Re: VESPA - Good looking RR - Rusty Retro
eh?
Unfortunately, when someone else quotes the rubbish you post, I can see it. And on this occasion I chose to respond. And, out of curiosity, I decided to unhide your response, just on the off-chance that you'd become any less obtuse, tedious or offensive in the last two years. Fat chance.
That's JIALING. Not that there's anything from one of those with moving parts on either of mine.
Couldn't care less, old fruit. But then if you hadn't been ruining yet another thread by questioning another member's choice of (potential) rides in your usual charmless fashion, I probably wouldn't have bothered to call you out on bullshitting about finding the holy grail that is - wait for it - a magnetic sump plug
Source please? I spend very little time on any message boards these days.
Yeah, I did well. Exceptionally well considering half of the fixings (and the instructions) were missing when you sold it to me! So much for your reputation of being fastidious about your gear, eh?
Nonsense is you claiming one is necessary. But then you'd know that if you've covered half the distance I have on these bikes (one of which is now 32 years old).
No, nothing like that. I just feel a bit sorry for you, and the poor sods who put up with the drivel you spout.
And you too

Priceless. There are fence posts that know more about the Honda Helix (and the use of apostrophes) than you.

Twist'n'Go rated everything, though, didn't they?Data wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 3:48 pm I've not owned a Helix but I've stripped a Helix engine completely and rebuilt it with many new parts. Virtually a brand new engine by the time I'd finished. Never saw the owner again afterwards. Nice bikes though from what I know of them. Rode a Jailing CN250 clone and boy, that was real good. The importers were based in Ipswich at the time, just a stone's throw from where I live. The late Twist & Go magazine were testing one down there at the same time I was there. They rated it too!
China Motorcycles in Ipswich were the fly-by-nights who imported the one I bought for the bodywork, lights etc. It had been registered as a 125, presumably to make it easier to get rid of. It came with bills for replacement wheel bearings and final drive bearings at less than 3000km. The rear clutch collapsed and snapped the belt at 8000km, which is when I bought it. Absolute junk - built, imported and sold by cowboys.
The JL-250 is now officially extinct on UK roads; that one in Julian's lean to is on its way to becoming a collectors item
