Woo hoo. |  | | I went to Harrogate this weekend to pick up my CG125 - great! Then I drove it back to Oxford - should have been 220 miles but as I kept getting lost, took me 300! Gah! I'll post pictures as soon as I find the memory card reader for my camera, but am generally pleased. It seems pretty reliable. | |

Although I did keep getting lost, got stuck in a few traffic jams and had loads and loads of breaks. Also it was raining for a lot of the journey, and once it got dark I slowed right down. But still, a long time! | |

Yes well, fun. Hmm. Bits of it were fun. Bit's weren't fun! It was a long, long way to go  I did see loads of other bikes and not ONE nodded at me or anything! Frankly I wasn't very impressed, if bikers are snobbish about people on small bikes or with L-plates, I'll go get in my 1.3 litre engined car and tootle around running over people on their 'tiny' litre-engined bikes. | |

No! Surely my 1.3 litre car with its massive top speed of 115 mph and 0-60 time of 13 seconds can beat any litre bike off the mark! (PS: JOKE!!!) | |
