[Gweester]

7pm is fine with me....

but i will not be on my scoots!!! sorry guys...

[-ResiDue-]

blackbird lover!

ahahah..

anyways, interested to know why u selling ur blackbird?

[Gweester]

hmmm.....a little mixed feeling selling my bb.....guess i will chill out on my scoots for the time being....save some money.....

back to the basics!!! Scootering!!!

[-ResiDue-]

ahahahah...

upz!

but i guess the most difficult to adjust to would be the speed...

ride on my brother's haya....

then ride my vespa...

the speed difference is totally huge!!!!

mind-boggling really...

anyways bb how many cc?

[Gweester]

yeah.....gotta get used to the speed....

but it is not just the speed....the handling....the weight....the cornering....

BB is 1100cc....

well...age catching up....got tired on the heavy weight of the bike....hence reverting back to my beloved scoots....

hmm....but then again....will definitely miss the speed though....

watever!!!!

[-ResiDue-]

ooooo....

yeah yeah...back to the oldskool!!

so far how much have you spent redoing your scoot?

planning to get a scorpion exhaust?

or have you already gotten it?

[Gweester]

yeah....oldskool rocks!!!

i think my restoration cost is better left unsaid....

for exhaust i am not too sure yet.....still trying to figure out which to use...

used to own a proma but dont noe where i put it liao....#$@[email protected] anway, it is not legal...

scorpian? hmmm...very interested but need to do all the documentation....

see how lah....will get back my scoots for test ride b4 i decide....

[-ResiDue-]

yeah....

proma......if kena fine, chialat...

hoping to DIY my rusty exhaust next weekend....

hopefully everything goes well....

cannot say?

hmmmm...

interestinggg...

[Gweester]

 

just to let you know.....vespa parts are rather cheap....but the bits and pieces adds up to quite a lot of money....

[-ResiDue-]

true true!

do you know how much the pointed brake lever costs?

just asking really kos it suddenly popped into my head...

[Gweester]

those classic brake level???

hmmm....cant remember though....think about S$12...

was previously using them...not fantastic to used but just that it looks oldskool....

the bended (which is will be changing to) is better....

[-ResiDue-]

you mean the bent one with the ball at the end?

currently using that one....

thinking of trying the pointed one..

any difference performance-wise?

[Gweester]

the bended ones are easier to clutch in than those pointed ones....

[-ResiDue-]

hmmm....

point for consideration.....

will probaby be getting a new tyre this sat....

tubeless will have to wait...

n if + carb it's less than $100, i'll probably do it on sat..

possible for all that to be ~$100 total?

or slightly more?

[Gweester]

price wise i guess u need to check it out urself....

cos for 2 tyres, it is already about S$70-S$80 bucks....not to mentioned the carbs.....

probably the carbs should be the next priority after the tyres....

[-ResiDue-]

i'm only changing the front tyre kos it's going bald in the middle..

the rear tyre just got changed so i wont touch it...

wait n see if my brother can get a new tyre like he said...

i'll ask for quotes...

planning to spend ard $100 on mods this mnth...

excluding the normal servicing or breaking of other things

[Gweester]

ok...front tyres only....

if u add in the carbs + labour...it will definitely cost you more than 100....

[-ResiDue-]

slightly more or alot more?

like $20-30 more or twice the original sum?

[Gweester]

should be less than S$150 (one tyre + carb with installation)...if i remembered correctly...

[Sharpey]

Don't go changing your carb cephelix... especially if its a 24/24 (which I'm almost 100% sure it is).... The only 200cc bikes with 20/20 carbs were sold in the states in the early 80's to comply with strict emissions laws....

[Gweester]

oh yah.....

 

cephelix, yours is a PX200 rite?? then it should already be a 24/24.....

good eyes sharpey!!!

[Sharpey]

They don't call me Sharpe for nothing

 

Cephelix... at the meetup I can show you a quick way of getting more performance out of your current carb (if not done already) as well as help you tune it up.....

 

Happy to help out... I'll show you what to do.
