My kids wanted a safer and more comfortable ride for their poor old dad and presented me with a new ride: a new T120. Dumbstruck is a weak word to describe my feelings. On my 67th birthday,april 30th we went to the dealer's and ordered a T120 Black.The bike should be due in july, possibly august. IT IS THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST BY NOW! I suppose nine out of ten bikes bought today are T120 Blacks... What's wrong with their production lines? I saw a chance to sell my ten year old T100 in early may. Holding on to it would diminish the occasions to give it a new owner: the riding season was getting near. To get me a ride to commute to work my eldest son loaned me his winter ride: a twostroke Peugeot moped. The thing makes 31 MPH but the brakes are hardly there. It takes a healthy dose of switching of the (already weak in my case) common sense. It has front and rear shohohohocks, praise the Lord, but my kidneys will slide south if this darned T120 keeps me waiting much longer. See and weep! Sincerely,Greystroke

How the mighty have fallen! Ah well. You'll appreciate the T100 all the more when (if?) it arrives.

Mmmmm..I can smell the two stoke oil from here! I am quite partial to 2 strokes, I have recently bought a 1977 Yamaha RD400. I have re-built the engine from the crank up, and she runs great! Just waiting for my Jim Lomas expansion chambers to re-live my youth! Hope the T120 arrives soon Thieu!
