Meet at Tra Amici, 1 pm. I am riding the D!

[jbcollier]

LOTS OF GRAVEL!

RIDE CAREFULLY!!

Sunny tomorrow but not warm, +2° for the high.

My son helped me shovel the roadway out front so we'll have a clear path for the D tomorow. No Dad could be happier.

The PAv won't make it as I did not have time to fit longer studs to the spare tire holder.

+2 is still not warm enough for me.

What's my three or four blocks compared to everyone else's ride? And you'd be coming down the very greasy Groat Road. Nope, discretion is definitely the better part of valour.

Good to see everyone who makes it regardless of how they get there.

Great to see everyone! Especially nice to see Graham's Lambretta back on the road.

I think next weekend will actually be WARM. Hope to see more out then. Perhaps we could go for a ride beforehand?

Definitely a wee bit of sorting to do on the D:
- 30 to 35 mph tops with James and me on board. And not very quick getting there.
- Still too rich in the top end -- dropped the jet to 108 from 110 -- but maybe too lean in the mid range.
- Hell of a big jump from second to third. Anyone have a four speed box to hand ;-) ?
- Shifts like a dream.
- Whiny rear end: probably normal.
- Very, very comfortable ride: softly sprung with the new dampers working as advertised.
- Low beam blew, there may be a regulator issue or perhaps I handled the bulb a little roughly.
- I am starting to get a hang on firing it up from cold; like me, it needs a good tickle to get going.

Everything considered, I'm very happy with it.

I am starting to get a hang on firing it up from cold; like me, it needs a good tickle to get going.

Just a little too much information....

All the rest seems normal when sorting a newly rebuild scoot and being a Lambretta... Glad your happy

Cheers

Okie Dokie, mums the word ;-)

I think I'll go down one more size with the main and raise the needle one notch.
