I will probably end up on a scooter , I like the Honda ADV scoots

I would like a T Max 560, now that has some excitement when riding it, but at £13,500 😲  I think not.

Well I am on leave this weekend.  Went for a BSA test ride this morning, not doing much for the rest of the day, maybe venture out and do some gardening.  Kitt Hill bike meet tomorrow and down west singing in the evening.  😉

I must admit to looking at them with interest.   Not for a few years yet I hope.

The new models are getting too expensive for what they are now,  can buy a car for the same money as a new T Max costs.

My something today started by fiddling with the XR's carb trying to get rid of a dead spot off idle i haven't noticed before, only thing different is i fitted the snorkel back on the air box and fitted a Vortip in the exhaust. Played about for an hour or so and i have decided to start with the stock jetting and go from there so ordered the stock pilot jet. Then i fired up the Beta to make sure everything is ok for a ride tomorrow which it was, so then i dragged the CRF1000 out to give it a run and a wash, the bloody thing was still covered in the flies from a rally i done around this time last year. Since i had dug that deep into the garage it exposed the old Africa Twin so just spent an hour riding that about it's such a nice bike to ride i seem to appreciate it more now my need for speed has almost gone.

Two bikes is double the expense Clive, or maybe more.

This scoots spark plug retails at £40, found them on eBay for £18. Tyres are still originals, 2020 bike, and are cracking around the side walls so they won't be long for change even with lots of tread left.

I can only afford to run the scoot, another bike is just a pipe dream......

I can get spark plugs for £10, tyres where put on just before I got the scoot, had a look at them, in good condition......air filter is the problem,  with no importer or dealers getting genuine Daelim parts is problematic.

I can't say this Hondas build quality was anything to shout about either judging by the rust on the frame, not unlike Mandis CBF I noticed when I fitted her new battery.

The frame under the Daelims tupperware is in a great condition for a 9 year old scoot, but there again it has not been ridden during the winter, or much during the rest of the year. 😂 But it is standing up well.

It does OK for a 250cc, but it will hardly ever get the adrenaline flowing, and it seems to be set up for good mpg over mph, but it is (which is not saying much) much faster than other 250cc scoots , the Yamaha Majesty 250 I had was 4 or 5 bhp less, and it was really noticeable,  75mph was absolutely top whack,  much less will a pillion on board.
