Re: I took a ride on my Scooter, for the first time!

You might remember I had a little side project, a 1968 Czechoslavakian Tatran 125. Little scooter with 7hp, 4spd transmision, etc etc.

Anyway, I got it running about a month ago, but haven't done much to it since. Yesterday, I finished rewiring it all, so now everything works on it except the brake light... I have high/low beam, pilot light, speedo light, turn signals, etc etc.

I couldn't get it to rev, so I messsed with the ignition advance, and finally got it revving. Well. Time for a ride.

Seeing as how I'm not used to a 30+ yr old scooter clutch, I killed it my first try. So the second try, I gave her more gas, and let the clutch out a bit faster.

HOLY CRAP! I popped a wheelie ON MY SCOOTER, and flew across my dad's yard and intot he neighbors yard. WEEE!



I then took it for a little ride up the street and hit a maxiumum of about 30mph in 2nd gear. I STILL HAVE TWO MORE GEARS! WOOHOO! Anyway, this thing is FUN. Today I'm going to change the oil and tune it so it runs better.

Later!

my dad is czech so if he seen that you had one of his old scooter he would probably kill you over it
