Re: Mod 1 and 2 On Scooter
IIRC you go through the speed trap twice, once for the emergency stop and once for the hazard avoidance. You need to do a minimum speed of 50kph, which isn't much but you only get a short run to get up to that speed which a standard 125 may struggle with. Fail to reach that speed and you fail the te...

Re: Tyre Choices
I'm glad this topic has popped up. I'm a brand new rider, got a PX125, scoot has got Michelin tyres. I'm using the scooter in all weathers for going to work. I was wondering which tyres would be best. That tracking thing when riding is a pain especially as i'm still pretty much learning to ride. I ...

Re: How to get a licence
CBT is easy, book it, turn up and a few hours later (barring any disasters) you'll have a certificate and can ride a 125cc with L-plates
Full test is a bit more involved, CBT, theory test, Mod1 (off-road) and Mod2 (on-road) tests

Re: What sparkplug do you use with your GT kit?
I use a B8 (or equivalent) in both my GT186 and GT200, seems fine. I have run a B7 but didn't fancy that on long runs and a B8 is fine pootling around as well

Re: Running in
From memory with the cast GT kits the suggested running in period is minimum 250 miles, 1st 100 miles @4% oil mix, use full throttle range but don't hold it in 1 throttle position for too long and don't labour the engine. I own 2 of these kits (186 and 200) and I pretty much followed the above, esse...

Re: glacial paced lambretta hotel
That looks really good. I watched a TV programme a few weeks ago where people had moved their shops and businesses into storage containers to combat the rise in shop rental prices, was working really well for them

Re: BLOA dead?
LOL, I just checked the campsite, it's listed as only having 38 pitches!! So with all the ves*** it should be rammed. In fairness Gavin doesn’t pick the best of dates for his rallies. I wonder what else is happening that weekend :?: He probably checked personally with the 3 people going that they w...
