Well I gave this old girl a good 500 miles blast at the weekend. Considering that I have not split the casing to check anything, and all I've done really is replace the carb and clutch, I feared a seal would go, or worse.
But, I have to say the old girl didn't miss a beat
This is me lost (not for the first time) whilst doing the Beamish Time Trial on Sunday. I was sat on the verge eating the remains of a Yorkie at the time trying to make some sense of the directions we were given (why didn't I take a map
). The other photo is the scoot at the end.
I can't really say I completed the Time Trial. The only off road section I did, I did by accident as I followed the wrong person
I did manage to stay upright unlike the lad on a trials bike who overtook me to then come off 5 metres ahead. He got up and promptly did the same 30 metres further on

Probably the best and most reliable scooter I ever had was a rally 200. I know it's a funny colour, but how much we talkin then?
Beamish is only 5mins from here, was away at the weekend or we would have had a look up.....................
