ULEZ London based scooter owners.. Are we really exempt??

Has anyone got a definitive line on this issue? It is not a clear issue but my understanding is that if you present your case to Transport for London, via their website stating it is a vehicle over 40 years old and, is classed as historic, then we are all exempt from the £12.50 per day charge. I hav...

Badly seized barrel and crank, any ideas how to remove

I have a badly seized barrel-piston and crank in a small block S3 engine case. The casing itself is in excellent condition and I want it stripped out to bare. Any ideas how to get this all removed without damage? Or is there someone who can do this?

Any help/advise will be much appreciated

Re: No Modern Scoots on this Rally

Elitist attitudes damages the scene. People riding autos is their choice, and they are welcome in my opinion. Autos are a way for many of getting into the scene and learning on something easier to ride until confidence grows. Also classic scooters in terms of cost are mega high and unaffordable to l...
