My buddy Mike. May he get his own scooter soon... And Bikeless, Ditto. This is what you see when you loan your scoot to a ridercoach...
What next, a sidecar forum, for crying out loud? Hey, wait a minute.... THese scoots were in a S/TEP class I helped teach last July: A friend of mine used to have a pretty cool collection of vintage and custom scooters; I have some great photos, but it is a pain in the ass to post pix on ADVrider anymore and I don't have time to mess with it now.
A Zuma rental in Marmaris, Turkey... What a hoot, we rode the piss out of them Even a ratted out rental Zuma was good for a tad over 60mph (in a aero tuck!). Edit - now that I think about it could it have been 60 on a 49cc? Speedo said 100km/ph...
Recently traded this P.O.S For this one. Both 1980 P 200s. The new one is low miles with a 210 Malossi head and piston. Pollini pipe is on order from Scooterworks! Even upgraded to the oversize milk carton carryall. :eek1
Did you change the mainjet? I think with a more freeflowing exhaust and larger piston, jump up a size or 2 for a richer mix? Am I correct in this thinking?
OMG. I love the CT's. My neighbor had a CT-70 when I had a Z-50, and it was the "big bike" in the neighborhod. I think Sochiro Honda had us all hooked by age 7. Speaking of CT's...I'd sell my soul for a perfect CT-110. Probably one of the kewlest camp bikes ever made, next to the TW-thingey.
Basically, yes. But the scoot also has a Dellorto 24G carb, which is very finicky to dial in. Started with a 120, backed down to a 110 and soft-seized, now I'm at a 112, and it's still not quite there because the idle is handling most of the around town stuff and it's rich but on long country rides it's a bit lean.
This is the only pic I have. My Alienware crashed taking all my pictures and old camera software with it (limping along on an old notebook for now). Got a new Canon SD400 and snapped this with it before the wife stole it and took it to Las Vegas with her (to do a Track Day at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway).
What? No 100 mirrors? Actually, not even 2 mirrors? You don't find it annoying that you can't see what's behind you? :eek1
