Expand When did I fall off the Bandit or the Chinese thing? I have dropped the Bandit doing a u turn but 240kgs not including the load is fine by me. Actually coming off while road riding it's the Himalayan twice. Admittedly stupidly but I bet almost every time someones come off their bike on here it's been stupid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yep, it's always the silly one that catch you out. I fell of one of my previous Donkeys in Rownham services at 07.30 in the morning , it didn't realise that I was frozen and couldn't pull the brake in , I came to a halt with feet down and then just fell off 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I've done that off road but with under growth trapping my foot on the peg but Mandi's done the trouser leg thing at the last fuel stop before the channel tunnel, in front of everyone. No damage other than pride thankfully. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 On 07/09/2023 at 13:14, XTreme said: Why would you want a 125 Clive? Expand 1......I ride alone (my riding buddy (occasionally) is wrapped up with his touring buddies lately) 2......I rarely ride, and when I do its only at most 10 miles from home. The majority of local roads are are 30, 40 or 50mph limits, I have never been on the motorway with the scoot. 4.....it will be something to do, the scoot is in such good condition that all I can do is wash or polish it, at my rate of milage it will be 2024 before it needs a oil change. 5.....Cheap to tax and insure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I do not think its off-road credentials are very good, from what I read the suspension is more road orientated. Nowhere around here to ride off road, if you do the law is soon on your back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
