What, chives?

I had one of those er, several years ago. It was horrible.

When I was seventeen I really, really wanted a TS125 Suzuki in orange tank version. Thought they looked great. That black high level exhaust with chrome heat shield/leg guard etc.
Rented one for a week in Jersey. Had a cr*p battery so poor lights and indicators but that was just the lousy service from Herbie Tostevins Bike Rental !
This looks good as an army bike style IMHO. Have fun!!!!!

i was 14 when i got mine, got caught riding it on the road and got banned before i had a license lol
recommend you put a tube on top (inside) of the carb slide tho to restrict it (stop it going all the way open) - may be a bit too much for a little un, at first anyway.

It seems like a good buy for just £300 Marra, I bet your daughter is well impressed.

I had a TS100 when I was a lot younger than I am now, at the time I thought it was a great little dual purpose bike. A mate of mine had one with a high and low gear ratio lever on it, that made it a much better as a dual purpose bike IMO.

Much later on I has a TS100ERZ (mono shock version) as cheap transport for work. That thing used to fly for a little 100cc bike. Also I only had to fill her up every two weeks

looks in good nick for its age, and I as a bonus you can do a bit of green laning on it.

I have great fun on my old Kwak 125 roadbike, but it would be 10 times better if I could use it off road............was thinking of adding drop bars and an expansion pipe to complete the "re living your teenage years" but perhaps I can fit some knobblies off the trials bike.

well had a couple of hours round the local back lanes yesterday on it, had a rite good laff Mmmmm 2 stroke fumes

i used to love the smell of castrol R - still do when i get a whiff of it brings back memories...
when i couldn't afford cassyR i used Trex cooking oil - works brilliant - used to leave a trail of chippy smell behind me and give everyone munchies!
Veg oil ftw

Got to agree with that-used to love the smell my RGV250 used to leave behind

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Castrol R......... I can almost smell it now

Is that a 'pimp' mobile in the background?
