    Just to let ya'll know July next year i'm heading off to Eurovespa.

    Riding a P200E i've been working on for awhile.

    It's going to be the tits.

    1245mile's there. Which by my reckoning means a couple of days ;)

    None of this poncy cig break stuff.

    This trip will be the tits.

    A week?

    Ah bless you minor.
    19 hours first day, rest on the second day, easy peasy.

    Breakdowns for girls!

    Thankfully my old man is coming with me and has done this sorta thing before. (East to West Coast and back in the USA) so i should be ok =)

    ROCK AND ROLL.

    Just need my broken ankle to fix itself.

    Bumping support for the british heart foundation who support the british ambulance service (Pretty sure you've needed one at some point lol)

    the t5s are faster due to having more ports but im not sure if they like being raced flat out because they do go quite fast haha

    t5..... fast? i hope your being sarchastic... LOL

    t5 is a pritty strong engine, the usual weak point is the crank and the cruciform... the cranks have the worst pin tollerences (so loose its untrue) and the cruciform is fail by design alone... still the trusty old workhorse and chosen engine for a vespa on a rally (not to say thats any good, just better than all the other rubbish) could be worse... could be a chain driven lammy engine LOL
