Skippy

Very pleasant mate, no winter clothing needed just a jacket and t shirt (with waterproofs under the seat just in case)

A bit of admin required today, needless to say I took the scoot to fly about and get all that shite done which left me time to visit the bike dealers and book the Benelli in for its 7,000 klm service…….12 Jan…….ah well let’s cane the scoot! ……..also had time for some lunch on the quayside.

Complete poofery eh?

Yes mate, since April I think. I’ve also had the old Fazer to blast around on and more recently the Kymco scooter. The benefit of warm, dry weather mate.

………….funny how a Harley rider should profess to have knowledge of ‘style’

The only reason I didn’t buy one was the delivery time which was ridiculous but that was a year ago and by now they’ve sorted out the problem……..gotta take the Benelli in for its 7,000 klm service after Xmas so I might see what trade in I could get.

Great tyres those

Mmmmm that’s a shame as I’ve found some of the right size but 30.5g……….acceleration would be a bit better wouldn’t it?

Helpful as ever

Need your assistance Clive……..looking to get a new set of rollers and despite extensive internet searching it’s proving really difficult to get a definitive answer. I’ve been trying to bottom out what the standard rollers are in my Kymco Xciting 500 (2006) so I can get a replacement set. Any ideas where I might be able to get such information because I’m getting really hacked off with the various different answers? Ta.

Hideous eh?

Cheers mate I’ll have a look tomorrow

I watched that video and thought it would be just about doable……….not a chance of getting the plug cap off without damaging it. I’ll investigate further tomorrow but if all else fails then yes, I’ll have to dismantle the bloody bodywork to remove the seat tub and gain access to the spark plug. Twating thing.

Spent the best part of the day servicing the scooter………apart from the spark plug. Utterly ridiculous to make it almost impossible to get at…….then stumbled across a YouTube video late on which offers a solution so I’ll investigate tomorrow. ………….and here’s the air filter that I took out. Probably the original from 2006

Well spotted

As the bare minimum for an entry? Yes I like that idea

Apparently he wanted a power upgrade

I’ve got a few days yet then to submit a winning photo………..

Looks like you’ve done a good job there mate.

Happy birthday in that case

That’s quite funny for you. You’re still a complete cunt but at least you’re funny.

It’s a bastard aint it.

Yep……for me the worst part is either sitting down or getting up, it’s impossible without sharp pains shooting through my arse, thigh and knee…….oh and ending up in my shin. Cunting cunt.

It’s a proper nuisance and one day it’s not too bad and then the next……….OUCH!

I’m missing getting out on my old Mtb, the sciatica is just too bad to be cycling at the moment. Been like it for a couple of months. Ironically, riding the scoot or motorbike is fine but driving the car is challenging to keep depressing the clutch. My missus thinks it’s just an excuse to use two wheels everywhere I go.
