McJim has gone and done it

[Rollestonchick]

You do realise that you are probably faster on a pushie y'know?

How cute Let us know the economy

[davereid]

You should never have bought that scooter... before you know it, you will actually choose to ride it, even when you could take the D or the Car...

I don't know why, but scooters are just great fun. And when $$$ are a bit tight, blasting along with a $67 annual rego and no wof, at 75mpg, just seems to feel good !

[yungatart]

the mental image of your rather large frame (not that I'm saying you are fat) tucked on to that poor wee thing just make me laugh...with you, of course, not at you....
Where do you put your knees? Behind your ears???

[jrandom]

Excellent.

Are you getting any time in on the pushies at the moment, though?

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 :

Yes indeed - go faster bits can become addictive.

Nothing like modifying a machine way beyond it's original design parameters

That is a sexual position not recommended to be used when riding a scoot.

[OutForADuck]

Dude welcome to the club of those of us with no sense of style what so ever!!! mind you there is a lot of fun to be had and yes I do commute on the little MadAss Roll on 100MPG + and park it anywhere and forget about!!!

[Bend-it]

I used to ride one up and down the gorge everyday! the 2T 50s are a hoot! I even overtook a bus going UP the gorge once! Took abit of a run up, me being in full race crouch, and feet pushing along once in awhile Flintstones styles, but it got there! It wasn't just a normal Suzuki Sepia, it was the race ZZ one! woo hoo!!

There was one with a nitrous kit fitted for sale on trademe awhile ago... They reckoned it would do 90 on the straight! Haha!

[EJK]

Sigh... another Poocati...

[geoffm]

Off Trademe? Good wee scoot.
Having dissed scooters for years, they are excellent for short trips and urban combat. They are also very rewarding if you want to tune them - with so littl epower you really notice if you have made a difference.
Look on the Scootling BBS for info. Scootling also sell the gofast bits.

Over the handlebars. you remember me on the two fiddy. You commented that I seemed to fold up quite small when I rode that (I remember trying to hide behind that iddy biddy fairing on the way to Napier from Taupo.)

Excellent.

I started to do some informal road racing in cat c. Started to get quite competitive but then work hours ate into training hours and I gave it away again. I have a few people down here prepared to train with me in the summer though. Wind trainer is currently on loan to a neighbour.

What about you?

[Pogo2]

you will be converted.

Welcome to the scooter fraternity McJim now we just need to change the other 5000 KBers over

Yeah but the VT was huuuge by comparison...

[jrandom]

What about you?

Pedalling to work most days at the moment, doing the Scenic Drive loop or Coatesville-Riverhead on weekends, etc.

Not up to handling any respectable road rides yet. Legs are feeling good now, but I haven't bothered much with losing weight, still too heavy to climb properly. All in good time eh...

I'll put in a cruisy "not watching the clock" Round Taupo in Nov and I should be down for Le Race in March if you want to turn up and show me how much faster wanky Italian groupsets are.
