Installed a vacuum fuel pump on my Stella. After installing a Polini intake and PWK 28mm it would run itself outta fuel. It's all good now, ripping HARD
Sonja has been dormant for too long and now I can enjoy banging gears again!

I went for a ride and found my self in the middle of a bunch(gaggle?)of Subaru's and Honda racers.It still annoys the shit out of me that people think noise equals power. A tubbed and blown Chevy C10 went by yesterday with the obvious whine of a blower and that was OK with me and sport bikes scream past and that's cool with me. It's something about incredibly loud Harleys and slow trucks that annoys me. I couldn't agree more!!

I went for a ride and found my self in the middle of a bunch(gaggle?)of Subaru's and Honda racers.It still annoys the shit out of me that people think noise equals power. Around me the worst offenders are pickups with glasspacks or no mufflers. Better yet, some of them squatted in the rear. They annoy me because some are so loud that I can be in the garage with all doors and windows shut when I'm trying to talk to the camera for scoot vids and they will ruin it so I have to start over. A tubbed and blown Chevy C10 went by yesterday with the obvious whine of a blower and that was OK with me and sport bikes scream past and that's cool with me. It's something about incredibly loud Harleys and slow trucks that annoys me. Harleys just get on my nerves, Tons of noise and they're going nowhere. and the community is just horrendously snobby too

First ride in a long time today: Last week it acted like it did, when the pilot jet was clogged and carb was dirty. So pinkscoot took a look at it, did some adjustments, and took it for a spin. Other then only having 12 PSI in the front tire it just needed to be ridden. By the time it got a much needed bath it stormed, and my ride had to wait. Got back on it today. She did great on my test hill on 1st. Street, but no right turn signals. Start switch is dodgy too. They r on order from ScooterPartsCo.com

Just work the switches a few times to wear through the oxidation from just sitting. Maybe un-plug and plug the connectors a few times. Use spark plug dielectric compound on the connectors and switches once you get them working.
Check the kill switch to make sure it is working.

No today but yesterday I planned to just ride around my trailer park, get mail and just do some listening to the sound my bike makes, Ear Diagnostics. Ive been doing it for a few weeks now since I had a minor accident about a month ago, two kids on bikes swerved into my path, rather than chance any collision I stopped as quickly as possible and fell to the ground busting my front panels and injuring my leg, neither anything serious. Shielding screws ripped out so now its duct taped together. Need to source new panels eventually. Never actually got anything done since we got a mini monsoon downpour mixed with sleet so bike time was a no go. Hope everyone elses bike time was productive.

I took a morning ride of about 30 miles. I was going to the mega lo mart on a 2 lane each way,40 mph stretch of street.Apparently it was going much too smooth because as I was driving I realized a gaggle (!)of geese decided to cross the 4 lanes, not at the crosswalk. I counted no less than 25 . We as good humans patiently waited til the 25 safely got across. It delayed us about 30 seconds.It was cool.Got running done this morning as it's gonna be 95 F (35C)today.

Modified the tachometer bracket and fitted it to the aerox. So I can have a play with the new evo variator. Though it's been over 86°F, all week, it's supposed to rain the weekend. 😞

Had the recall done on my Smax yesterday about 100 miles away at the dealer. There is one closer but I prefer Ed's cycles in Cleveland Tn. Then I changed the oil today and ordered an air filter.

Bloody hell pete you guys sure pay for the shippnig.Is 2/3 the price just shipping?On the upside(I assume) you can go and make a friend with a koala or kangaroo which would be fun.
