    Is that a Korean scooter??

    "Nippon Seiki" could be translated to "Japanese Cunts" in Korean....

    No kidding


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Rofl! Bastards.

    What about Mainfreight?

    EDIT: Mainfreight Precision, door-to-door, about $260.

    Mana Transport, drop off in Chch depot, $190.

    Check out this website for suggestions on tyres.

    My C50 runs a Cheng Shin front and a IRC 4ply rear. These are the cheapest toughest tyres ever. They never wear and when I bought it, the previous owner had 9psi in it. I wouldn't recommend it but the sidewall was tough enough to support the weight of the bike. Not sure where you can get those these days.
    Any Bike shop should have a Forbes and Davies cataloque that should list them and "other brands.

    Alright, all booked to go with Mana Transport. Had spoken to Wellington branch before (first number I found on teh intarweb), they told me $190. Rang up Auckland branch to book it all in, and they told me it would actually be $327

    Told them thanks but no... rang Wellington back, this time had it all done for $160. Half what Auckland told me. Bizarre. I pre-paid it all via credit card, so when I go to pick it up at Auckland depot they don't suddenly decide to inflate the price 100%.

    Here by end of next week with a bit of luck!

    Good effort!

    Make sure you let us know when you have "restored" it, personally I am hoping you go with one of the previous photos on this thread.....
    Missus: What the f*&k is that???!!!! Where the f*&k do you think that's going??
    Me: It's a [insert old broken vehicle here] can't you tell?
    Missus: Oh for f*&k's sake... [slams door]
    Me: Phew, lucky she didn't see what's on the trailer!
