Looks like the effort was all worthwhile Mark....it looks stunning.....Originally Posted by MarkF
Used to have scooters in my yoof...and almost thought about getting another last year...till i saw the prices....if only i hadn't got the scrap man to empty my lock-up years ago for £50...reckon there would have been ££ thousands in there.
I will try and dig out some pics to scan....got some of my Stage 4 175cc Chopper, my Stage 4 175cc Cutdown, with rearsets, beedspeed drops, and MiKeck up and over.
Best one though was my 68 SX 200...TS1 kit, electroinc igntion...biturbo shock....36mm Amal...all sprayed up in original colours....used to give the XR2 boys a shock off the lights..especially when i put the Li 150 Pacemaker gears in it....couldn't keep the front wheel down in 1st and second....it subsequently destroyed the clutch basket etc..so i had to take it back out....
My mate had a an modded GP 200 frame with a GPX 600 engine in....now that was scary...attemped to take it down to Margate one year...never made it far......seems it couldn't do corners
