    After 3 1/2 months...............

    of public transport hell................I'm back on two wheels!

    50cc of 2-stroke fury to be precise.

    I got up a whole hour later this morning and still arrived at work 15mins before i would have on the bus.

    So if you see someone crouched down, trying not to hold up traffic going over the harbour bridge, gimme a wave.

    Oh, and incase you're wondering, it's a gasgas sm50 with no restrictor and a larger main jet.So it should do about 90km/hr.

    Good on 'ya.
    I had a suzuki of this style once (TSX). It was bored out to 80cc (not by me - not sure how such a large increase was made) for racing in a beach racing series and was great fun. It would do about 90ks, and around town and over the bridge that would do you fine.
    Good for a bit of a forest ride too.

    Yeah, the bike is heaps of fun, weighs less than 95kgs with fuel.
    Apparently you can get a 75cc kit for it, so will be looking into that shortly.

    Hey EJ, I might be coming back to Wednesday nights, but it's out west now isn't it?
    not quite as convenient for me as i live on the shore.
