the new - what have you done to your ped today thread.

Today ... I looked at the ped on the bench .... and thought, I'll do it tomorrow

 

seen a Honda varadero that I really like

 

Go for it, my husband has one, mega 125, it's huge, makes my VT 500 look small! Great to ride, I couldn't fault it and he's happy riding it all day long.

 

I bought the KTM duke because of its upright position and because when I sat on it, it felt comfortable, just don't like the way it rides, its horrible. going to sell the KTM at some point but the next 125cc I go to buy, going to the dealer for it and test riding to make sure I like it first. the KTM is so bad its unbelievable

 

im just wary of getting another Honda 125 because of what I did to the cbf125

 

Just sanded, de-greased & sprayed the Typhoon exhaust with heat-proof paint. Dried it with a paint-stripper. The only thing left to do is figure out a way to get the rear shock looking nice. Hmmmmm

 

Brillo pad and loads of soap

 

Doppler internal rotor ignition on it´s way. Now all I have to do is figure out how to put it on a 2003 ovetto (it's an ignition for the older type of wiring loom. Gonna be lots of fun (not).

 

worked on my scoot for about 30 mins after work today, fitted the racing reed valve, sorted out an oil feed pipe that was going to the carb (had a small split), took mud out of my air box, and made a blank plate for where my starter motor goes.

it's nice having the bike in the air



the blank plate

 

gonna give my wheels a bloody good scrub sunday, some paint stripper, wire wool, soap and nicking some of my stepdads polishing stuff he uses on the van hopefully ill get the fuckers shiny shiny again instead of being that horrible black.. if I get time im gonna give getting the rear wheel off a go and clean the engine case.. if I get enough paint stripper left over I might even do the trans cover tomorrow though..... visiting family all day so plenty of riding to be done

 

I've just fitted my new kickstart. I'm impressed with the quality and the overall way it looks.
I'm off out shortly whilst the weather is half decent and try out my new helmet

 

Here's a few pics of my new helmet. It's a Caber Duke fitted with the Bluetooth just speak system.
It fits under my Aerox's seat which is one of the main reasons for buying it.

 

do you realise how much we hate you for having such a nice scoot?

 

Ha :-D Well it's my little treasure. The wife can keep the car and I'll continue to mod/improve my Aerox.

 

Tasty kicker.
Me likeeee.
