Where does he put the two-stroke?

Nick rode to Scooter Surgery last Saturday on his new set of wheels on a flaming hot June day -  don't they good they look together?

But where does he put his two stroke?

Motorway Nightmare No1

Oh dear, clutches burn out on the best of us!

Mike's Li with no name

A very excited Mike collected his restored Li175 today. Not every scooter has a name... in our experience it doesn't mean they're any less treasured!

Here is 'Little Flirt' with her proud owner Chris. What a handsome pair.

How to tell your LC from your LD (part 1)

Matthew has owned this beautiful LC for some years, he contacted us recently about getting her running properly again... There's several ways to tell a LC from a LD - here's two of them:

· The LC tool holder is narrower at the back end than the front (the LD tool holder is smaller overall).

· The LC rear suspension is a knuckle joint that 'rocks'.

5 Speed... Indeed!

This is Darren’s engine, another monster! Well on the way to a complete rebuild - including a new 'Cyclone 5' gear box.

And the bodywork ready for the painters.

Rusty's gone 'ome

"Will she Fly?"

"Mmmm perhaps not, but she's got wings"

We have lift off! Pat' finishes his tea and lights a cigar...

Lovely Rusty, the brave little LD125  - gets her wheels in a spin and a new lease of life.

Rusty

Here is Rusty (see blog entry 23rd Jan 2013). She has had an engine rebuild and is now running beautifully. John her proud owner is picking her up on Friday. If he agrees I'll add a picture of him with Rusty.

Cyclone 5

Andy’s Series 2 Rebuild            

           

This engine is undergoing a complete rebuild using the best quality parts available... so a Cylone 5 speed gearbox was Andy's first request. Patch has chosen to fit the gearbox with an overall ratio of 4.80 - with a 16% rise in each gear the Cyclone 5 will offer good top end speed and excellent usable power throughout the gear range.

A Casa 210 will produce excellent torque and approximately 14 BHP. The addition of a Casa 'variable timing' electronic kit, will make this scooter perform as well in town as it will on the motorway... making it usable in all conditions.

Fuel is provided through a 25mm rubber mounted Dellorto carb', utalising the original air filter system and a Casa 42mm big bore exhaust.
