Those HD200/Joyride200 engines are really tractable, my Joyride will wind me and the missus up fairly steep hills without any issue and without needing full throttle either, it's only at motorway speed you notice the wallet protecting engine size.pikey wrote:Took it for a local run tried it up some hills not bad for 171 cc keeps up with traffic OK

You'll probably need a diamond coated file for stainless, it's very hard stuff!!
Tie downs look good BTW.

Re: What have you done to your Scooter today?
Fitted my wrapped panels back on the TMax... front end is all matt black with gloss red and white bits rear is yellow as in my avatar... it looks fooking odd and ugly lol
Re: What have you done to your Scooter today?
Changed the oil , fitted rear pads. mashed up some brake fluid reservoir lid screws.
What I wanted to do was all of the above AND wash it down, add antifreeze , put my Italian apron , put my Givi Rack and bunjees on and for the first time in my 5yr 30k history , use some product to make the panels black again.

Don't say I didn't warn you how ugly it looks!muddyfox wrote:Photos please Funkycowie.
It's a bit of a Frankenscoot right now

I still have 15 panels, large and small, I need to wrap for the final look. The wife has been taking me to and from work but her car is going in for a respray due to a paint defect on the roof so I need a working scoot.
