Sad to say that the weather is doing exactly as predicted, it never got above 0c yesterday and today has been 8c w/30 mph wind and rain.
I am considering bringing the moped into the living room and attacking it with spanners and accessory parts.
I need to tune the carb on that one too. I already have the jet for the carb, which I took off the big bike, and a jazzy high flow air filter is in the post from China. That should get here by June!
I am limited as to what I can admit to doing to that little bike due to it needing to maintain its untaxed, unregistered, uninsured and untaged status. By law it must have less than 2 hp and not go more than 30mph. (good luck with that!)
So I have two project bikes to work on.
Try to talk the wild child into a 49cc scooter SS. After all , its not a "real bike" and can not possibly go fast enough to hurt yourself on it. Then when she is not looking you can poke holes in the silencer, re-jet the carb, open the air box take half the weights out of the variator, shave down the pulley boss and have some fun.
Oh yes, I did install a solar battery charger in the bike shed for keeping the battery in the RE topped up. Not that we have seen the sun since the day I installed it!
