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 :D

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 :P 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 :D

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? :D

Proud to say I finished 131st which must be worrying for the 3 bikes which finished behind me :-)

Yep, that was me. Took my eye off the road for a second. Whoops.
