first off i had a moto roma moped
got em to work and back, got to college and back, wasnt fast, wasnt brilliant. but it did the job. sold that and bought a 125 when i was 17.
saw it on ebay, was a suzuki rg125, from knowledge i already had on bikes i knew it was something strange, it was un-faired. at this point i only knew of the faired version. turned out it was a rg125 wolf...how ironic! was low mileage (i think lol) painted in the blue/white of suzuki. it looked pretty straight. parted with £900 of my hard earnt pennies. had a ride on it before i took it home and yipeeeee! was so much fun!
got home and went down the trading estate and had a play, then if i fell off i wouldnt endanger anyone else bar myself, a common thing for me to do when i get a new toy. straight to the trading estate before the road lol. i was finding it hard not to stall it at first, after a bit of thought i pout it down to the bars being pointed down like the faired version. i changed them for some upright bars and some new brake hoses so the brakes were still connected. works out the clutch cable was buggered, quite how i cant remember. changed that and it was all good. put it in the shed and waited for my birthday to come round. got it out one day to clean the dirt off it and noticed the paint was C**p, it was house paint! another thing that happens with me is most new engine driven toys get painted pretty soon after being purchased. this was my first bit of bodywork, the tank was full of filler! knocked the filler out them pulled the dent out, took it back to bare metal and primed it. rubbed down the cowling on the rear and repaired a tiny crack. took it to a friend of dads to be painted, didnt fancy the blue/white anymore, so had a block red instead. shined up nicely!
