I don't quite remember being so stupid as to throw down a challenge, but perhaps my tongue was in my cheek at the time. As you know, Will and I are mere Johnny-come-lately chancers to the world of small frame tuning compared to you. Mind you, on Wednesday night I was on the road with Mark Watts and his son Lloyd (orange custom small frame from Scootering last autumn), and that scooter really shifts. It now features a Malossi 135 and a V-force reed welded to the casings, and I'm very pleased with the work we did (as is Lloyd). It still pulls the original 4th gear, which is always nice.

BTW, did you see your red SS90 in a recent issue of Classic scooterist scene?

3 90ss's Man, you is lucky lucky! I love a souped up small frame: That floats my boat, and bongs my gong! I seen you on the green one at Mallory, giving charlie a run for his money........Good stuff!
I don't want to keep up with modern traffic. I want to hoon past it, preferably on one wheel!

Tony, that sounds like my mate Euan's Husqvarna chainsaw with perhaps a few more CC's. :mrgreen:

One is is France (rally)at mo.. hope the crap fuel dont hurt it! I do need to get my road bike done. Racer is ready to go with improvements since mallory :twisted:

thanks wax.. i couldnt catch him, but we did have a slight power issue that day. Its sorted now! Still got fastest lap there. Not bad for a smallframe considering the msc cooler was out and Charlie's own monster. Btw its two 90ss's. The yellow one is the green one repainted for its association with Performace Tuning. I wouldnt mind another tho! ;)

Someone just took my word. Hats off.
