First start in almost 3 months!
« on: February 20, 2018, 02:51:49 AM »
November 25th was the last start for the Piaggio.


January 26th was the last start/ride for the LIKE.


Filled the tanks on both with SHELL super before parking them.

Gotta love EFI - they both fired super quick this afternoon, and settled down to a nice healthy idle.

Rain holds off tomorrow morning - hoping to take the LIKE for a distant cuppa Joe.
(reminding myself that I haven't been on two wheels in awhile....so, steady it goes)

You gottit CrossB, I'd fly anywhere with you!
Made it here OK; as long as I don't start replaying the theories of Counter Steering inside my helmet I should be able to stay out of the shrubbery!

  BV 350 Piaggio sport,   6547 Km. installed the  dr. pully sliders   I don't know if it is the rare days I can go for a ride , but the take off  feels like 8 sec, to 60 MPH. when it gets warm again I will time it,   I ordered 25/17  16 gram sliders and had to grind them down to fit, took about 1 hour to do the grinding,  by hand elec power went out this morning, so no elec., grinder,
 forgot to measure the belt ,  and could not find my holding tool for the variator,  my battery impack gun has near the right torque for the variator,
