  4. These days you can’t, the cost to get going on a moped is prohibitive without some serious funding from a parent. I think generally most lads/ lasses wait until the 125 threshold these days.

    IMO mopeds should be done away with in their restricted form.

    My lad wants a scooter at 16 then a 125 motorcycle at 17 but we’re probably more town based to you.
     
  5. You can always drive a tractor on the road at 16 :D
     
  6. i drop him off at the school bus in a 15yr old panda that kinda looks like it has done the 225k mls that are on the clock already.
    i need to up his street cred. not totally destroy it.

  7. How about a quad, are they ok at 16 if, err, agricultural :thinkingface:
     
  8. takes you back doesn't it? well, if you where to swap the music for a bit of 2tone or the Police.
    you get get one of these new (the rs supermoto) for just over 3k. but the RX wheels and a bigbore kit and we can still go offroad.

  10. I'd ask him! At sixteen if I had been offered a choice between a new Honda SS50 restricted to 29mph, or some ancient, but reliable, in near perfect condition, moped with dirt bike capability, that did 45mph I would have snapped their hand off. At this point I'd add a green one would not be my preference...

  14. So, massey ferguson it is :upyeah::D
     
  15. nah, if i was to push him down the tractor route i wold probably suggest a davie broon crop master or sumit like it.
     
  16. Good choice, but would he look after it :thinkingface:
     
  17. probably not. it would no doubt be left to me t give it its annual coat of Red lead and grease the stubs. that's it, he is getting feck all from me, the lazy wee basturt.
