About bloody time as well!
Who in their right mind would give a 5 year old a machine capable of 60mph, then let them out on the roads with it?
They shouldn’t ban the machines, but they should be ridden in a controlled environment on private land until the child is old enough to ride them on the road and has the correct license and what have you.Of course by then they could get a regular sized bike.
These mini motos seem to be have been made for young children to enjoy motorbikes.
But of course the yokes of society ride them on the paths and what have you.Of course the little scroats will still ride these machines on the road and paths despite any so called “laws” and the idiotic parents will still let their little ones out on the roads and say “oh they’ll be all right” until they fly under the wheels of a car or other vehicle then it’s the driver of the vehicle that goes down for man slaughter or dangerous driving.
Great post Radar, fantastic I look forward to seeing opinions on this.
Hmm.. allright Gix, thanks!
I’ll try that throttle blipping business the next time I’m out riding (this friday)
The bike only ever ‘tails when I’ve been going really fast and pretty much dump the clutch out under braking, If I’m, like you say, less cackhanded things go a lot smoother.
Cheers Hun
Bloody flat cappers! lol
So if I do fishtail again (and I will) keep the throttle open and balanced?
I just want to get this issue sorted so that when I get my bigger bike I don’t panic and really hurt myself!
£25 in petrol just to get to Leeds? is that £25 there and £25 back? or for the whole trip?…

Originally posted by GixUse the throttle and the gears to slow, ie, bring your revs up the range as you drop the gear so it matches engine speed as you let clutch out.
It sounds like you are changing down too soon, what bike is it? V twin? Use to happen on my 600 when I first got it, going down to second, but its more common on twins because of the greater compression hence greater engine braking, its how my dad high sided his at 30 mph lol, think a lot of newer twins fitted with slipper clutches to improve down changes.High side at 30mph? lol…holy bugger!
It’s only on the 125 CG Gix, but it’s still a bit worrying… hehe
So blip the throttle before letting the clutch out and that should stop the bike from ‘tailing? And lurching me forwards?
I don’t think fitting a slipper to a Honda CG would be at all wise… lol
Also good call on moving it to this section [
][]Thanks Gix
xxxNice one, Thanks Gix
I’ve found to email address and I’ll ask her about the donation ASAP (I have a guest staying till thursday you see, so I will be busy)Out of curiocity… how much would it cost to get you to come see me?
lolGix do you have anyway I could get a donation to you?
Paypal, address or even come by and collect it?It’s not much, £5 but since I can’t show up this is the next best thing.
I’ve had a few family members die from cancers, that’s why I wan’t to donate something.
Ah my word that looks like a fantastic road Gix (the moor)
Sloper’s buel looks amazing, I didn’t realise just how big they are.
It looks bigger than your Gixxer!
Is it an XBS lightbing he’s got? I’m not good with Buels [

BUT while one was talking to me, the other was checking every aspect of my bike – it was simply a spot-check to hastle bikers going to Sherburn.Yeah mate, because a thief would obviously admit to having stolen goods! lol
I don’t know sometimes it is beggars’ belief at hearing how inept some of these coppers are at their job.
you have to be joking?
