Modern Vespa

All work and no play makes jack a dull boy

Today I replaced my clutch cable and my slack adjuster broke in the tab. Shit.

took a new ducati monster for a spin.

my dad who once broke his leg riding (stoned) a 2 stroke yamaha350 would not ride pillion with me today....what a fucking poof! ill have to buy him a bow tie ffs

Glad to see you decided against leaving Josh.

im just hanging around for the bow tie award

made a sheoak bowl this morning

that surely gonna be a nice display Bother Josh

today i...

found a busted local pipe for the excel 200 yesterday, so i think it will look nicer since the Scott Pipe is scratching the tarmac so often.. fix the pipe and put it in the motor result its suck as i loss power and it tasted just like a standart bokes pipe with a bit of louder sound totally waste my time but again its local so i shouldn't hope much



to please myself while watching Mexico match in the world cup i did this to scoot pipe


and in the morning i put it on




look good for a $0,2 aluminium sticker and to Brother Bitsa i am still didnt do chrome

test the bike and the aluminium did manage to stick hard so it does worth it not to mention the bike now does have its power back, so i am very please by the result 8)

Bastard T5 is trying to die at low revs. Have to fiddle with the carb later. Ah I remember my carefree px200 days when I couldn't turn a spanner but never had to either

that pipe looks tidy e .... I have stainless on mine .....

beware of the tickover spring jacko

A little turn of the mixture should do it. Need to give the carb a good clean but won't get a chancetill Friday. I seem to be fiddling with it a lot of late.

i find that some months ya do nowt but try dial summat in then others ya just ripping round ..... im ripping at the mo fingers crossed

Strips the carb at the little service area in the local esso.had forgot my fuel tap doesn't work and dumped about a litre of premix onto the concrete. Back to ripping. Fuck esso if theycan't take a joke

haha ..... fukem

......saw a scooterist pass me in heavy traffic with no number plate on his scooter.....until i realised he was wearing it on the back of his high vis jacket....is that dumb or genius?

I know some peeps think the plate spoils the lines of the bike...

ive seen a lad with uk L plates on a hi viz .. . dont know if its legal but you could see them

That's how they do it here bitsa.Don't put it in the bike at all. Most people don't bother

I know some that dont . . ya get less road respect with em on

Some little f*cker kicked and snapped the rear L plate in half on one of my Nephew's bikes a little while ago.

Poor lad got pulled on his way home and was given 3 points and a fine for not displaying it properly

thats shit mate .....

some lad put a sticker over my reg plate at work years back when i was waaay younger ..... i got pulled n fined ...... 'lightly' beat the lad n made him pay

Gone be the days when a copper world give you a clip round the ear and tell you to get outof his sight

took a piccy of me scoot at work parked outside the canteen. ...

Won't fit through the door no? Would be good place to munch your sarny....

it will fit in the canteen ........ once backed the arse in n smoked one of the lads that hates the smell of 2t

Interesting composition, bitza!

...what was in your sarnie?

dont really do butties had a chicken ding curry

Cold or do you have a microwave? I love a cold curry when I come in from the pub

one of them froz ones from tesco pinged

Made a scoot truck

Show the lads on scooterboyworld that. Entitle the thread 'coming to a rally near you'

I live 100k's down a very dull freeway to my nearest scooter mates so use a trailer all the time. Civvy you will find that if your tank is full, after a trip on the trailer the crankcase will have filled with fuel, making it a real bugger to start. I used to make sure it was almost empty beforehand and bring a jerry can. Now I have a BGM fast flow tap which does NOT allow flow when it's turned off like the standard one... when it's shaken the fuel gets through the breather pipe or something.

Think the vibration lets juice slip passed the needle. It you have an electric startit's fine cos you can clear a flood really quick with lecky start and an open throttle

My 2 wheel mates are 250miles north, were the proper roads are.
It's too slow for my liking at the moment for touring. Hate being a victim of the traffic.

Today I stored my scoot away. Going to Spain for 3 months. Yay. 8)

thats a right idea ...... i know they love people that build not buy

I notice the scoot on trailer has front tiedowns on handle bars which is never a good thing. Need to be held by column

Yay indeed Bob! Back just in time for the National! Good point!
I find that if the front wheel has a nice solid thing to engage with like you have Civvy, all you need is the straps running from the seat post forward and down to where your red straps are now. So it will be pulled forward and down, no need for any straps on the headset where the casting is in real danger of cracking. Just try it that way making sure the rear spring is well compressed. You should find it's very solid even at the front end... I've done thousands of k's like that. If you MUST tie it at the front, go around underneath the headset.

changed my tire and went for a ride. First ride after my last surgery. New elbow works great!

a good feeling eh mighty t .



hailed last night my bro called to see if the shed extension was still standing haha

Take care with that asbestos mate.
