Back when i was 16 i was at some girls house with my buddies and the chick that lived there asked for my keys so she could put away my helmet in the bike.

About 20 mins later i here some girl crying and comes into the house and i hear that she drove my bike under a parked car!

I was like what??? I didnt even know by bike was gone. :evil:

My 2 week old 88 Honda elite 50 LX was trashed! All the panels on one side was cracked and scratched to all *.

I was *.. Drove home and showed my parnets and my Dad drove right over there and had a chat with her father.. he said I told her she was never to ride anyones bike ever so i'm not responsible for the damages.

My Dad thought he was an * and now says he should of taken him to court and sued his *. Wish he would of.

Never knew the girl before then and there was no parents home at the time so its kinda funny how the guy says he told her not to ride my bike.

I got all the panels replaced.. I probably still have them all and more as my friends always trashed my bike and i never put a single scratch on it.

My Dad always told me DONT LET ANYONE ELSE RIDE YOUR BIKE! Wish i would of listened.

Yep cant trust people, especially people inexperienced with little bikes. Guys hop on these thinking "its just a little 50" not realizing the 10inch tires make it pretty d*** touchy.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Yikes.. you'll be paying on that for years to come! :shock: heh wish my wife would allow me to do the same so i could play with something now while i fix the elite up over winter.

Should check and see if some dealer has a 05-08 for cheap.

First time on my gyro I wanted to test the limits of the tilting... slid off enough to grab my leg on the pavement and have me holding on to turn it off.

Few scratches on the new fender and a small amount of cuts on me. Nothing big...

Then i found out you can bend the pegs into the frame for more clearance... yeah...
