Job for tomorrow, remove scoots rear wheel and try to eliminate the tyres flatulence problem.......how hard can it be?

 

Watch this space!. 😂 

Wheel back on the scoot....it was leaking from a bit of corrosion on wheel rim where the tyre bead sits, no leak now, but the tyre is down to 2.5 mm in the centre of the tread, will replace it before the MOT which is at the middle of August......£45 for a new tyre!.... Rip Off. 😂

That's a luxury, at least 120 quid for a new front or 180 quid for a rear

There are cheaper tyres available,  from brands that I have never heard of though🤔.....Michelin City Grip 2 at £45 sound like a good price....... it is from some outfit in Wales. 😂

Yes constantly follows me around...can't leave her inside...she wines or scratches the doors all up...lol...for a 14 year old dog other than being def.....still in good shape...

Treasure the time you have with her, loosing mine last year was really hard. The new pup follows me about - has a bed in the garage - doesn’t particularly  want  any attention, just wants to be with me and happy lays there snoring and farting.

Had a cheeky ride out to North Berwick this evening, no pictures as I didn’t want to trigger @Pedro with the deep fried battered sausage and chips with salt and sauce.

Anyway that well over the 500 miles break in for the new swing arm isolators, no discernible increase in vibrations and the handling is sweet. In other news I have lost some weight, probably the AIDS kicking in, so need to back off the shocks preload a little, probably quarter of a turn.

Shih Tzu’s have hair not fur so they don’t shed much at all.

You should get a dog to match your personality...get a Shih Tzu cross with a bull dog...?
