Re: What have you done to your Scooter today?
Went to smc sheffield to order a bearing for transmission case, and I picked up some front brake pads. On my way home my bolt on my exhaust, oxygen sensor fell off. Sounded like Ian chopper at Buxton.
Got it home and bodged it till I get another. 10p and jubilee clip.

Took it out for a test ride after I finshed both jobs and the exhaust is fine, but the front brakes stopped working, by this when I pulled the front brake lever it came flush with the grip, checked the calipers to see if the fluid had come out, NO. So I had to travel home with only a rear brake. A mile down the road it worked again???????????? What could this be? Just so confused???

Sing along with Dean Martin....
When the brakes seem to fade, exhaust's crappily made,
That's...... Aprilia!
Only joking Aprilia fans. It's Steve... He can break anything, Burgmans, Tmax, etc. etc.

Sandy and I had a nice little ride out on our Burgman tonight. Went down to Lands End and had a bite to eat, then back up to Marazion for a stroll on the beach and an ice cream. Burgman’s going really well now and fuel consumption has increased to 62MPG.

^^ Very beautiful pictures Raven. It seems it was a great day to ride.
Really can't decide if I like the front screen cover Plasti-dipped. What do you think?
