I've been riding a 150cc motorcycle for 8 months.

reached 100mph, crashed 4 times, $3500 damage (not bothering to repair, as long as the back wheel spins) and love every minute of it.

motorcycles are cool you just give them shit and they love it.

cars suck. The autoturnoff indicators annoy me as much as apples non maximisable windows...the motorcycle felt natural as soon as I hoped on.

Oh and its a great excuse to wear really cool leathers :P

Uhhh ... so you crashed 4 times at 100 mph ? or less ? (I'm betting less) ... and were not seriously injured ?

I don't believe he crashed 4 times at 100mph, I think he means it can reach speeds of 100mph and he's crashed 4 times, I suspect these events are unrelated.

I've only crashed twice, once when I I was on my way back from twon and I stupidly decided to take it off road, I thopugh to myself "hmm I wonder where that road goes". The road gradually got thinner and thinner until it was just a dirt track, my back wheel spun in a pot hole and I came off into a ditch. The other time I was pulling out of work onto the main road thinking I didn't have to be carful as it wasn't frosty or wet and my back wheel sliped on a cat's eye and I slipped over. None of my accidents were serious, I escaped from both with minor bruises even though I wasn't wearing any protective trousers but I've got myself some now.

I don't know what you call them in your area but where I live a cat's eye is a glass ball with a reflective backing. These are mounted in pairs on small blocks of rubber embedded in small iron inserts in the middle of the road, they got their name because when your head lamps shine on them they look like cat's eyes. When they are wet they can become slipery and become dangerous to motorcyclists just like drain and manhole covers.

Ohhh .. those things ... I dunno what they're called here ... I suppose cat eye would be appropriate even though there is a chance a real cat eye could also be on the road ... it could just pop out when it's being squashed by say a large truck

There was once a rat on the road, it was spasming all over and shit ... I almost ran it over ... nah, let it suffer :D

LOL I think a cat's eye would be smashed to a pulp togeather with its brains and guts if a cat was run over by a lorry, I suppose I don't really want to find out. :D

the first one retired because I wore it out (925,043 miles on a 1987 Accord and it was still in good working order).

What the fucking FUCK?!?  That's insane!  You should've gone for a million.  A guy did that with a Volvo once, and upon showing proof to the company, they awarded him with a new one!

I heard about that too, they wanted to take it to pieces to see what had made the engine so robust, I bet the person who bought it off you made some money.

I would guess you can trick those things... Can't you?

Shit how did you get 100mph out of your 150cc motorcycle?

I have a Honda CG125 and it does just over 70mph at a push!

What sort of engine does it have, is it a 2-stroke or 4-stroke?

Mine's 4-stroke, more reliable, lower fuel consumption but much slower. To be honest I'm thinking about getting something a bit quicker, nothing too big as I don't want to kill myself, perhapps something twist and go a 250cc Vespa.

I got a fxr150 20 bhp 6 speed box and a 1km 20 degree slope. The fxr is a great little machine, the only 4 stroke below 250cc with a bit of racy tuning I know of. cost me about 1400US to put it on the road. Its runs on fumes as well, is only 5 years old/18000km electiric speedo etc.

If you get a faster bike get better tyres and leathers and hope :)

Its only the corners you have to worry about so as long as your brakes work and you're concentrating you'll be sweet.
