Motorbike to scooter

Yeah I got Caught out with that steering lock thing, its for when you park your bike on the road side, probably not the best configuration. Sounds like the owners manual would have saved you a lot of grief!

Heh, I've been caught by that on the BMW which has exactly the same setup. So you're in good company!

I absolutely would, look at what each product is trying to achieve. The toyota corolla is cheap transport for the masses and does a brilliant job of it. A corolla can do 300000km before anything major occurs!.

A vw golf wishes it was as good as a toyota corolla, vw has a terrible reputation for build quality and reliablity!

So, ok Jap drivetrains last a long time, but the car appears to be made from recycled biscuit tins. VW / Audi group motors are all laser seam welded and a waay better guage of steel. I know where I'd rather I was in any kind of accident...see how Jap motors fly to pieces when Hamilton boyracers drive them into trees.

I'm glad you're happy with your choice of scoot (the world needs more people on them) but I'm quite secure in saying the ET is the best modern scooter. You don't see many Suzukis in Sicily, you're just miffed about paying for the shipping costs.

Whats my opinon?

If I remember rightly, after the One Tree Hill run, you said they were sh1t (or words to that effect).

Seems to have been quite a bit of dev work done though, my reed cage is metal not the rubber that Alan has on his Li.

No no his one is shit, its a peice of cack, have you seen how much his costs in fuel?
If it was me I would have brought a new 200 motor and done andrews tune or left it standard, you casings arent in the best of nick, but it will be fine with andrew doing all the work, alwase good to see another lammy on the road.

I thought that was more his habit of riding everywhere in 3rd gear with the throttle wide open? He's ridden a fair few k's with no problems.

The motor that was in my scoot has been ditched and I've got a better matched 150, all the right numbers etc. Looks pretty good now it's been bead-blasted...

[texmo]

the sx150 casings?
