  1. Word to the wise, scootering fraternity is no where near as supportive as the VW!

  2. Well folks it was the magneto. All up n running and turning heads/raising smiles where ever I ride it.
    I folded it up popped it into the bag and took it into the bank yesterday for fits n giggles they loved it the staff thought it was hilarious.
    The security fella was like "wow, now that's how to not get it nicked"

    I've just got one, did you fit new cylinder /piston and carb ?
     
  7. Yep what have you bought? Earlier ones can't be done

    1979 R7, apparently they are restricted, want to see if it is and how to remove it, it's only done 114miles so may need to still be run in
     
  9. It's done by swapping out the barrel, piston (75cc) and changing the jet (there's only one) plus the spark plug.
    There are sleeves in the air box that are removed too.
    The thing is though if you've got a chain drive instead of a belt then none of it can be done.
    They're not actually restricted as such mire just puny from the off. Basically they're pump motors

  14. I love these. The chrome is a nice touch. Mines plastic mudguards etc.
    How are you finding riding it?
    One thing that is really important but unfortunately prone to be problematic is the variator.
    If it's not functioning correctly it'll really hamper progress.

    I much prefer the chrome version, drives ace, no issues with running gear etc, bike looks like it came out of the shop yesterday, it's like new , genuine one owner 113 miles from new, it needs a good run

  16. I remember there was a firm
    That if you called them from a pub or party they would ride them to you and drive you and your car home
    I think it was on Top Gear :)

  17. I remember that, they were doing road tests on the punters cars, using words like "salty" as code for describing them.

    ScooterMAN. They're still in Bristol apparently, but I don't think I've ever seen them.
     
  19. They're still in the big smoke, they don't use Diblasi tho

    My brother has several DiBlasi's and has said he will give one to me when I complete his Chaly's

    Just can't motivate myself to complete them as I lost the enthusiasm.
