seems like a good place to post this
my old/new 50cc is sitting round me parents gathering dust, someone reversed into and knocked it over when it was parked, cracking the plastic casing on both sides of the bike underneath where your feet go.
i'm still waiting for insurance money hopefully by next week i will finally get it as its been 3 months allready.
I brought a new Taishan(Vonroad) 125cc(current scooter) and have another old Taishan125cc which is rusting away with a (magneto problem)i will probably keep for spares for the von road, who ever thought of that name lol could be worse i guess could be barron von road or somthing.
well anway not sure yet but i might have all spares as the scooter is fine apart from 2 bits of plastic
