Raizer Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Might need to do a bit more to the carb tuning and possibly the front brake or something first... Went for a ride this evening and took a few pics Was going ok, jetting seems pretty close etc. After taking the last pic I was coming down the hill, 1st wheelie, 2nd wheelie, slow change to 3rd, 45k on Speedo, opened the throttle wide then it was like hitting a wall and the world spun around on me Front wheel locked up solid and the scooter instantly flipped on me, happened fast but I think my head, gloveless hands and left shoulder took the brunt of the impact, bike landed hard on my back. Pretty sure nothing is broken, but both hands, shoulder, knee, ankle and basically whole left side are fucking sore. Apparently I'm confined to couch rest and am not allowed to go and pull the front end apart right now, but yeah something has locked the front wheel solid. Brake lever is snapped, indicator lense is smashed and there is a bit of road rash etc here and there. All in all I'm thinking I came out lucky. 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Get yourself in for x rays on your hands and get a acc claim in if you haven't already. Got a chunk of bone floating around in my little finger from when i took a tumble back in February. Cant do bugger all about it now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 as mentioned on FB, glad you are okay man. Also glad ya weren't doing 100+ That photo of the brake shoes should be a good lesson for all of us- these parts are old and definitely not made for the heat and abuse they now see. Also shows how valuable safety gear is. So many people will rip round with just shorts on because its just a scooter- that ain't cool. xoxo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Raizer Posted June 2, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2018 Turns out I also bent the bars fairly bad along with the right footpeg, @Shakotom is hopefully able to hook me up with his old stock bars for it, foot pegs are easy enough to hammer back into shape. Been contemplating upgrading to a 155z engine, but have come to the conclusion that it just isn't worth it as long as I'm stuck with 4 gears. Also figuring out 4 stroke isn't really my thing, so I'm keeping an eye out for my next project... I'm not looking for anything specific, goal is small frame "50", big 2t single with pref 6 speed box. Doesn't mean I'm done fucking with this thing though, ordering a wideband for my business soon and aim to get this thing as dialled in as possible as I know there is still a decent amount of power locked away in the carb tune, but I don't think it's worth it for me to dump another $1000 into it or anything. Couple more pics too, chur to @MichaelJFox! 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I'm glad you're ok. I'm glad you're buying a wide band. I'm glad you still like two strokes. I was just saying to a mate the other day (whom I talked into buying a CT90) that it's a pity you can't get 2Ts that have the same bolt up as all these other motors. I joked about putting the RD350 motor in my NBC, but that would equal instant death. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimjon Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 2 stroke goodness...yes...yes...yes! There's gotta be something that'll fit with bit of cutting and welding. Hmmm cogs are turning in my head??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 New shoes, brake lever, hit the bars with an axe till they were close enough for now and it was time to take it around the block and bed the brake in. Somehow ended up around the coast a bit in torrential rain and massive side winds ha Turns out I bent one of the rear shocks the other day, so it's now semi hardtail lol New brakes suck compared to the OS 1972 shoes lol. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 @GuyWithAviators took me out for a succulent Chinese meal and a late night pest on Saturday, between the neons, slam, rattyness and my open exhaust the 2 little Hondas definitely attracted a lot of attention haha 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
