G'Day all, I found some decals at our local cheap shop. I couldn't resist, had to put them on. Along with some small flames down the sides I have put this woman on the front. I think she looks pretty cool. I don't know how long they will last, just have to wait and see. I tried to post some pics yesterday but they were oversize.
-
Now I will try to get one of the flames, (I get bored sometimes lol.)
-
Diggi'n the Broad! Thats a nice clean scoot! Does the heart good to see another zx...
-
Yours is the same color as mine, but in waaay better condition! Mine was beat to hell by the previous owner! All my plastics are cracked and scratched! I go more for the sleeper look I guess! Although, it didn't help when I got pulled over today! :P
-
Yeah, we've had this scooter for a little over a year, it was about 2 years old when we got it. It does have a few scratches but nothing bad.
-
Did they throw you on the ground shouting "STOP RESISTING" F.T.P!

Haha! No! Sorry about the thread jack, but here's the story!
I was cruising through the UNCW campus when I pulled out behind an unmarked car from a stop sign. I went a ways further, stopped at another stop sign, made a left, still behind po po. We came to a red light. Po po signals left, I signal right and pull around them. I make a stop and wait for an oncoming truck then pull in behind the truck. Po po decides to follow me right with lights a blaze! I figure, "I've done nothing wrong, must be after the truck in front of me" so I keep going. We are all coming up on another stop sign, the cops honk their horn, I look back and motion me? He points to me, so I stop. The po po man asks me if I know why he stopped me. Of course, I have no idea! He says the speed limit is 25 mph, he was doing 28 mph, I was behind him. I laugh and say, "and?" Well, "and" I made an illegal right hand turn at the light by passing him. Trying real hard not to laugh, I say "OK, and?" He said, "You don't see anything wrong with that"? I say, "No, I didn't know that was an illegal turn, and I was going 3mph over the speed limit, but Ok"! I give him my ID, I don't have a license. He goes back to his car while his partner keeps me company, asking all sorts of questions about the scoot. Then back-up arrives! The trunk on the initial car pops open, po po gets out to get a file! I'm thinking "Oh $h*t, I wasn't even doing anything!" To make a long story, well long. After about 10 more mins. po po gets out and gives me my id back, tells me to be safe, and I'm on my again! I really hate cops! >:( F.T.P!!!!!

:D IM Diggen Your scoot BRO
-
Im a sucker for stickers. Just check out my a50, the san antonio scoot.
-
I removed the flames soon after putting them on. They were on backwards, doh! The lady is still on the front though.
-
that is a clean scoot there sid....dig the chick tho, wasnt big on those kind of flames....(glad you got rid of them. :D )....i guess thats the same one thats bbked??..it is a sleeper.. ;D, wish you hadnt had so many issues with that kit. ;) i want one. :D the one color looks better than later yrs where they changed the fender, bottom panel color.
-
..i like that girl...mhhmm...
-
Thanks batman, yeah, the flames went. I have got some silver pinstriping coming. Yep, the bbk kit, I have decided to split the cases to open the inlet up, that might utilise the 24mm carb better.
-
With regard to the cyl. kit, it was a headache, but now, it would be a whole lot easier. This forum and the members who make are completely friggin awesome.
-
Which kit did you get? What did it bump you UP to?
-
Got a kit from an ebay seller autotech 355. 50mm piston, 82cc. Is a big improvement but she is holding out on me. I think she wants a massage.:)
-
This is the scoot as she stands today. The top box was $90 from our, at the time, Kymco dealer, the brand is BUG, who distribeted these scoots in Australia at the time. It is cheap and nasty, one hinge breaks off if you close the lid onto something with any sort of pressure. Which is why I don't put my fullface helmet in there any more. When the hinge breaks, I just grab the trusty soldering iron and fix it. It is too handy to not have.
-
Hey, that's nice lookin', sid! Does that color match the paint on your car, if that's your car in the background?
-
Yes, for two vehicles made in such far away places, it is amazing how close they are.
That is the car that I just had the whole dash panel out of a couple months ago. That was a very scary proposition. I also found out my problem, thanks to art. My steering wheel is on the wrong side.
pmsl. ;D
-
lol, sid. you crack me up! :D
So now you just drive on the other side of the road to compensate, right? ;D
-
To quote Will Ferrel, "evryone's doing it". :)
-
what up sid? yeah, the bbk may be easy for you again...i couldnt do it.... ;D you had to get techy with that kit for awhile.. :o my scoot dam near matches my blazer also...whats up with that??. scoots and cars matching..b
-
If you got a kit like that and had that sort of trouble, the information to sort it out is here now, it has been done.
When we were looking for a scooter, Mrs. Sid wanted a red one, but this was the only one for sale in the state. It was quite funny, we drove 400 kms to buy it from a dealer, they didn't have it cleaned up for sale, it was out the back. He started it up and I took it for a ride, a very weird experience, i had never ridden a scooter before. As they were a dealer, I got to ride the demo one which had about 170kms on it. They wanted $1,500 for it, he dropped to $1,300, when I offered $1,200, he was not impressed, his whole demeanour changed. I must have insulted him, I paid the $1,300. Gotta love salesmen.
-
all that machine work would be most of my problem, then the cyl. raising and lowering... :o oh yeah, you mentioned splitting the cases... for the intake inlet???? i think that is one of our problems.. thats TINY.......and the variator.. ;D
-
Bug = Kymco, right?
.
-
yep. Was the Australian distributor.
I have the cases open now, so there is no going back.
I have now edited the phones mistakes.:)
-
Please excuse my spelling errors, I blame the mobile phone for them, it is illiterate.
-
Them dang illiterate phones! :D It might be related to my keyboard. ;D
-
This is the scoot as she stands today.
...nnicccce...
