    The bouncy springy forks on that A100 make it strangely fun and comfortable to ride :O
    And the squeaky sound of it moving around when the engine is cut is priceless.

    You should see the reactions of cagers when I do it next to them .. or behind them... and they look around to see if something is wrong with their car!

    I've been able to do wheelstands for the first time ever! By lifting the front end up ... priceless when you see the looks on people around ya!

    I want to ride into town, wait for the lights for people to cross, then I will dismount and walk it around like a bicycle, go over the road and keep on tootling! Will be doing it just to psych the cagers!

    Looks like a good un.Don't kill it on your ride cause in s few years there will be punters around willing to pay big $ for it as a "collector's bike"
    Just be carefull on the road cause I've noticed that it's often the little bikes that bite you.Something to do with the idea that they are so small and gutless that you can ride them how you like.

    OH!

    And correct size plug tool for your bike! (Both if you really want to impress peoples...)
    Mallets sound good - I was trying to take off my rear wheel and was following the instructions in the book, but where it said 'draw out the shaft' it should have said 'swear a lot, get some vice grips, bash your thumb really badly, srpay a can of CRC, swear some more, wreck your shirt, bend a nail, etc etc etc....

    Considering my fondness as a collector, I don't think I will be able to get rid of Pippi... she is my first suzuki after all! I now have a bike to go down to the local shops with! Thinking of putting a shopping basket on it!

    Howsabout one of those sashaying Hawaiian hula girls that you stick on the front dashboard?

    Mind you, wouldn't be hard to put in an underlit disco dancing floor, metal pole and some twirly whirly coloured lights ... Bomchickawowwow!
