I will get hold of Big Mac and ask him about the toolkit. I msged the seller about the scorpio on Ebay whether the toolkit was with the bike when he brought it. The guy said he had to go back to the store he brought the bike with cause they forgot to put it in there??

Have messaged a few people on here who own scorpios as well to find out..

Congrats! I am jealous! I really wanted a scorpio but went the cheaper route and got the Ginny instead - glad i did or i'd still be saving but the scorpio is so damn sweet!

Gratz and see ya out there soon!

Hey BigRed. After I sat my BHS I was so stoked I passed. I rushed home and told my Hubby all about it. I think he thought I was too excited. But as you say I wanted to get on a bike straight away and keep practicing cause I had so much fun...

Yeah, it has a toolkit under the seat.

Have fun with the new scorpio

Its really fun bike

Last week i tried to go on a 80kph motorway, but i came off at the nearest exit because the wind at 80kph almost blow me and my bike

Tools...Well I would certainly put a torch in the tool box.(I have a head mounted torch in each of our 3 bikes) Head mounted torches are generally smaller and leave both hands free to use tools, or push to side of road...then use cellphone. If something breaks Murphs law says it will be the thing you dont have a tool for anyway!

Also consider a flouro safety vest under the seat too. Handy if caught out in dodgy weather or misty foggy conditions which we sometimes get up the valley. Most un-cool I know, but hospital food more un-cool. They're quite cheap from NZ Safety or similar outlets.

As your bike most likely doesnt have a fuel guage, get into the habit of re-setting the trip meter when you fill up, and seeing how far you can get before the fuel reserve light comes on...this will save any embarrassing moments on the side of the motorway. (This is the most common breakdown)

Well Done Kazza, I'm going for my test this Saturday & then to shop for a bike (fingers crossed an SX like yours for starters).

Well Done
