Hi everyone,
I thought I'd say hello, I'm James, from Brighton. I've been a long time 2-wheeler, although most of that time was spent on bigger 400 and 600cc motorbikes. After a bit of a hiatus from 2 wheels, and a couple of babies later, I got hold of a PX125 to pootle around town on.
I snagged a PX125 in full Mod-trim, pictured below, with a 180 Polini cylinder kit and a Sterling exhaust. It was good fun for a summer, pootling about every now and then, but I did buy it for a commuting bike so I did eventually strip off most of the extra bits. The lights (not wired in) were cheap plastic which obviously didn't last in all-weather, most of the chrome bits also immediately rusted up in the sea air.
It's been off the road for a year now since I temporarily SORN'd it while I got the exhaust switched over. Temporary turned into a year due to kids meaning a "quick job of switching over the exhaust" didn't get a look-in. I did start this weekend but of course I almost immediately hit a roadblock (as discussed in the tech section).
Hopefully I'll be back on the road soon enough, and might bump into some of you down by the sea-side some time.
