    It's a two stroke, it's what they do. Is why we loves them

    Shouldn't be major, emery cloth is your friend. 'Course you CAN do it the proper way if you insist. Couple of hours work should see it right. I've done it at the roadside before today.

    Expect the CC ride itself ot be a succession of such incidents.

    My recovery rates are extremely expensive...

    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    Being the lazy yet double hard bastard I am, I haven't read the entire thread.

    However, pop it on record that I will make myself available the weekend of this event, to hook up a rental trailer and play recovery vehicle for anyone unfortunate enough to need a hand.

    (Would be responding from home, so would be a bit of a wait...)

    Have a station wagon, so can load a good bit of gear on board.

    Meah...

    ...back to being double hard... and a bastard...

    And Pippi is on track for CCC!

    CCCP ... Cape Caper Challenge Pippi is go!

    I will be riding her plenty to ensure that all is well n'good for the adventure ahead!

    Guess I need to find a red wig with pony tails and call me LongStocking!

    13670 was on the clock... is now on 14093!

    He puts the two-stroke oil in the hole.... if he had done that, then I could easily have pootled the rest of the way up! (I guess Pippi got the pip with me! ... sorry 'bout that girl!)

    ... or it gets the hose again!

    oh come on, had to be done


    At least you've learned a vital difference between two-smokers 'n self-lubers early on!

    and if it's been said once, it's been said a thousand times.

    PICS!!!

    of little Pippi of course, not you in pigtails and a dress...
    IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!
    Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat!

    I should have known better owning a RZ250 meself! And never doubt my perchance for doing stark raving mad things ... though I daresay even I would be going OTT with a Pippi outfit ...

    I'd love to do this, sadly it's impossible for me because I'm so far away, but I'd ride a space-man scooter wrapped in tinfoil and with fins and other sci-fi stuff attached, and i'd have a tinfoil suit and helmet.

    And if I can find the dozen or so tie-downs I now seem to own, but can't find ... sorted in that department!

    Clicky

    It's a 50cc 3/4 size cruiser.. what's the point?!
    Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
    For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
    Because he knows the time is short
    Let him who hath understanding
    Reckon the number of the beast
    For it is a human number
    Its number is six hundred and sixty six.


    FOR SALE: '88 Yamaha FZX 750, low k's and decent condition. Looking for around 4.5K. Drop us a pm, view it any time. Oh, and trades considered for cruisers or naked sporties.

    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.
