McJim has gone and done it

[McJim]

I give back the company car next week. My new job is too far to walk and too close to warm up the Ducati. We can't afford to keep another car so this semed the obvious solution:

After I got over the discomfort of the first few minutes (looking for footpegs, gears, clutch etc.) it was actually quite neat...there is a power band in there however it is a bit small. I might have a go at fitting a different exhaust with a different expansion chamber to get some more oomph out of it but it is fun.

2T rocks my world :

He's from Glasgow. We sort of got him half civilised while he was up here, but since he's gorn darn souff he's slipped back. I think it's summit to do with being near a pole (Norf or Souf I mean), like magnetic anomalies or quantum or summit.

Oh, I just realised it's a two stroke. I guess all the work we put in on you up Norf did have some beneficial results, you've seen the light at last.

Congratulations on getting a proper bike (one with electrics what works , too!) . When y' going to get rid of that other thing , the one with all the silly valves n camshafts n chains n belts and all that useless stuff that proper bikes don't have ?

Wot 'e said. I have a Ducati for longer runs why would I want something else that could do the same?

The point of the exercise is to save money (i.e. save unwanted short runs on the Ducati)

The reason I bought this scooter is it cost a fraction of a grand. It's all money money money at the moment.
