Check this link: http://productline.co.nz/index_files/Page877.htm . Some of these little monsters are 110cc, and have claimed speeds of 70kph out of the shop (which is probably conservative). Lighting – zip, reflectors to the rear – zip. No way can these things be mopeds.

Now for some good news

There was I going to work in the dark and early yesterday morning, and as I swung into Plunket Ave off Wiri Station (on the wife's Burgman, instead of my pushbike) who do you imagine I saw by the roadside with a broken down mini-chopper?

Oh, how sweet is revenge! I rode up to Mr Headbutt, and asked him if he needed a hand. "Yeah, cuz," quoth he, "Could ya shine ya light over here?"

And I said, "NO! And you're still a lackwit!" And I buzzed off.

I'm so brave when I've got 250 little jappa cc's for a getaway.
