New winter hack

Picking this up on Sat for £200. Plan on using it when the weather is really crap like currently. Always worrying about dropping the storm in ice and snow.

I had one of these for 3 years and put nearly 20k miles on it, before I got my full licence, so I know what I'm letting myself in for with a chinese bike,etc, etc. Will just have to spend a couple of weekends stripping it down and greasing everything properly. Ive asked him to fit the original 125 engine again as he has the carb for it.

I do look like I'm riding a minimoto when I'm on one of these though :lol:

I was wondering about that. And have you seen the size of those mirrors. They look like an A4 sheet. :lol:
