midnight, taking the new pirellis off the chop and putting on the t5

looking good josh. whats the pipe youve got there?

... Got the rally back on the road.

........ i just returned from a tip t London UK.. both my wife and I came down w/ the FLU so we pretty much were held up in the hotel room for 3 days..

HOWEVER.. I was fortunate enough to hook up with Alan Mac.. and had a really nice time at the Ship & Shovell Pub.. and then took nice bus ride to "Fopp" record / CD / music shop... really a great time...

Thanks Alan... Top Man he is.. his wife is the bomb..

Bummer, my wife and I came down w/ the serious FLU.. so we were held up in the hotel for 3 days


Didn't see a singe 2 stroke scooter, but hanging w/ Anlan Mac was awesome..

too bad about getting sick, but hanging w/ Alan at the Ship & Shovell Pub was really great.. Top man that Alan!

I was hoping to see at least one scoot..

Anyway, Thanks Alan Mac for a great partial night out.. you're a great guy!

Put some rubbery trim stuff on the vespacross frame project. Oh And drunk some coopers stout.

You need to have a smaller bladder. The lammie that nipped past Fopp was nice. Blue and white checked panels if anyone here knows the bike.

Was great catching up V. So glad we could have some beer and talk music and scoots. Shame about the flu though. Next time will be better!

Good luck hunting down your Gibson.

See you on the west coast one day I am sure.

its been a good year for new album releases, so many quality albums but the stand out for me has got to be ,The Panics with "Hole In Your Pocket" its up there with legendary band The Church. imo


have a good new years celebration.

+1 on the panics. Brilliant.

You been taking some of Josh's mushrooms Chris? Repeating yourself a bit there. Bummer about the flu. All the best for the new year.

its the airoplanes that give the flu.....suckerz

It's that there Londonvillage. ... worked down there a few times n always glad to get home .......

haaa... sorry about that Bobo.. I was in a post "hell-flight-sick-delirious state...

Too bad Vader and his wife got the flu and had to be in the hotel for 3 days...

But at least they got to hang with Alan Mac...

Good thing they got to go out with Alan Mac, because he and his wife came down with the flu and had to stay in the hotel for 3 days...

That Alan Mac though...

OK.. I get it.. I'm still delirious.. but yes.. hooking up with Alan was very cool... hell of a good guy.. and his wife... believe it or not, is from one town over from where I grew up.. small world..

Alan Mac is one cool dude!

Nah. He is a dick.

Hopefully it stops a bit of this!
Damn scoot landed on me, & bent the cowl around my leg!
Sure delayed Xmas holz!

Jesus! What appendage are we looking at there?

^ That's what she said ^

Thats a(n inner thigh of) LEG...
The nice (vertical with curve at top) line was from the cowl!
It damn well hurt! Foot was stuck between end of handlebars & seat, twisted both ankles, numerous other big bruises etc!

Is that your nut sack at the top of the shot?

Such a rude man.

i can beat that, 65 staples, two stainless steel plates and 12 screws


i can kickstart with my other leg xx

Crikey. That is a fine wound Callum. Very impressive.

Nut sacks and inner thighs to one side for a moment...happy new year you crazy kids.

Hope you're well Bitz n Jacko...and I hope you feel better soon V! (full of flu myself at the mo)

Safe scootin' all

Thanks Snappa.. still sick as a dog... hunkered down on the couch watching the Twilight Zone marathon... lol

Happy 2017

We've both had the flu since the day after Christmas. I think the fog is starting to lift finally!

Not scoot related but fucking awesome anyway.

I walked out this morning to this....upon further inspection he was not dead so I guess all good....I think he belongs to the haunted house next door...

Happy new hangover! First blackout of 2017!

Ahahahahhaha. Is that in La Jolla?

Ha! It's more like ghetto lemon grove where I just moved to.

A nice...quaint.....neighborhood it seems...where nobody knows your name....

Happy new year bro...

Happy New Year to all!!!

Today I received a late present from Santa...

A radial 4 piston caliper carrier for my P200E. Now waiting for the Caliper (Adelin)...

I think that's the mayor.

Nice.. please show us how it fits.. and if there are any modifications that need to be done..

Thanks.. Happy new year!

Open mye T5 engine to Day.
Have been on the bence for couple of years.
Had some noise back in 2011
Fund that the clucht was slakish
And the crank was moving as well
So this is what I found

a JL of some sort, bought it second hand for 150$

I have 2 T5 standard cranks in the garage with damage threads or keyways , give me a shout if you need one £15 plus postage . You could get a crank builder / tuner to pull them apart build one good one balancing and flowing it at same time (That was my plan).

Ricky

Had a tidy out in the garage looking for the flywheel casing from my last destroyed engine turns out I've got 4 sets of cases.

The destroyed PX 125 from my Gtr will donate its bits to the 200 cases with a 221 Mallossi, parmakit ignition and RD350 reeds
The PX 200 the 200 cases came with has my good T5 engine in it.
The Gtr 125 has a 180 with race crank, atomic reeds and vespatronic which will go as spare with a kit swap 180 to mallossi 166
My px125 will get a standard 125 built out of a set of brand new lml reed valve cases.

This will leave enough bits in the garage to build a brand new 166 mallossi from a set of lml reed valve casings.

Thanx for the offer 👍😀
Just got new pinasco T5 block. And waiting for the new pinasco kit and crank

this bloke cheered me up
