sorry for being gone a few weeks now i am back and since its weekend here's what i do


get the bike out and clean them



in the early morning watch the world cup with the camous boys




it was nice to hang out again but now i have to be back typing for money

have a nice weekend for you all and cheer

Over the last couple of months I've been trying to organise a scooter track day at a go kart track. I only found one that will let them on, most of them didn't want to even think about it.

We only got 7 takers in the end, quite a few were put off that it wasn't covered by insurance etc etc... not so many people are willing to take responsibilty for themselves these days.

Anyhow it's on in about 39 hours (but who's counting?). Pretty exciting... we should have the track to ourselves for the day.


800 metre track with one 150 metre straight

What you gonna run Ginch?

I only have my green machine. It should be a great time... not really doing any racing as yet (might change on the day!) but the chance to do laps without traffic coming in the other direction will be awesome.

I'd say if be good fun. I'd take of the panels. My skills are grossly outweighed by my stupidity

looks a right twisty track you americans used to bends

It's in strailia so they should be grand.

I can't wait for Stony Creek.
Just need my arm to work so I can ride, then game on!

so it is .... im on me phone so takes some reading

i dont have health insurance since i was born and only have death insurance since i get my first job so when i am gone my fam still have benefit over my pass, still i am not afraid to race and i think i race almost everyday on my way to work so if i was invite to a free race day in a circuit like that i am all in 8)

winning or lose is nothing, gaggling and have fun with a friend is everything

ride safe and cheer

It's good to have you back Ebeth.

The owner's only request (apart from paying on the day) was that we need to protect the track with "sliders". They are plastic things that go over the sticky outy bits so that if you come off, there'll be no gouging of the bitumen. It's been a little harder than I thought and we've been trying to come up with stuff that's basically disposable and cheap.

You can see in this pic from a Spanish(?) street race the thing he's holding is a large plstic thingo on a bracket... it's all a bit serious for us...



This is part of what I'm doing for instance -
It's a solid plastic garden stake - cut, drilled and tie-wired on. It hits the ground before anything else.

Your scooters are looking great Ebeth. I'm sure SGN Scott would have no problem with you 'adjusting' the exhaust as you said in the other thread.

A question that came up yesterday for you - did Danmotors cast their own cases? Someone argued that the only casting done was in Italy and India.

love to be back as well

the answer is yes they did, the factory itself is producing almost everything from frame till engine cases and wires along csble except electronic parts

in case someone didnt trust it, a pic will tell more right

this is the golden era










and this what left on the factory when they closed in 2007




have a nice day to you all and cheer

kicked scoot up this morning n popped it in 1st .... jump n it stalled .... kicked it up again while sat on it n scraped shin on floorboard .... fffffffff ..... clutch cable was nearly done .... managed to get to work n back on it ....
swapped cable over ... the old one was a pear end n its the second one thats done this so got one with a fat end
wonder whats doing this

fixed the front indicator on the bull so hopefully its all ok again for a bit [shhhhhh dont let it hear this].......
the painter at work offered to paint me the bastard .... result

Nice one, bitza! You set on a colour yet?

I take it you were using a split barrel on the end of that clutch cable...not just as it is?

Iv never had luck with those two piece ones bitsa. Like the single piece braided style ones

yeah I had the brass end over tbe pear ....... not fully decided on a colour .... picking child names is easier

Thanks Ebeth! Great pictures... what has happened to the factory now?

Fucking bastard bogging scoot is acting the prick again. Only cleaned the carb 3 weeks ago. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. Maybe it's lectrics. The plug cap is loose as fuck

Today I got laid off...er rather it was announced I am laid off as of Oct 10th.


Shit.

Shit one Nigel. Been there man, it's poxy enough. Get that resume out therere while your still working

thats shit man ..... hope you find something before you get to the end

That sucks, Nigel. I went through a layoff back in January. I got no notice, though, just walked with a shitty severance package.

In the long run, though, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. My new job pays better and I like it a hell of a lot better.

Get the word out to everyone you know that you're looking for a new gig--word of mouth and personal referrals are the best (pretty much only, IMHO) way to find a new gig these days.

I applied blindly to close to 100 jobs and got one interview, and that was for a job that would have required a move to the middle of nowhere. I worked my network, on the other hand, and got multiple interviews, including landing my current gig.

dont know how it works over there but here if ya dont get 90days notice they still owe you 90days pay .... n redundancy foir the time you was there if longer than 2years ....
worked at a place 8years n it went pop .... luckily i was only outta work 8weeks

just ordered some bits from beedspeed .... hopefully the panel rubber will go all the way round and its the correct one

Gutted for you, Nigel...happened to my Brother recently too.

I'm sure you'll be back on your feet soon though mate

Bitz, I'm pretty sure I've got a spare panel rubber floating around if you need one...can't guarantee it'll fit though.

^^^yup

at least you're honest!

Come back civvy!!!!



The world isn't good enough for one as pure as him.

I'm wearing a black armband for him. This is worse than the political prisoners being forcedto wear uniforms in long kesh!!

Yup yup yup, and that's what my yup all was about!

Let Civvy back in! Ban Vader!

Lol done him good there Vader.Don't stand for that shit voodoo!!! Get him!!
