the work bike... here goes...

I hate going to work in the car, but sometimes it is necessary. It has taken me 1 1/2 hours to get home before now in the car, and its only 7 miles. On the bike, 18 minutes at madness rush hour time. This is why i want a back up bike, either the Katana or maybe the Zip that i have sitting in the other half of the garage. Thinking i might stretch the Zip a little, make it longer and lower, already got the 70cc lump in it.

Update. bent the footpeg back into the right place. I used a big hammer. Thats it.

another update, service. which involved new trans oil and cleaning the plug, good for another 6 months now!

update. airbox keeps sucking up water, i have to empty it once a month, going to biltema to buy some hose to make a snorkle.

there we go, modified intake took maybe 20 mins

Update, painted the front rim, back will be all black. Front is just a stripe, sticking whitewall summer tyres on next week

Wonder what happened to all the ones they sold in the catalogues.?.,seen the price of a standard classic tomos today.?..
Rare sight ,someones not stupid,eeh. .

mine cost 50 quid, with 2 extra sets of tyres and 4 liters of trans oil, full service history and its a 2011 model, its been a great winter bike, given it loads of abuse and had no problems with it. went offroading on it today, does well in the forest, im gonna buy myself a new pipe at the end of the summer ready for winter as the standard one is nearly dead!

oh that intake snorkle is now matt black, the new exhaust will be something like this http://www.1977mopeds.com/parts/exhaust/exhausts/tomos-a35-bullet-exhaust.html

Now we're talking 80'$ prices..,
got me thinking,no matter what- keep something in the living room..,
?create an adapter to connect,running off the lines of the frame. ..pipe running like that's an accident waiting to happen with a 'not paying attention' dismount. .

which pipe do you mean?

well the name scubabiker certainly suits the nature of your bike with its little water sucking habit
