    PFFT!

    Mrs Donor can kick start Daisy - so anything smaller could not possibly be an issue for Miss X!

    She's welcome to come see Mrs Donor for lessons
    At the 2007 Westpac Ride:

    Donor: So ya glad you're a Biker?

    Minnie: F**k yeah!

    good project for you Xerxes
    I've got a C50 that my son rides everywhere - bought it for $50 2 years ago. All plastic intact, does 70km/h. It's great for popping into town on. Kickstarts first time every time, but usually gets bump started by pushing it to about 5km/h (walking pace) while sitting on the seat then clipping it into 2nd. Bring on gas @ $2/litre!

    Just trying to get Mrs Bonez in the habit of getting vehicals inspected on a regular basis as she'd never had one before I arrived on the scene. The outfit went bust a some years ago.

    The C50 did see service with a step son for a few years before I got it back, due to teenage neglect,and parked her up. Shouldn't take much to get it going again.

    Here's some m/c trivia. When the Honda 50cc step through was introduce in the UK. An endurance and reliability test on the Goodwood circuit was done by 20 riders using 3 machines. They covered more than 15,800 miles in seven days(around 5,000miles each).

    One was timed at 51.43 mph at the end of the test.
