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

Actually the Malossi is only marginally softer than the Polini - so my ride to spain was ok. Unfortunately GF managed to pull her fuel pipe off the tank this evening at work (facepalm) so I had to go on a mercy mission to fix it & refuel the scoot. All done - and everybody is home.

 

She'd be driving a car without you turbo

 

This is a very perceptive comment ! Perhaps I'm doing it all wrong and I need to just stop providing 60mph plus performance with the scoot..........

 

yesterday, repalce exhaust gaskets on Florence (Pulse Lightspeed) today, weld the weak joint on florence's swing arm...

 

GF just bought herself a new Yasuni silencer ! This is progress ! I'll still have to fit it though.....

 

The only time she's had any pleasure in a car - it was me driving. I wasn't driving the car......

There is no pleasure in driving cars ! You know this to be true. Just fitted silencer. Better. But we need something a little more radical. Involving exhaust pipes. And the 'stinger' and welding. I'll say no more - but will report when I put the plan into action. It should, according to a reliable source - make a C21 sound like a kitten mewling - instead of a pissed off tiger on amphetamines who has just swallowed a busted chainsaw. But without any performance change. Hmmmm. I'll get back you on that one.

 

Ah, you're after the 'watch me coming from 100yds away' sound.

 

Noooooo ! I'm after the 'can't bloody hear it' sound. Tricky. But I have a serious idea in a book I read about two strokes - and I intend to try it out. Currently - if I 'open her up' on a straight - cars virtually drive into the ditch to avoid the shockwave. That's with a reconditioned silencer with fresh rockwool and the airbox inside the (damped) seat bucket. This is not good Karma.
Will report if I get good results.

 

Sorry Mark ! I was a little DIFOKB......

 

'drunk in front of keyboard'........

 

me likey

 

all done just need new mirror

 

I am on holliday and DIFOKB ! God I love Friday. But when it's friday and you're off for two weeks ..... - I'm about ready to spurt !
Projects for this weekend are:
Tidy the garage. It's a disaster area.
Put my Polini clutch back in my scoot and the Malossi back in my GF's scoot (maybe take some photos and do a 'how to' ?)
Tidy the spare bedroom. My kids arrive next Tuesday (Hooray!)
Find the tents in the garage because we're going on a secret waterfall/camping mission
Lean out my gal's scoot (too rich)
Swap my 100 main jet for a 102 and solve the subsequent 'only works at full bore' take off (and no, slow jet's don't do it - it's a slider-thing)
Find a couple of 'U' bend steel pipes with the same internal diameter as the stinger on the Yasuni pipes so we can try the noise reduction stinger mod.
Have a good weekend folks !
