Scooterotica

did a lads Malossi 172 T5 this week, local mate , lives in the next street. he wanted a 28mm delly fitting , so off with the old , on with the new, cables ,couple of elbows on the cables to get a decent pull on the choke etc. didnt have time to finish it, working shifts etc.finished it in between work, THEN two days of shitty weather, couldnt get out for a ride to try it out, when i could, the JL stainless pipe was split in 3 places! and the clutch was buggered , and the cylinder head "o" ring was shot, and the back shocker was fooked, and the tyres had 10 lb in them........ so a prolonged day off in the shed sorting it for whitby, thanks to Beva from the Billingham A19"s for dropping an exhaust off to fit , because i couldnt get the stainless pipe welded in time, (he was stuck on the M62 in snow when i foned him!) if the lad says he"s going in the car, next time you hear from me , it"ll be on Crimestoppers.... "secret agent in murder probe"!

No jury would convict you mate

to tell the truth, the lad whos scooter it is ,is a lovely bloke, and doesnt know a spanner from a hammer, he just orders stuff from S.I.P. and i"m kinda his personal "bitch" mechanic , him living in the next street and that. i fix his vespa, and he takes the pool ball outa his purdy mouth occaisionally. he plays a canny banjo anarl.......

Al knows someone like that dont you M8

I do Nath. You do bring nice food and cds though

I have a tame scooter engineer/tuner just keep feeding him biscuits and he is happy
and he does a very good job
of course i can't name him as it's against the forum rules, shame really as he looks good in a mask and nuneaton is a nice town

He does like his biscuits

as a little adendum to the story, i saw the lad in question at Whitby, and after telling him to take it easy for the first few miles as i"d just changed his carb set up/exhaust/clutch etc , he road it the half a mile to the A19 slip road , and told the rest of the lads "i"m gonna wring the neck off this fucka" and went blasting over the A19/ moors etc. well......... he got there no bother and said it ran great. its back in to get the proper pipe on next week.... i hope he"s been to Tescos for the 3 Merlot for a tenner, or i"ll be the one doing the neck wringing when he comes round.....
