| I swapped an old scooter, for one from a mate of mine. He had no idea how to fix it, I didn´t know much about it. Fixed in 2 minutes a wire had come out. So I sorted out the engine, I was 17 at the time, so I smoothed out the ports, ground to valves, cleaned everything inside and out. Put some Clip ons on, rear sets, racing tyres, I don´t know if I did much to it I got around 125 out of it and the acceleration had come up wonderful. I altered the tank, and everything else in my money range which wasn´t much. I did however had to get another engine, the clutch push rod had a habit of knackering the oil seal. I did get one made out of EN8, my mate was a turner at the shipyard I worked at. That was after the event, but we live and learn. I cut my teeth on that bike, My brother left me in charge of a James 125 Villiers, while he was somewhere around the world in the Navy. I tried to get that going but I was younger still, he didn´t like it when I sold it for a tenner. I lost it to a house repossesson when I was on a year long bender after a divorce. I´d love another, but like rocking horse stuff. Very hard to find nowadays. Lovely bike, |
