my son is a prime example of young 125 owners who get the bike either new or secondhand with some MOT left on it, gets it derestricted and thrashes the snot out of it until it blows up, then goes and buys another one and does the exact same thing because they're living in an age where it's cheaper to buy a new inkjet printer than buying ink for the printer you already have, and they treat bikes as just as disposable. There's little respect for the machine and even less regard for their own safety - evident when you see them bipping around in half helmet, t-shirt and shorts, and airmaxes or vans doing 50 on a 49cc screaming scoot with a glowing engine.

I'm a bit of an old git and only just recently got my CBT! (wish I did it years ago...)

If you get something wrong with your car, it just stops. If you get something wrong with your bike, you could die. Spend the money, maintain the bike. How much is your life worth? Maybe if you dont love your bike that much, maybe don't ride?

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot force it to drink...

Great video. If your 1st bike is new and you see the price don't forget to add on delivery charge, helmet, boots, gloves, waterproof jacket and trousers, 1st and 2nd service, plus a contingency for parts you might need once you own it including rack, top box, Garmin, taller screen, tail tidy, centre stand, backpack, usb, heated grips, additional front lights, plus a year's insurance. If it's a used bike then however trustworthy the seller put something aside for a full service including some consumables. I liked the point about a lot of rubbish advertised on Marketplace and I saw posts about the pitfalls of buying used 125s which are the most likely to have been poorly maintained, dropped, ridden with audible mechanical issues, had questionable extras such as through-exhausts fitted, and been thrashed every day of their lives (to keep up with traffic).

Being able to "afford" a bike is something I see in forums and FB groups all the time and I'll probably get shot down for saying this but bear in mind I waited years and years to get get to a point where I could properly afford biking.People doing their CBT and asking if trainers and puffer jacket would be ok because they can't afford the gear or people buying bikes in shit conditions because they are cheap and wondering why they never run. If you are looking to get a bike never look to scrape by. Get decent gear, buy a decent bike, budget for insurance, breakdown cover, MOT, services, new tyres, potential breakdowns and cost of parts. If you comfortably do this then you can afford to have a bike, if can't then I'm afraid you can't afford one.

I have just put around £800 into my 1986 NC21, DX pain, but worth it, she looks a bit raggedy on the outside but mechanically shes almost brand new.

@zephyr139

The worst ones on the car forums are the people who say how do I fix this ruined tyre or is it ok to drive on etc. The answer is buy new tyres. If you say that they will throw a hissy about how not everyone has money to spend on brand new tyres etc etc. If you can't afford to keep your vehicle safe, don't drive it.

@DaveMurphyEngineer

Good ol' Spicy being sensible and preaching common sense. Bless ya!

@twist_of_the_wrist

When I got my bike, I had about £300 for repairs and maintenance. It needed a good service, and my exhaust was scratched, Luckily for me, i found an exhaust for £299 so I replaced it straightway. 😂

@AyAyRon.

You should see that state of my motorcycle shoes 😂 big holes and split soles along the footpad, patched with sole cutouts. Not bad for £70

I've had to block a guy that had the sense to ask for help adjusting he's chain. I did it for him and ran him through how to do it. The next time I found he's cush drive was so slack I could move the sprocket by hand with ease so I adjusted the chain again and highlighted he needed a chain both sprockets and the cush drive rubbers. Even found them all for him noted prices and places to get them. A month later he had got a seat cowl and sprayed it and fitted it at 3 times the cost of the maintenance parts. He then sent a video message showing he's chain had fallen off and saying that he knew it needed replacing but he's missus hadn't listened and hadn't allowed him to buy the parts needed.

@Ilovetriumphbikes

It’s a great post, but as you know… sometimes there’s absolutely no telling some people no matter what you say… 😊

@NoSkills2660

I had a chain snapping on my mt5 going between my back wheel when I was younger.. lucky I wasn’t riding fast at that time because it locked up my wheel so fast

@alastairtheduke

This man has more sense in him than a 100 people put together these days

@anxiousappliance

You're awesome, this is a masterpiece of frustration and probably futility.

@Yougotrats

I agree but at the moment I’m running a gaderaid bottle as a chain slider

Omg, you nailed it on the head. Unfortunately, there are some real muppets and ask the most stupid question, it’s like saying on a medical health group. I have a chest pain…what wrong…give me link etc etc. it makes you wonder if some folk are incapable of looking for the bulb size instead of asking for a link lol.
