The blue one may need to be buffed out with some rubbing compound, after that she should be good to go.

reinstalled the brake pedal and set the cable on the smallframe, was waiting for the rubber that goes between the pedal and the bottom of the floor - done

cleaned my Ninja 250 carbs, just need to wait for the replacement mixture screw / o-rings to put that back together

checked my tire pressures after 6 months of not much riding - wow should have done that sooner, the GTS was way down and the ninja was too.

So... had a ride yesterday and must say the bike feels much better. Even at 'round town speeds (maybe 70kmph). I hadn't really felt what I would imagine unbalanced wheels to feel like before (no point of reference) but notice now just how smooth it feels.

Btw... I was told they needed balancing before putting the no.pressure caps on. So that's brand new sip tubeless rims with k61s on. "Perfectly balanced"... meh. The usual.

Thanks everyone! The '62 is to be buffed for fun and put away for a later project? The Super has some whiskey dents but is super (no pun intended) OG. Really happy with the finds they will both be awesome bikes!

Sorry... typo. Motogadget mo,pressure caps.

Figured these caps would throw the balance more so waited until I had them on.

Today I finally went for a ride on the PX200E
Yip, after a few years or so of pedantic restoration I've FINALLY got the PX200E finished & ready for sale, & went for a sneaky ride around the block just to check everything worked.... and it was great.

A good friend popped in (something that's "rather difficult " given that Victoria has been in LOCKDOWN for almost 4 months) with his PX200E so I could work out all the small bits n pieces that I had missed...
2-tone may mot be for everyone, but hey, only 1 person needs to buy it. Heres a few pics...
I also like the spare wheel cover, and WILL be painting the grey to match

Looks great! Well sorted.

(I have seen a few times a red Piaggio Hexagon... obviously an aftermarket custom print type thing... but that may look great if you could find/make one.)

Ouch. I always hate hearing that, and there's way too much of it these days. Even in places where hospitality and tourism are being allowed to come back, the people are still staying home to stay safe. I read a story last night about how after Disney was allowed to re-open their theme parks, even at 25% capacity they can't sell out, so they just laid off 28,000 people as a result.

Everyone stay healthy!

Thanks C-man. Yeah, its a grim prospect for a return also. Unfortunately companies also are terminating the senior managers and execs, prepping the next gen of managers since they have a couple years to groom them before business returns a bit, and seriously lightening the payroll.

Like a lot of venues...who is going to sit next to 1000 ppl at a conference? who is going to want to eat off of a buffet anymore? kids travel sports? Its gonna be years, and most still won't ever be the same again. Comic Con? Lollapalooza? Soccer and Sports Stadiums that hold 80K? I drive by Disneyland in LA twice a month its been closed since March and it is sad to see the spires of the recently opened Star Wars Land, the Iconic Materhorn peak, and the entire area is basically hotels and the old convention center. The "happiest place on earth", is an economic wasteland right now. Knotts is right there and Universal Studios on the other side of LA. Movie industry? and that is just one city in one country. It blows the mind and the economics are unfathomable.

But hey..!...ive still got 2 scoots that run and have found lots of new trails to hike or bike, away from all the maskholes. Getting a whole lot better at fishing too.

I need to keep reminding myself that this is NOT retirement, and I have go find new career soon. Clown emoticon

Cheers peeps.

You nailed it. I used to spend about half my work life traveling to events at convention centers like the one across the street from Disneyland (that was the Palo Alto Ignite Conference in 2019, if I recall correctly) and a good chunk of the other half keeping restaurant workers employed with business lunches and dinners.

Now, I've had literally one work-related face-to-face interaction, and even that was conducted a bit under the radar. So long as folks like myself are Zoom Workers, the Hospitality Industry will never come back.

Worst of all, I haven't even lost any weight in the process.

I've read about a few leased office buildings that the companies have broken the lease paid 10 of millions in fees and walked away never planning to reopen. I used to ask, why do these places send workers to a meeting somewhere and spend thousands of dollars in per diem when they could meet online and be done in a few hours. People looked at me like I was stupid, now its a good idea go figure. I think Pinterest did it for about $89 million dollars.

I've also used online chats with video to work with a vendor to show them what didn't work. Much easier than trying to explain it on the phone.

Today I put the snow tires on my VW GTI. Trying to get a lug nut off the front right wheel, I sheared off the 1/2"-to-3.8" adapter to my longest socket wrench. Whoops.

So I pulled out the trusty Kawasaki impact driver. Whack whack whack. Finally the bugger spins out. Doh. It's half a lug nut. Other half is firmly embedded in the hub.Bollocks.

So I ended up getting all four snow tires mounted, but one is missing a lug nut. I guess I'll take it to the shop on Monday.

Rebuilt a sticky clutch on the P200 with Poi Dog.

Then decorated the P for Halloween (courtesy Mr Greasy) and took a quick ride through the neighborhood.

The kitted VNB is fast becoming my favorite scoot. #grunt

How'd you increase your ground clearance, ebeth? Is it just increasing the rear shock/spacer height? I'm having clearance issues with my Sprint and don't really know what to do about it.

So I dug in and answered my own ground clearance question. Even worse, the shock was completely out of the upper mound and the old distance nut was GONE!

So I ordered a few new spacers to experiment with and will put it all together once the get here. At least it's supposed to rain all week, so I probably would just use the car if I needed to go somewhere anyway, but it's the principle of it!

To add insult to injury, the shock has rubbed on the tire and worn a pretty good ring into it, so now I need to replace the tire, too. Meh.

Yup. I unbolted the shock motor bolt and it literally fell off into my hand. I still haven't figured out what happened.

I noticed yesterday that the kickstart was hitting the ground too soon, but figured it must have slipped on the splines, even though that didn't really make sense. I started out thinking I'd model the effect of increasing the spacer on clearance. I was not expecting that.

How'd you increase your ground clearance, ebeth? Is it just increasing the rear shock/spacer height? I'm having clearance issues with my Sprint and don't really know what to do about it.
actually i use Brother PP 12 inchi rims

i was once in ur position, i also didnt notice anything when my upper shock bolt were wasnt tighten properly, and its a common thing to happen when u only tight the shock by twisting it with hands, instead of a wrench (like me Razz emoticon )

Good luck with the rear shock and cheer Brother C

Thanks, e!

Did you just replace the hubs with some that will fit the 12" wheels?

And how's it do for clearance versus the swingarm and front fender/suspension?

I can see where SIP has replacement hubs to fit 12" GL wheels, but they make it sound like you need (rather than "should") do a whole bunch of other upgrades, e.g. brakes, at the same time.

nope its just a standar stud and a standar 10" hub

With a used tyre with size 120-70 in the rear and a 110-70 in front, it move freely

And yes i need a better brake, not cause the rims but cause my rear drum brake is worn Razz emoticon

Hope thats inspire Brother C, have a nice day and cheer

Weird day as I had two P200s with blown clutches, sheared woodruff keys, damaged woodruff key slots (gonna try JB weld) and worn Oiler gears.

What are the odds of that one?

I wonder if the keys ever get sheared while removing the flywheel? Or not?
