All depends on age and what cc bike you can ride to do it.I did mine on a Suzuki 650 seen as im an old t**t and passed both mod one and two in a week.In practice I just could not make the speed so god know what it's like on a 125.Good luck.

Hi guys and girls can any one tell me what this is?I picked up my new 150 super today but it has no ignition and the lights are as bright as a footballers wives convention.The bikes been off the road since 96 and the previous owner seems to think it needs a battery fitting to improve the lights.I got a new battery of him but he can't remember how it was wired in.Also there is what's looks like an ignition switch in the bottom left corner that I would like to wire in.Any help most welcom.Cheers Al.

I had the same prob on my p200.I was worried for a while but just turned out to be the exhaust flange had come loose.It had started as I ran it in after been stood for years.I used fire putty on it and has been fine since.

Hi I wonder if any one can shed light on my insurance problem?i have been trying to get a quote for my next scoot.A1971 Douglass Vbb 150 super.No matter who I have tried today no one lists the 150 super just the 125.My current insurer for my P200 swinton had to ring the underwriter and gave me a quote of £330.00.A bit blinking steep, my other scoot is just £130.00.Cheers Al.

Hi I wonder can any one help?The two lights one green one orange maybe the problem.When my indicators are on the green ones flash and the orange ones don't light at all.I also have no speedo illumination or main beam indicator.I tried earthing the speedo today but it just seems to earth out causing the bike to nearly cut out.Should the indicators flash the orange warning lights not the green?Is the green the main beam indicator?The scoot is a 1982 P200 and had a new wiring harness a couple of years ago.It normally does not bother me as I normally ride during the day but now the nights are pulling in its irritating .Many thanks Al.

Hi I'm Al back into scooters after a 25 year hiatus.I last had a scooter back in 1986 a Li 175 that I spent my collage grant money on over the summer that year.After a few months graft I got it all finnished,apart from the mot and been a stupid git had a ride around the block to be taken out by a Austin allegro.The allegro won,I nearly lost my leg from the knee down.My old man then while in hospital sold it without me knowin.Having wanted another after so many years but with limited funds a friend of mine who had two vespas in his living room let me have one at a price I could not resist.Its a A plate Douglas P200 this had been off the road for 23 years in show room condition just needing a polish after been restored by his nephew who had had a small accident on it and taken it off the road. .Hopefully my photos have posted.Trying of iPhone.
