Scooterotica

Looking real smart. I like the attention to detail. You gotta be happy with that

Yep, that was me!

Looking back, he got a good deal, which included both of my 30+ bhp Group 4 race motors, but I needed the dosh at the time

As promised though, he did offer the race scoot back to me, but as said previously, I couldn't afford to race both bike and scoot

Cheers Soul Surfer.

It had a heal operated brake when it was on the track, but it didn't come with the scoot. It was set up for Jem and so was a real struggle to use on the street.

I got Busy with some skateboard tape in the shed last night......

Tom, your old bike is still being raced in grp 4

That's good to hear Tony, i'd hate the thought of it sat in the back of someones garage collecting dust

Now I wonder how I'd get on racing a Group 4 again, after a few years racing the R6 ????

I have had a Dyno run at Diablo Moto since i last posted (Thanks Alan, Great work as always!) and got an MOT (and a new seat ). It did 34 BHP, which is slightly down on last time, but the jetting is much richer, so it should be more reliable now. I ordered one of those Readspeed 8 Stage CDI's and it ran for 60 seconds before giving up? So we had to settle for static timing in the end. Following the usual shake-down, when anything that is not Loc-Tighted just falls off, i finally got to have a blast around the country lanes. Grin factor 10! I also managed to take a few better pics......

Looks choice!

34BHP is pretty hot... I bet it wheelies easy as with that carbon bodywork!

I should save some money on front tyre wear, thats for sure. It used to lift the front wheel on my TV2, off the throttle, so i have to sit a bit further forward now, when the power band kicks in, with the first 2 gears.

After having the pleasure of thrashing it round our local country lanes I can tell you its very very fast!
Very thirsty as well as I found out when it ran out of fuel
