    I know stuff all about scooters, altrhough one is turning up for me later this year from Europe:evil
    I have seen two spills in Nowra , girls on scooters, one happened right in front of me, nearly ran over her:eek1, I saw the front wheel just fold under, so the biggest wheels you can get are essential I reckon.Hope she enjoys it:deal

    Errr... Congrats.

    You can have a shitload of fun on small bikes. Mental health is worth saving:nod. Gotta think of it as having a happy Mrs not a 60k deficit. I try to do this... My Mrs has a small business / hobby It would be great if she could earn even 20!

    on a more serious note, i got board today and finally installed that genuine givi brake light topbox thing i had sitting in the shed, over engineered, and the instructions were worse than Chinese, lots of little double pronged bulkhead things, so it goes from base into topbox, then from bottom to the lid of the topbox, then into another hole, into a few leds inside the lid.

    and i butchered a charging cable, and plugged it into my powerlet bulkhead port, to install a maplight and a voltometer, controlled by a 2 way switch.

    A little test of wits, last night while indulging in a cold XXXX at the Stonehenge Pub, i noticed a sign in the bar that said: YCHJCYFCFTRFDS :scratch It took me about another 12 beers to work it out :lol3 See how you go :brow.

    Over it!!!!!!!!!!!:D Went to move one of the hot rods, spat the front seal out of the tranny:cry

    [​IMG]

    This is built with clearances of about 2mm all round, so I've had a fair old workout, but its on the floor!:clap
    [​IMG]

    Havent used it for years, but because its totally built by me, I'll never get rid of it, they can dig a dirty big hole and stick me in the drivers seat with the DR in the back and fill it in when the time comes!:deal
