General biker questions?

[Coyote]

Next bike unfaired.. Look at the VT250, Honda VTR250 or Yamaha Zeal, Kawasaki ZR250...... Heaps of choice, with about 35-40hp and good for 160kmh....

Honda CBR250RR without fairing

workboots suck... you slide down the road and they slide off yer feet.... not a pretty picture!!!

I also don't want to spend too much money on a , about max 1500? Could I get a bike for that much? I could save up...

You could off trademe or private sale. The trouble is you are not always sure what you are getting. I would suggest PMing someone like Kickaha who is a pretty decent sorta fella, (or possibly Dangerous tho I have only met him once and don't know very well) and they will be more than happy to help you if you ask, and thank them!

Be patient if going on trademe or something, and as you already have a bike there is presumably no screaming hurry cos at least you are still on the road.
Be a bit picky and something may come your way.

Sift on down to leather Direct sometime in the weekend, and just have a browse at gear and what it is worth. I think sometimes they may even have second hand stuff..........

Good luck chap,

In fact I never have heard of a CG being used on the road at all away from a farm...

Hey I used to have a CG, bloody reliable bikes until the bike ummm errr seized. (Not my fault)

I feel like a dick answering the question but I have had no time to read the entire thread. No the CG110 does not have and enricher thingiemabop and yep its ok to shift upwards through the gears with no cluth but as TS said but idea other way around.

Have fun on theis site mate, you will meet and greet many weirdos here and learn to ignore the others.

oh an one other thing... if ever caught breaking law on bike watch out for the nasty little boys in the comodores with flashing lights on top... theyll knock you off your bike without hesitation

Guess what Mikey, your mother hates you and so do most of us

Hi and welcome to the site. Get some good gear and actually wear it, you will certainly know the difference when the time comes.

Boots:
You could possibly get away with work boots with laces tight and wrapped at the top. I used to use fireman boots with the lace in zip. but standing on metal pegs ate the side of the sole.

Bike boots generally have excellent ankle support and are made with a thicker grade leather. choice of motox or road boots, road boots are easier to walk in.
