the beast.doc The Beast ....

Interesting , I have always considered putting a rear top box on.. if crash helmet in there then technicaly i am legal then ?? cool

Mind you it may spoil "The Beasts" sleek lines

The reason i ask is i have a 75cc Motorbike ,which i use for cruising on a weekend.. Whilst the machine doesnt hit more than 40mph , it did once reach 47mph when i was on a mad day race mode through the Peak district ! this was downhill at the time and i was egged on as i had the walkman on under the helmet and goggles blasting "Born to be wild" which does tend to make you more of a rebel...
I am intending to bring the "beast" as i call it ,with me to Spain but unsure as to wether or not bring the Crash helmet and my goggles . if the Helmet isnt needed then i could sell or swap it on Ebay and use the money to buy a new Real Ale making kit , "Real Ale for men Home brewed in your bath in 5 easy stages" .. If Helmets are compulsory then obviously i will not sell it..

So any advice on this urgently sought..

Phew....reckon u should bring your Crash helmet, plus goggles to Spain.

hi featherybum

I would like to take the "Beast" sentimental stuff i guess , many a blast along the sea front done on her looking cool , ohh memories memories ... But after reading a few bits seems maybe she may have to go , as the hassles registering it and stuff , simpler to get 1 out there i think..

maybe i may go up to a 100cc perhaps , yes i know more power but sure i will get the hang of it in time . maybe call it "Beast 2" will still keep the goggles and crash helmet so should still look cool when cruising the marina areas and stuff ..
