Cars dont take skill to drive! but motorcycles! im not worthy!

The only way i rank skill in a car is in accidents! If you havnt had any- then your as skilled as they get! means u cant have hurt any m/cyclists!
