Certainly worth doing a refresher as riding and observation techniques have advanced so much over the years.

I would be interested to hear feedback from anyone with a Chinese machine.

Miles on Ebay so someone buying them.

you could try a trike and tow it behind you, also ride it on a car license.

Hi John
Nice idea... Is that true that you can ride a trike on a car license? I never bothered (unfortunately) to take my bike test when I was young, I preferred to be a real rebel

Luckily I never got caught either, but I would certainly not do it nowadays with the volume of traffic on the roads, but a trike???? I did consider one of these before and asked the question on another forum, unfortunately never got a sensible reply though.

He Keith

Try one of these if you fancy a trike a snip at £30k

Trikes can indeed be ridden on a car license. And yea I have had one in my past too..

However, I would strongly suggest the newer type "scooters" as Forestboy said. Whilst Trikes are fun (wheelieing in reverse is a real laxative the first time you do it), if you want to use it for going places, it has the drawback of only being able to go where a car can, and you can't nip down the outside of a line of traffic - why? because you are still a car width wide!

Whatever you choose, just have FUN

A few years ago i was selling a few chinese m/cycles. Given the choice between a 10 year old Jap bike and a new Chinese one. The Jap wins hands down. Chinese bikes are made to a price, I have not found one yet that looks like it would stand up to long term daily use. I know someone who runs a MOT station and lots of the Scooters fail on stiff rear suspension or worn front forks.
Take a look at the resale value of the imports a little over 50% after a year seems the norm.

We have a 125 ped and a Kawasaki ZX 636 .. prefer the Kwack everytime ... unless going only a mile or two to the shop then the ped rules as has underseat storage
