I am joining the Army myself, so i dont have to really worry about practicality

If you buy a van you can get a garelli, picking up from the side of the road in the middle of nowhere would become much easier.

dont you mean DUMPING them by the side of the road would become much easier, what are you looking to chop the fizz bomb in for?

:lol:
I dont quite understand that last bit, are you asking what i want to trade my fizzy for?

I am not 17 for a while yet, so i havent really thought about it, and i hope to never sell the bike. Might have to take it to bits and store it in a garage.

There seems to be a general trend of people selling their first bike and desperately trying to buy it back years later.

RD250 sounds nice, my big bro got a Suzuki GSX250 when he was 17. It got to the end of the road then needed a new engine. :)

It was indeed, that was a terrible bike. Electrics broke down once during the night, my uncle had to ride it home with a tourch stuck to the front.

I was thinking of getting a bigger bike at 17....but then i thought about keeping my fizz and having the mini aswell....and keep them till im 45 and then i wont have to say: i wish i still had them....

A van i think is really good to have...my dad's van has picked up loads of stuff for me including my fizz which was a 100 mile trip....plus vans go on forever if you have a diesel one like my dads mitsubishi l300...its done 194,000 miles and is still going well.
